(Update: It’s been brought to my attention that some people aren’t sure how to stream the songs while reading. Um. Click the little “play” icon next to the song name. Easy, huh?) (Second Update: Song links for below entry have now expired) I used to be in a band in South Africa. More about [...]
Ok. So I’m working on a post (or series of posts, not sure yet), which is becoming huge, involving around 30 artists so far. It might take me a few days to get all of this information sorted into something slightly passing as manageable… so, in the meantime, for your auditory and visual pleasure, I [...]
Ohad Rein is one of those people who simply exemplifies music. You know the type I mean. That person you know who seems to be living their life according to a different song. Whose every movement seems to be a chord adding to the inevitable crescendo. Everyone knows someone like Ohad. That doesn’t make it any less [...]
Those poor ripped-off artists. Remember when every other post here was about artists allowing digital downloads of their works, for however much you wanted to pay? There have been mixed reports as to how some of those experiments have been going. Did you donate any money for Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” when it came out? No? Feel guilty? Then [...]
So, as you can see, the blog has finally been changed over to it’s own domain. Normal posting will resume from next week, but for now I wanted to drop a quick “thank you” line to two people who were extremely helpful in the process: Meg at Blogpond for her willingness to respond to a completely [...]
So 2007 is nearly over, and there’s one artist who I feel should have made a bigger splash this year – Brett Dennen. This kid brought the goods with his 2006 album, “So Much More”, but surprisingly his music is only now beginning to reach a larger audience, thanks to an opening slot for John Mayer. 2008 [...]
Holy. Crap. State Radio are coming out to Australia. Some of you may know my… well… slight obsession with the band Dispatch. Seeing as I wasn’t able to make it to their “reunion” Zimbabwe benefit-gig, I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I would have to travel State-side to see either Pete Francis, Braddigan, [...]
Ok, so this is something we’ve been excited about for a while, but Gibson have released some new pics of their “Robotic Guitar”. No longer must tone-deaf guitar players drown in a sea of irony; the Robot Guitar can tune itself with a simple push of a button. Release date has been slated as the 7th [...]
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.
