Songs of Paul Levinson
So here’s a man who does a little of everything. He’s a writer, an instructor, and a musician. I don’t know much about him, but I’d imagine he shares a interest in a broad range of things like me. He is featured in many places in the media, yet I never heard his name. I...
Jenny, I Got Your Number [mp3s inside]
Two-hit wonders, Tommy Tutone, have a song that is just chock full of power pop melody- 867-5309. I happened to by chance stumble on 16 acceptable high-quality mp3s directly from the band website. (The site is in flash, so be warned.) Navigate to the Songs, then browse the albums for downloads. Lo and behold “Jenny”...
Free MySpace Music that is Actually Downloadable
MySpace is a pain in the music if you are just looking to download and keep the songs. First off, there is no way to tell if someone has a downloadable song unless you pay attention to the shade of the link. Dark gray means it’s not available and black means it is enabled. This...
Walking with The Walkmen
Even after appearing on The OC TV program in 2004, The Walkmen are a band that that have succeeded in not receiving much popularity. They play a “new” old sound almost like the Strokes, but they incorporate some of the great sound of Bob Dylan and the Velvet Underground. They borrow the Dylanized mannerisms and...
Kim Taylor’s “I Feel Like a Fading Light”
It’s been at least a year since I first heard the song “I Feel Like a Fading Light” by Kim Taylor. I originally heard a demo of the song on her website and fell for the minimal and raw sound. I totally forgot about her and was thinking about the song for some random reason....

Free CD from a British Beer Co.
In no way am I endorsing drinking alcohol or moving to the UK, but I stumbled on an oddball freebie from Bass.com that will send a Neo-British Invasion double-disc (2xCD) if you are capable of legally drinking (21+ and don’t live in TX or CA). No shipping cost or anything. Although this might not be...
Upgrade your iPod with Rockbox
ROCKbox is open source firmware that can be dual-booted (at least with my 5th generation iPod) with the original iPod system so you don’t have to erase all your music by overwriting and re-transferring all your things. And it works on many mp3 players, not just Apple. Rockbox for the 5G iPod does not manage...

Mistakes Make Music (free album)
The following is a review by the author of the album- Mistakes Make Music. Bolie Folke (his real name is undisclosed) was kind enough to let me post his biographical account of the recording below: Today I made an album ready for the public to download using the one-man-band name of Bolie Folke. It’s a...
