Just Created This Blog

Hi, I just created this blog. I want to use this as an mp3 blog to spread some good music around. I will include links to places where you can purchase the artists' album(s). Some of the following songs I've just discovered and some are just ones I've been listening to over and over lately.

• The Polyphonic Spree - Little Boxes
• Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Satan Said Dance
• Squirrel Nut Zippers - Wash Jones
• Page France - Elephant
• Of Montreal - Oslo In The Summertime

"Oslo In The Summertime" and "Satan Said Dance" are two dancey songs. They have a cool vibe of energy patched with various sounds and electronic processing. "Elephant" is a folk song with an interesting twist. The chord progression is not a usual one of folk music, while keeping true to the vocal patterns found in other Page France songs. The instruments varry from acoustic guitar, to tambourine, to overdriven bass guitar. "Little Boxes" is a song set in 3/4 with a kind of voyage rhythm and driven by vocals and horns. The lyrics, I think, are about people who are products of their enviornments. "Wash Jones" is a retro swing song that keeps a bopping mood while bringing your imagination into the 1920s or 30s. All these songs are unique and should be heard. If you enjoy these songs then visit these blog in the future for more music along these lines.

You can purchase The Inevitable from CdConnection for cheap. I think you have to register an account with them. Some Loud Thunder can be purchased at here. This is the store that is linked on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's website. You can buy Islands' album Return To The Sea from Amazon. Albums by The Polyphonic Spree can be found there as well. You can purchase Hello, Dear Wind by Page France from their record label.
