Hello
friends! It’s been a very busy week for me.
As John said earlier, we’re working on a redesign of
the whole website that we hope to have up and
running soon. But with all the time I’ve been
playing Pimp John’s Website, I haven’t had much time
to dig up the dirty-deets on new releases this week.
So instead, here’s a playlist for your Sunday
enjoyment. If you like what you hear, you’re
in for a special treat, because all of these songs
are pulled from albums you can download for free
(legally) online.
:Forest
Fire - I Make Windows:
I’ve been listening to this album called
Survival by the Brooklyn band Forest Fire for some time
now, and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ll let the
music do the talking for this one, so have a listen to the
first track, I Make Windows, and then go download the
album
here.
:Kid
Cudi - Cudi Get:
I don’t often post about Hip Hop, mostly
because I haven’t any idea what I’m talking about when it
comes to the whole genre, but this free mixtape from Kid
Cudi has been on the "Recently Played" for quite a while.
Us white guys will recognize the Quiet Riot lyrics that make
their way into the song throughout. Anyway, I saw a
Gorilla vs. Bear post on this the other day, so if this
isn’t way too old news for you now, and you like what you
hear, grab the whole mix tape
here.
:Patchwork
- Spaceships:
The guys over at Muzzle of Bees turned me on
to this folk singer from Madison, Wisconsin. The song
is nice and easy, with a small ensemble mixed in to support
the lyrics of Jeremiah Nelson. It’s a terrific song,
but unfortunately, I lied to you a little bit: the album
isn’t available for free yet, so hold on for a few more days
and then seek it out.
As
always, I’d encourage you to throw the artists some
money, either by Paypal or by buying another one of
their not-for-free releases. I mean, musicians
got to eat too right?
See you next week and thanks for reading.
