More Early Folk + Jazz Music

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… Continue reading More Early Folk + Jazz Music

Elliott Smith: Demos + B-sides

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… Continue reading Elliott Smith: Demos + B-sides

WFMU and pre-war music

I’m a sucker for old music. It can be folk. It can be blues. It can be gospel. I’m not too picky, although I can get tired of Billy Murry, acoustic era skits, and unoriginal popular oldies. WFMU is a diverse radio station that also delivers free podcasts through the internet. Mp3s are available for… Continue reading WFMU and pre-war music

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… Continue reading Songs of Paul Levinson

Obscure CDs: Drenched by Miracle Legion

Remember the Music From the Adventures of Pete & Pete? I sure do. While I like the Nickelodeon show, the music stands on its own. The mastermind behind the theme song is Mark Mulcahy. I’m sure you never heard of him (unless you searched for him specifically). Due to a missing member, they renamed Miracle… Continue reading Obscure CDs: Drenched by Miracle Legion

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”… Continue reading Jenny, I Got Your Number [mp3s inside]

Unawarer’s Guide to Paul Westerberg

Yes, I just invented a word, unawarer: n. a person who is unaware or not familiar. And this here is a guide, not a tour guide, but a textual guide to spread the thought-provoking butter that is Paul Westerberg and the musical bread that was The Replacements. If you have glanced over my site you’d… Continue reading Unawarer’s Guide to Paul Westerberg

iTunes Custom Sorting for Power Users

Forgive my use of the words “power users.” I don’t write exclusively for the advanced. I tend to write simplistically even when the task is a bit in-depth. This one is actually pretty easy (but explaining the default sorting abilities is a nightmare). I’m using 7.0.2 I believe, so if you are the type who… Continue reading iTunes Custom Sorting for Power Users

Clever Shop-hacking: Save on Amazon.com

I have been using Amazon heavily lately to expand my music collection, catch up on my reading, get textbooks, and getting a DVD [Come Feel Me Tremble] that I’ve been wanting for a while. If you look under the grill of Amazon.com, you can hack your spending techniques and get the best value. Buy used… Continue reading Clever Shop-hacking: Save on Amazon.com

There is no “Next Bob Dylan”…

The fellow who arose into the music world in the 1960s and is still kicking cannot be duplicated, cloned, or replaced. There can be no replacements, but there can be The Replacements. The ‘Mats (as the band is nicknamed) have little in common with Dylan, but there are some resembling characteristics of its lead singer… Continue reading There is no “Next Bob Dylan”…
