MP3 blog 2012/04/30

YES, I know this is a day late.  I was SLEEPY.
BTW people, I noticed that the stats on this blog are plummeting.  Like, HALF of the people out there are not downloading the blog anymore.  So tell you friends to set up their notifications, and spread word about this blog.  I'll only keep updating if people are finding this useful.  ~Caitlyn




blog 2012/04/30 - the place where you are is where you were looking for.


200 Years - Solar System:  From the self-titled album, I never would have expected such a beautifully small folk song to be named after a period of time so long, or a span of space so large...

Ava Luna - Wrenning Day:  There's something a bit gritty and overwrought going on here, but it still has that Jamie Lidell-style deepfunk goodness.  From the new album Ice Level.

Beck - Farewell Ride (myles AWAY bootleg):  Slamming beat, with of course of Notorious tossed in for good measure.

Doseone - Last Life:  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NEW DOSEONE!  I love this man so much, and have been jonesing for new stuff since last year's 13 & God album.  New album G is for Deep out soon!!!!

Gramatik - Dungeon Sound:  You generally know what you're going to get with Gramatik, and that's OK.  Street Bangerz Volume 3 delivers the boombap goodness you expect and deserve.

LCMDF - Mountains (Skeetskeet Remix):  Sweet beat electro pop boomin.

Maddslinky - Special (Chimpo Remix):  I love the grimey garage riddims with the soul vocals on top, they're really my faves.

Mates Of State - Unless I'm Led:  Another fabulous track from last year's Mountaintops.

Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Life in Muscle
Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Must Be Blind:  All hail record store day!  Another fabulous single springs forth from that collector-frothing event.

Raekwon - Chinese Marines ft Mobb Deep:  How is Raekwon still dropping it so hot???  New tape is Unexpected Victory and holy shit is it all this good?

Silencio - Gone
Silencio - Home:  2 delicate tracks from the new album When I'm Gone.

Skruncha-roo - Deer and I:  Dreamy chopped vox downtempo oh yes.

The Mountain Goats - Damn These Vampires (live 2011-03-28 Bowery Ballroom NYC)
The Mountain Goats - This Year ft Craig Finn of Hold Steady (live 2011-03-28 Bowery Ballroom NYC):  Do you remember reading that crazy incident where Craig Finn came on stage to sing with Mountain Goats?  Well holy shit, the NYC Taper recorded that show and here is the magical moment.  Amazing.

The Walkmen - 138th St (iTunes Session):  Itunes sessions might just be cheap ways to drum up extra exclusive sales, but ahhh how can I resist?

Toe - Goodbye ft Toki Asako:  Japanese instrumentalist proggers toe get some much-appreciated vocals on the track and the results are stunning.
