free musics, how can you say no?
really old boards of canada album released on cassette [old skool!] can be downloaded here.
also went to an brilliant gig last week, el heath, what the moon is like & strap the button. strap are my favourite band out of everyone who ever played at the nights i used to put on in shrewsbury but i hadn't seen them live for nearly 2 years, i'd forgotten how much i like them. there's about ten of them onstage all going crazy, their sets are like one giant song played at a volume at least 3 notches higher than is good for anybody's ears, makes it such a visceral experience.
anyway, this reminded that a couple of the strap boys run "a tiny little Net and CD-R Label" called my formica table where they just give you free music from all their artists. the last.fm playlist that starts when you open the site is pretty intense, but i downloaded the gianluca licciardi album & it's really rather pretty. also recommend strap the button [obv] & hubbard, who makes glitchy electronic weirdness.
at the gig el heath played with dave bell, a rather sweet boy who also happens to run another free music online label thingy, records on ribs. so far i've only listened to talk less, say more, chosen due to descriptive phrases such as
the neon lights of 80s electropop with wide-eyed Italo synths
relentless thud of the Berlin techno minimalism
the anarchist pop spirit of Giorgio Moroder
Minimal techno, pound shop electro
it's paying off so far. go get you some!
now i'm listening to dolly parton - what can i say, i'm a girl of extremes!
