I would say http://www.mp3it.com/ which has lots of random mp3s from many San Diego based bands but looks like the download script is currently broken. I believe it was run by the ex drummer from Thingy.

snyprmag posted:Binary Star's Masters of the Universe Myanmar Future Generations is an anonymous group of musicians making hip-hop against the Myanmar/Burma military junta. It's all in Burmese so I have no idea what they're saying, but some of it is pretty good. Listen to Angel of Peace for instance.

To add on to the Bomb the Music Industry! idea, their sole member has started up a record label dedicated to free sharing of music. It's called Quote Unquote Records and right now there's one rock album up for free download by The Matt Kurz One, who plays five instruments simultaneously. At 11PM EST tonight, the new Bomb the Music Industry! album will be up for free download as well.

Elephant 6 has been already mentioned, but if you go to Of Montreal's website you'll find this: http://www.ofmontreal.net/audiolounge.html, where you can download covers of The Shins and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. A whopping 24 of their tracks can be downloaded for free, that's like a double album.

Here are two links to MP3s from my favorite songwriter of all time: http://robertpollard.net/music.html http://www.gbv.com/multimp3.html My recommendations? Short of saying "all of it, and then buying every album Bob/GBV ever released"... First link: "Death of the Party", "Dancing Girls & Dancing Men", "Things I Will Keep (Demo)", "Look at Your Life" Second link: "Everybody Thinks I'm a Raincloud (When I'm Not Looking)", "I'll Replace You With Machines (Acoustic)", "Choking Tara (Creamy Version)", "Sensational Gravity Boy", "Big School"

I think that the following would be awesome: A two week long contest to make a totally free mix CD within NMD. The entries would either be compiled into a zip folder and hosted somewhere free, or listed link by link in a list format. There would be a 30-35 min-max. There could be a theme (rainy day, beach barbeque, rear end shakin'), and contestants could be required to write a description and provide cover art. The best 4 or 5 could be compiled and hosted, and then have a forum wide vote in GBS. Any mods have opinions on this?

Tree Limbz posted:http://www.m-base.org/sounds.html For those that don't know: this is all music by Steve Coleman, a very innovative saxophonist who has a back catalog full of albums that range from the transcendent to some of the worst poo poo you'll ever hear. His one-time cohort, Greg Osby, has far more consistent recordings on his website, http://www.gregosby.com/ There's a ludicrous amount of live recordings up here, some of which are better than most of his albums. you can get some really neat live recordings from rudresh mahanthappa ( https://www.rudreshm.com ) and steve lehman ( https://www.stevelehman.com ) as well as tracks from their albums. http://www.upbeat.com/lieb/private.htm has some of dave liebm an's live stuff, much of which is very neat. http://www.drummerworld.com has short clips of very many drummers/solos/whatever.

Check out John Vanderslice's website. You can download the entirety of his first album, sample tracks from all the others, and a bunch of live recordings & remixes. And be sure to follow the "MK Ultra mp3s" link, because it takes you to his old band's website, from which you can download all three of their albums too.

http://3hive.com/ is pretty cool. They search the web for cool bands/artists offering free mp3s on their site and do a little write up and link to the files. They also stream the files and there's a fairly infrequent podcast which is also very good.

Scorched Earth Tactics SET was introduced to me in this thread. They have everything they've recorded (which isn't that much, unfortunately) up for download. Their reasoning is that, at the level they're at right now, exposure is worth more than sales. I don't know how to describe their sound other than saying that it's brutal, tight, technically brilliant metal. I highly suggest signing up for their email list, which gets you access to another promo, because the first song on the promo is my favorite, and the fourth track is a Sepultura cover. Also, if for nothing else, "I'm Dreaming Of A Grind Christmas" is the best 40 seconds of Christmas music I've ever heard. And if Metal isn't your thing, partially-goon-run Comfort Stand Recordings is an enormous source of free music (though they've stopped adding any new music.)

My friend has a pretty good band based out of Chicago called All Things Lucid. They just put out a sample EP with some alternate versions of their normal line up. Normally you'd only be able to get it at shows, but they let me rip it for you guys. It's an alt-country-folk-rock-blues band. Give it a listen and kill my bandwidth here. Hey, it's free.

I post nearly all of my work online for free. I'd rather people listen to it than make money off of it. It is in a pretty tight niche, as far as sound goes, so it isn't like I'd ever sell a ton. It does seem to hold up well to critical review. I'd love for people here to check it out. It is largely ambient and soundscape stuff: Life Toward Twilight *Edit to add more: 9.38khz has some great 8-bit albums for free download. Highly recommended. Saskrotch video game breaks. Good stuff. Catch his live set if you can. Minibosses 8-bit Nintendo covers. I assume most people have heard them by now if they are interested in this sort of thing. But if not, the Megaman 2 track is a must download. Webbedhand Records one of my more favorite "net labels". Mostly abstract, experimental and ambient. Some of it is quite amazing if you are into that sort of thing. obsequious fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Jun 27, 2006 |
