noah and the whale are super good, thanks for the introduction!

I appreciate what you're doing, but it would be nice to include a link to the source where you got the file. Leeching is kind of rude.

But yeah, Computer vs. Banjo does rock.

Thanks for your input Skittle & yes - I agree. It might take a few days but I'll get this resolved.

What's Good - March '07 (with Videos!)

Post a Comment

Another month has flown by and it's time again for my favorite post - "What's Good".

At the beginning of each month I sort through all the CDs & emails that get sent to me (and yes, I listen to everything) and put together this list of some new sounds from artists from all over that we haven't featured yet on the site but we think are worth checking out. Thanks for all of the CDs & recommendations I received this month everyone. Of course I can't post everything at once, but here's a bunch I though you all might enjoy (below in no particular order).

Next up for me is South by Southwest (more on that this weekend). If anyone needs a photographer or has any ideas for collaboration I'm always looking for work so shoot me an email.

Thanks Nick. The list comes from a combination of word of mouth recommendations, promos, compilations, zines, blogs, myspace invites, etc. I try to listen to everything that comes my way, do some research and filter what I find. I'll work on the streaming for next month, that's a good idea.
