So as I mentioned in a past post, Brett Dennen and Amiestreet have teamed up to make the world a better place with some charity. It’s unfortunate that this happened while I was away on holiday, as by the time you read this post, you will only have a few hours left to get in [...]
Another short post today, but Myspace has finally put up their “Front to Back… Ben Folds Five Reunion” videos that “the other Matt” and I were so excited about. I can’t seem to access the Myspace videos myself (not sure if it’s only available to US viewers?), but thankfully someone is dutifully uploading them on youtube [...]
Short note… but Cardinals fans can now stream the entire “Cardinology” album here. All in all, I’m actually loving it, although some reviews haven’t been as positive. Give it a listen and make up your own mind. If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!
Burgo – Mele Cascade, Vanuatu … and it was great. Although we were extremely unlucky with weather (ie. it rained every. single. day. except for one day, which was overcast), it was still a wonderful holiday filled with wonderful people. I’ll have an update with more details over on my personal blog at Matt-Burgess.com sometime within [...]
Iririki Island. Posting will be, well… non-existent over the next week and a half, as I go to spend some quality time in Vanuatu on Iririki island. Be good all.

Quick round-up of things that caught my eye this week… - New discovery to my blog-reading habits, the very promising Brontosaur.us serves us up a very nice taste of Golden Bones, with the tune, “The Cost of Comfort”. It’s a killer track, and if Brontosaur.us keeps exposing me to sounds like that, it will easily become [...]
I’m quite late to the party on these guys, having first read about The Sand Band way back in August on that awesomeness of music blogs, Some Velvet Blog. I filed away the band for listening at a later date, and it somehow slipped between the cracks… until now.
Short note today… but just wanted to let everyone know that The Avett Brothers have released their new video for single “Murder in The City” (featured in this post back here)… and it’s a killer video (no pun intended). Beautifully filmed, like the song itself, the video is full of quiet moments. Watch it below.
Just so that everyone knows, the mp3s posted here are simply for sampling purposes; like giving you your first hit of something for free. If you like the tunes, then buy the CDs, go to concerts, support the music and the artist. As such, all mp3's will only be available for a limited time before being taken down. To all labels who may have a problem with this, I'm giving YOUR clients more exposure. Think about that. That being said, if you represent an artist that is featured on this blog, and would prefer that an mp3 is removed, then please email me at matthew.edward.burgess [at] gmail.com, and I'll be sure to remove the file immediately.
