. . . AND SPEAKING OF . . . (A shout-out post)

Posted on January 14th, 2009 by ekko

Cover Me has the “Best of 2008 Again”, which is a post of bands covering songs from albums that made Hype Machine’s Best of 2008 list.  Including Hot Chip covering Vampire Weekend!  Check it out here

And speaking of covers, one of the best places to go is Buffetlibre, who released an awesome ’80s collection last year called “Buffetlibre.”  Well, go get the sequel, Buffetlibre2!  It features Au Revoir Simone covering ELO and Division Day covering Japan, among many others!

And speaking of the Best of 2008, Amy posted a few hot tunes you might have missed from albums that weren’t as good as the singles . . .

And still speaking of the Best of 2008, Ryan posted a few observations about The Most Overrated Band Of The Year.  And I thought I was the only one who didn’t “get” Fleet Foxes . . .

And speaking of getting things, did you all get my “Guilty Pleasure of the Day” post a few days ago?  Should I do it again?

Speaking of talking about myself, I wrote about Blind Pilot about a month ago, telling you all that they should have been on my best of 2008 list.  Turns out, I’m not the only one who feels that way.  I’m so sorry I didn’t hear them before I made my list . . .

And speaking of disappointment, my favorite blogger discovered a “new” Brother Ali comp, but the ziplink was down!  You can still get a few of the songs there, though.

And I’m not speaking anymore.  For now.

  • FOLLOW ME ON TUMBLR http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/berkeleyplace WHAT THE HELL IS BERKELEY PLACE? "Berkeley Place" has been a blog since 2000.
  • 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.
