1. Lil' Wayne |
mixtapes, singles and more
For anyone who has not unearthed the genius that is Lil Wayne, get yourself to
a computer! Kanye and 50 have more in common with the rap stylings of my mom
than they do to Lil Wayne tracks "La la la" and "Husler Musik." (And needless
to say, my mom is only a slightly better rapper than Steven Perry.)
2. Wilco | tracks from Sky Blue Sky
Leaked openly and often, I was dizzy with excitement when the great full length
was finally released. Needless to say, I splurged on the double album vinyl.
Who says MP3s killed the record biz?
3. Radiohead | In Rainbows
Were they the first? No. Did they really change anything?
Maybe. Is it a great album for free? Yes. (Saving up for the $90 vinyl
release.)
4. Dan Deacon | Freeindie.com Web Remix
Time to get electro-freaky with your favorite balding, knob turning, button
pushing singer/songwriter. Bonus points for the YouTube vids from his awesome Pitchfork
set.
5. The Archivist | s/t EP
The magic of MySpace: a six-song EP from this sleepy bedroom singer is
available for free at myspace.com/iamthearchivst. With props from blogs like Said
the Gramophone and Gorilla vs. Bear, it's a hit for sure
6. SXSW 2007 | http://2007.sxsw.com/music/showcases/date/2007-03-17.html
C'mon people, god knows I don't love Austin, Texas,
but you gotta love some free MP3s, especially coming from all your favorite
rock bands. Wax Fang opened for My Morning Jacket recently and killed, Dr. Dog
survived Wilco hype, Pink Nasty overcame cover hype and the 7 Shot Screamers
made Missouri proud. Don't ever
say you can't find new music.
7. The Livers | s/t
Two guys + one video projector = pure rock. A little old school Kennedy's, a
little Bad Religion, and a sprinkle of GWAR. Two powerhouse musicians; check
these St. Louis guys out. http://www.myspace.com/dependsonthelivers
8. Bit Torrent | everything
I know, I know, in this day and age, though, who isn't previewing? I mean, I
love Kings of Leon, but for reals, gonna by the record? No. Spoon? Maybe. Interpol?
Not on your life.
9. R.Kelly | Trapped in the Closet
Not exactly a download per se, but a webisode perhaps. It's worth the download
time, I promise. Midgets, felons, and sexy ladies, all trapped in the closet.
Get it all on ifc.com. "Oh shit."
