WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Do you like free music

Posted over 2 years ago
To make yourself a little sampler of the top 10 artists on the rise in 2007, clink on the following link to AOL music, and download 10 songs for free. http://www.spinner.com/2007/03/16/they-will-rock-you-10-new-artists-for-2007/The artists they are featuring are ones a lot of people have been mentioning here on MOG and your little compilation cd will look like this.1. Field Music - "Close At Hand" Sounds Like: A more self-aware indie version of 'Fragile'-era Yes2. EL - P - "Smithereens"Sounds Like: If anyone, you can hear shades of Public Enemy and other leaders of the old school3. Young Love - "Discotech"Sounds Like: The love child of an illicit affair between the Killers and Bloc Party4. Cortney Tidwell - "Eyes Are At the Billions"Sounds Like: If Bjork and Mazzy Star gathered dusty tunes on a Southern road trip5. Dustin Kensrue - "Pistol"Sounds Like: Solo acoustic Paul Westerberg cribbing from his Johnny Cash collection6. Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - "I.C.E."Sounds Like: Fela Kuti, if the Afrobeat pioneer was from New York instead of Nigeria7. Rosie Thomas - "Much Farther To Go"Sounds Like: An indie-folk Joni Mitchell with a sense of humor8. The Cinematics - "Break"Sounds Like: Jeff Buckley's ghost fronting the Cure9. Land of Talk - "Speak To Me Bones"Sounds Like: PJ Harvey fronting Sonic Youth as a rambunctious teen10. Amy Winehouse - "You Know I'm No Good"Sounds Like: Lauryn Hill fronting the Supremes on a bender -- in fact, Winehouse's backing singers launched into a snippet of 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' during Thursday's SXSW show.There you go moggers, get em before the hipsters claim em.

  7. watchbatteries says ok Field Music was offered via facebook El-P contributed a remix of 'Hours' to Return to Cookie Mountain Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra? We just call them Antibalas. Amy Winehouse-half of MOG and all of the UK knows the WInehouse, but am I the only one who hears a bit of jazz influence in it? Hipsters don't use AOL

  9. Me and the Horse I Rode In On says I have to say that the last couple of Kexp's Music That Matters podcasts have blown me away and given me many great new songs. Also You Ain't No Picasso gives me many new songs that I get new flavors all the time
