Yet another mp3 blog, online since October 6th, 2008!
(And here's the origin of this blog's name.)
Of course, I don't link directly to anything but mp3s that have been made available for free by authors or their labels, or that were digitised from public domain recordings.

Zak Sally – “Why We Hide”
From the tasty Cybersex (!) sampler released by Sub Pop. All tracks are top-notch indie.
A song that reminds me why poetry should continue being written and taught in this materialistic, short-attention-span, performance-led world of ours. A song that reminds me of the poems I tried to write at 15 (though I can’t remember of any of my output that sounds as great). A song I’d forgotten in a corner of my hard drive even though I’d spend months a year ago in bliss each time it shuffled its way into my iPod headphones.
And the perfect musical arrangements, too (I really enjoy the lovely, discrete electronics behind the song’s acoustic pop instrumentation, that rise for the concluding adlib).
They’re working on a new record, I read. That’s good news.
