Idlewild returns a summer album "Post Electric Blues"

Saturday, June 20, 2009

I love reading short reviews about new albums, like exactly DrownedInSound did on "Post Electric Blues".

They Said:
"It's the sort of album I was hoping they'd make (Noisy Alt-country REMish stuff again) rather than trying to write a rock album like the last one. Sounds like a summer album."

Believe me, it's been better previous "Make Another World".

Live mp3s: From Joni Mitchell's Miles of Aisles

Adorable "Miles of Aisles" is a 1974 double live album by Joni Mitchell backed by the L.A. Express, recorded on the Court and Spark tour.

It reached #2 on the charts and became one of her biggest-selling records. And its "Blue" remains as the best performance in my head!!!

mp3s:
Blue
Carey
Big Yellow Taxi

90s Music: The Replacements "Kiss Me on the Bus", "I Will Dare" and "Unsatisfied"

Don't need to say much, here comes the best band of the 90s.

Short Bio:
The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1979. The band was composed of guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bassist Tommy Stinson, and drummer Chris Mars for most of their career. Following their critically acclaimed 1984 album Let It Be, the band signed to Sire Records and became one of the first American underground rock bands to sign to a major record label. After Bob Stinson was fired in 1986, the band experienced several line-up changes; Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist and Steve Foley replaced Chris Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over their creative output. The group disbanded in 1991, with the members ultimately pursuing various projects. The Replacements never experienced any significant commercial success but have influenced a variety of alternative rock acts.

Songs to Download:

So 80s: David Sylvian - Weathered Wall

Brilliant Trees is an eclectic affair fusing funk, jazz, and ambient. And one of the best tracks, "Weathered Wall," absolutely deserves a mention on The Modern Music blog.

I love picking some perfect songs from past and present. I hope you like David Sylvian's amazing voice and night atmosphere. Brian Eno also appears as collaborator with the woozy trumpet.

Awesome Deal on Fanfarlo's New Album 'Reservoir'

Friday, June 19, 2009

I’ve known about the band Fanfarlo for maybe a month. I’d listened to only a few of their songs, but what I heard was so good I made a mental note to seek out more someday. So when I heard through the grapevine that the band was basically giving away their entire album Reservoir, plus bonus tracks, for only one dollar, I jumped on it quick. Try and name one thing you can get for one dollar these days, and if you can even come up with anything I can guarantee it won’t be as good as this! Even if you don't know you're going to like it, what harm can there be in dropping one dollar for 15 songs? Get it while you can, the offer is only good until July 4th.

Download the entire album for $1! Get it here: http://www.fanfarlo.com/
