Watch this movie, buy the soundtrack, watch this movie. It's sweetness will break your heart, in a good way (if that's possible).

Frankenstein Mix Tape
So I read this idea on artofthemix.org and maybe I am in the dark, but I absolutely love the idea of putting a mixtape together this way and have never tried it quite like this before.Here's the details:1. song from the last record bought 2. A blues: not a necessarily a blues record but a song that is labelled (something) blues 3. song that gets you going in the morning 4. romantic song 5. One ...

End of the Year Mix
So I was getting ready to put together my Favorite Songs from 2006 mix cd and I am thinking that so many others of you out there do the same thing and with that in mind I was wondering if anyone out there would like to trade those cds this year when they are completed? Mine is usually done by the middle of January and I only allow myself to use songs that were released (or that were on albums tha

The Streets + Coldplay = Mat Kearney

Artist:

Album:
OK, so he's not as good as either one of them, but still this album makes for a very, very good listen. Don't be turned off by the cheese or the rap, embrace them together as one and enjoy!

Badly Drawn Goodness!

Artist:

Track:
The new Badly Drawn Boy album is superb! I a little bit biased, yes, but I really think that it's one of his best albums so far. Musically speaking I believe it is his best effort yet. It didn't hit me as hard on the first listen, except for a few songs, but with each listen after that it gets me everytimej. Great stuff.

Dear Sufjan Stevens, You owe me 50 bucks (plus gas, mileage and most importanly, time).
-
Artist:

Having been a fan of his for a while and loving every album had definitely made me think that this night would be something special. Sadly, it was only something boring. Sufjan and his collage of college music majors performed for themselves onstage and not for

Weird Al, Don't Call It a Comeback!
Ok, so it's always been a guilty pleasure of mine and I was just saying to my wife the other day that I wish Weird Al would come out with another album, the man is a lyrical genius, no matter what you think. His new song and video are great, check it out on YouTube!

Music-Map.com
This site, an off-shoot of gnod.com is really, really cool. Put it an artist that you like and it gives you a "map" of similar artists...it's really cool, did I already say that? Try it. One note of caution though: I searched for The Flaming Lips, Pet Shop Boys and The Magnetic Fields and somehow Ron Sexsmith came up on the map for each one.Obviously that means that Ron Sexsmith's mom must be

Salon.com
So it's probably been around for a while, but I just recently discovered the Audiofile section of Salon.com. There is a free download of good indie-type tracks every day, but more importantly they are all archived so there are literally hundreds on the site that you can download for free. I only have gotten a couple so far, The new La Rocca, Cold War Kids and Roommate, but there are plenty more.
