RARITIES BY THE BEST BANDS OF 2008-Part One

Posted on December 21st, 2008 by ekko

Here begins a series I’ll continue until the end of the year: Rare tracks by bands who I picked as being the best of this year (see “2008-Best” tab at the top of this site). You need to buy their records but, even if you do, you won’t find these cuts on them.

Dig it.

LES Artistes (grahm zilla remix)-Santogold (#3, Best album)

I’m On Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover)-The Gaslight Anthem (#6, Best album)

She Spitzer Swallows-AC with Client Number 9. If there were a best political single, this would surely be a candidate, recounting the Elliot Spitzer scandal with the appropriate level of humor . . . And crudeness. (#10, Best mixtape)

Joe Budden Dis-Jay-Z (#3, Best mixtape)

Hang Me Out To Dry (Cold War Kids Cover)-Kate Nash (#14, Best album)

  • Berkeley Place is also 6 blocks of Brooklyn real estate, emerging from Sackett St. and ending at Banana Hill, a small park that grows a foot each year from dog shit and the corpses of dead rats. Though its residents have gotten wealthier over the decades, Berkeley Place still houses folks of all backgrounds with interests in, well, everything.
  • WHAT THE HELL GOES ON HERE? Ekko reviews independent music, comic books, and whatever else interests him.
  • WHAT THE HELL IS INDIE MUSIC? An independent record label (or indie record label) is a record label operating without the funding of or outside the organizations of the major record labels. - Wikipedia.org That means they ain't in the RIAA, dude.

    HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

    • Email me
      for the specifics but, basically:
    • I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
    • With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
    • I don't listen to streams.
    • I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
    • I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
    • Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
