Free mp3 Last.fm fix

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Last.fm serves up free mp3s, and I’ve said so before on other pages. When it first came out there was no search feature and you only knew if you landed on their page or crafted a special heavy google search with advanced operators. Ashlee Simpson’s album was up for a week a long time ago. [...]

Nice Nusic Selections by Podcast

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

KEXP delivers for all a wonderful podcast for the Song of the Day with links to all the previous days in case you missed the download. These are normal mp3s that can be automatically setup for itunes or viewed in Firefox for manual saving. A few days ago I found this and was pleasantly relieved [...]

Concert Calender + free mp3s = good idea.

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Podbop has rolled out with a new way of bringing music to you. They have a list of artists on tour with mostly full length samples of what they sound like. You can also see who is coming into your town and grab a free track or two before you decide to go to the [...]

Patriotic, Christmas, and Other Tracks from US Air Force

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

From my previous post I found “Miserlou” played by the Air Force. I managed to find some others that are pretty interesting. Some for the Christmas season, some patriotic songs, and a few hymns and ceremonials. Usually everything produced by the government is public domain, but things become tricky if they borrowed or used copyright [...]

Misirlou’s Origins as Folk Song

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Most people know the guitar driven riff of “Misirlou” from Pulp Fiction, and others know it as being a song played by all the hot surf bands with Dick Dale being the first in the wave of ’60s bands. The truth is it goes way back at least to the 1920s. Michalis Patrinos is said [...]

Mp3tag Actions Empower Your Digital Collection

Friday, October 19th, 2007

There are times when I persist in the most random things. Sometimes it’s productive; other times it betters my life in no significant way. What I’m about to show you is very handy, but the amount I spent tinkering on it didn’t save me too much effort. Well, it actually did shape up 20,000 of [...]

More Early Folk + Jazz Music

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

About 20 mp3s are offered at Tuneresource.com supplying ancient folk, jazz, and blues before your day. If you can get past the annoying flash sound that loads on every page, you should see downward on the page (below the search box in the center) a drop down menu titled Free MP3 Tunes! with jazz and [...]

Elliott Smith: Demos + B-sides

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

A friend of mine pointed me to a site of underground songs of Elliott Smith. As some unreleased tracks later came out on official products, some other rarities have been cut to stay out of RIAA’s way. There is a heaping helping of mp3s waiting for enthusiasts of this guy all for free. I admit [...]

Songs of Paul Levinson

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

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]

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

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” [...]
