EVERYBODY’S TALKIN . . .

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by ekko

1.  CD has updated his list of the greatest zombie songs ever, in time for Halloween.

2. It pays to browse the live music archive.  It was there that I found an EP by a band called “InHuman Project.”  It’s an interesting industrial/noise recording.  Direct download the whole thing here.

3.  I also found this cool cover by Charlotte Martin.  Obstacle #1-(Interpol cover) (direct download).

4.  Passion of the Weiss pays tribute to Dam Funk, a retro-sounding new artist.  Check out the cool hip new tunes here.

5.  “Nightmare on Seven Street” is the new mixtape by G. Malone, featuring guest spots by Game Snoop Dogg, Bow Wow, and Xzibit. He’s West Coast gangsta, and this guest roster is all guys who were a lot better 5-15 years ago . . . But this tape is pretty damn good.  Git it!

6.  The “Best Songs/Albums/Artists of the decade” lists have begun in earnest.  Some are good, some aren’t.  I was thinking of doing one myself, but I don’t think I will.  It’s way too hard to pick out 10 or 20 albums that best represent 10 years of music.

What do you guys think?  Should I do one?

7.  Tahiti 80 have a new song out for download (direct link).  I’ve got a soft spot for these cute nerds.

  1. Ah, catching up on old posts.

    i kind of hate “year end” and now “decade end” lists myself. At best, you’re hanging a flag that says “look how good my taste in music is,” at worst, you’re showing how very untrue the preceding statement is for you. Of course, we’ll probably need to put ones together for my site(s), so keep me in the loop on what you do w/ yours.

  • 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.
