Why haven't we posted this already? Oh yeah. We're lazy cunts. That's the one. Anyhoo, if you don't know Lights already, you should, because she is incredibly awesome synth pop that is what she is. GRAMMAR, YOU HAVE BEEN R4P3D. She said it best when she described how she writes songs. "When I write songs I think about how my music makes people feel, and I hope that when it goes into your ears you feel happy. Not sexy happy but apple pie happy." So yeah. Thar ye be.

So it took me long enough right? Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of Brody Dalle's work, so this is no exception. It's definitely a departure from The Distillers, and you can for sure here her husband's influence on her music (Joshua Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age). Well if you like very bad ass rock and roll tunes, then here's a solid download. OH! I should also mention that this is a completely independant self release, meaning all the money made off this goes back into their band. So in case you want to be a good person, go here and buy it, it has all the songs, hq artwork, and the music video for Ghetto Love. . Spinnerette - Ghetto Love EP [MP3]- Ghetto Love

Yes another file dump. Haha. This one is filled with a bunch of really great gosh darn tracks. As in, listen to them over and over and over and not get sick of them tracks. Yes, it's basically the best file dump evarz.
1. Patrick Stump, Brendon Urie, Travis McCoy, Cee-Lo, Janelle Monae - Open Happiness [MP3]
Excuse me while I coo over the greatness of this track. I've had it in my head ALL day and I'm okay with that. I can literally listen to this over and over and over and it's as good as the first time I heard it. It's LITERALLY the happiest thing I've heard in like, evarz.
2. William Beckett - Heartbeats (The Knife Cover) [MP3]Why thank you Strike Gently for ripping this audio. William Beckett did a video of himself covering this song acoustically, and geeeeeeeeez is it pretty. The original of this song is obv. hauntingly beautiful, as it is The Knife, but this is just a pretty little acoustic diddy that can't help but make you smile. Dig eet.
3. Jack's Mannequin - The Mixed Tape (Piano Version Live) [MP3]The Mixed Tape is a fucking great song. This is an even better version, IMO. I have actually been meaning to stick this in a file dump since I started this blog, but I just haven't been able to put one together that I felt really suits this song until now. It's the kind of song where you need to close your eyes just to absorb how damn lovely it is.
4. Dustin Kensrue - Creep (Radiohead Cover Live) [MP3]Another track I've been waiting to share for awhile. Creep is arguably the most recognizable Radiohead song, and for good reason. Dustin Kensrue, being the immense talent that he is, delivers the goods in this cover. It's as haunting and beautiful as the original, and gives me the same shivers. It's also a pretty damn good live rip.
Also known as The Big Faggy File Dump. There are only 3 songs in this one, and you should be glad. These are some pretty ridiculous tracks. Hahaaaaa.
1. Sonny - Mona [MP3]
Hey remember when Sonny made good music? Yeah! Back when From First To Last were somewhat relevant? Yeah that was a long time ago. Now he's got this solo project, and it kinda sounds like Chris Crocker "music" to me. Emo goes pop fucking TRAINWRECK. Download for lulz. 2. Scarlett Johansson - Last Goodbye (Jeff Buckley Cover) [MP3]ScarJo rapes and kills a great and classic Jeff Buckley song. Actually it's not that horrific. She actually has a pretty good voice. It obviously comes nowhere even near the shadow of the original, but its not bad. Too bad she's not a legitamite artist and only does weird ScarJo covers of classic alternative songs. 3. Yellowcard - High And Dry (Radiohead Cover) [MP3]Also not totally horrific. But this is still the Ocean Avenue dudes. The dudes with the violin and the lead singer who cried when they won a VMA. Those dudes. Thus by default this is totally gay. And thus I love it.
So in honour of one of the greatest pop-punk bands ever doing the good and right thing by getting back together for an album and tour, I present ye with their first EP. Or demo. Whatever. Check out that completely fucking awesome hand drawn cassette tape artwork. Nice. So here it is, before they were Blink 182. And copyright Fags In The Wilderness. And holy crap crow it just dawned on me what a crappy name Blink 182 is. Hahaha. Anyways. LONG LIVE BLINK 182! For real this time. Srsly.

So for my very first post of the year I thought I'd put up something extra special. So hurr it is! Alexisonfire's Math Sheet demos! It's quality is awesomely bad but I think there's most definitely a special novelty to having this in your audio library. If you're an AOF fan, this is a must. If you're not or you haven't heard them before, skip it... at least until you realize they pretty much own life.
. Alexisonfire - Math Sheet Demos [MP3]- Counterparts And Number Them
- Little Girls Pointing And Laughing
- The Philosophical Significance Of Shooting My Sister In The Face-An Essay By James Secord
A groundbreaking new mashup that really must be heard to be believed... unofficial indie release.
