GO AWAY FOR X-MAS

Posted on December 13th, 2009 by ekko

A few Christmas shout outs today!

Cover Me is tweeting a Christmas cover every day for each of the 25 days before the big day!

Cover Lay Down covered some snow songs.

Suburban Sprawl has a shitload of free Santa tunes here, like this Holiday classic: Santa Just Crashed Into My House and He’s Drunk as Fuck-Arranged Marriage.

And finally, with the purchase of certain featured new releases at independent record stores, you will receive a free RED Best of 2009 sampler CD. The albums that come with the sampler aren’t independent, but some of them are pretty good. They include Cage The Elephant, Passion Pit, Phish, Phoenix, and The White Rabbits (4th best album of the year!). The sampler isn’t new stuff, it’s stuff from some of 2009 albums. Still, it’s free, so buy someone White Rabbits for X-Mas and keep the sampler for yourself!

BONUS: One of rap’s most talented underground MCs, Elzhi, is offering a free street album, with production from the likes of Black Milk and others.  Go here for details.  Here’s a sample:

  • 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.
