file sharing

does everyone on URFCKD have a torrent program?  

because sometimes it seems more efficient to just share the torrent locations, rather than taking the time to upload the album, and have you download it.  divshare is reliable, but always slow.  

ben miller often sends me links to other sites where i can grab the pre-lease albums, and thus short cutting all the uploading business.  but if no one has a torrent sharing program, this is a moot point.

and eric, where is my what.cd invite?  or does anyone have an invite to filemp3 or waffles?  i will post more music, if i can get into these sites.  btjunkie and mininova are not exhaustive.  i'm looking for a couple of new albums, can't find them and it's driving me crazy......

anyway i want to trade more music with you all, so please post yr new jams to the blog.  we're all too poor to buy all the music we want....though i definitely spend more on vinyl than i should.......

love is all.

what uninhibited dance punk would sound like if most bands in that genre rose above the cookie cutter mold.  plenty of 80s post punk/new wave flavor, without the bland posing as the next go-gos or cure.   and though they're from sweden, love is all show up the hives et al,.....these kids should be huge.

anyway, love is all is the jam.  (and in heavy rotation in my iTunes.)

i just got their album from last fall, hundred things keep me up at night.  i would've gotten it sooner but money was short.  it's awesome.   and so is their previous effort from 2006, nine times that same song.  

and as i hope to continue sharing what music i'm into...

click here to download both their albums.

handsome furs.

i could rant and rave about this side project of wolf parade, but it's not necessary.  it's as awesome as you'd expect from those quirky canadian indie kids.  

hot contender for my best of 2009 list for sure.

animal collective's new album

click here to download the new animal collective album "merriweather post pavillion"...i promise it's yr new favorite jam. 

new jams for thanksgiving

mr oizo - lamb's anger... 

reaching beyond the shadow of justice to actually challenge them for the title of best new dance album of the past couple of years.  leaning more towards a synth reinterpretation of new wave then justice's lean to disco, and at least feeling out more directions than most of the ed banger wanna-be daft punk dance crowd, this album might slowly reach up and grab a spot on my top 10 of 08 (which as i continue to sit around listening music, my top 10 may have been a bit premature).  its tracks will rest happy in a dj set between say a mstrkrft remix and a crystal castles jam, or james pants.  that electro house style seems just as much a part of the hipster dance set (please give me a better genre name here) than crunchy techno and dirty south beats.......

anyway, please everyone on the blog should listen to this.  i'll e-mail you the files if you want.  its my thanksgiving jam, or what i'll be listening after i've eaten too much turkey and drank too much beer and need something upbeat to listen to while i drive home and not fall asleep at the wheel.)
