LOADS OF FUN STUFF!

Posted on May 5th, 2010 by ekko

Here’s four great reasons to have ears:

1.  Young Jeezy-Trap of Die volume 2.  The first Jeezy “Trap or Die” was probably one of the greatest mixtapes of all time.  Cop the sequel here.  Thanks to 2dopeboyz.

2. And while you’re listening to mixtapes, Nappy Roots are back. They’re an uneven group, but I bet there’s at least a few cool tunes on their new mixape titled, “Nappy University.” Get it here from mediafire.

3. Regular readers know I’m a huge fan of the Clash. Haven’t posted on them in a looooong time. Shame on me. But Cover Me is atoning for my sins, posting covers of every song on the brilliant London Calling album. Of course, none are as good as the originals, but that really isn’t the point, is it?

4. And on the completely opposite of the last post tip, Cover Lay Down offers folky covers of show tunes!

  1. The Sandinista! Project is also pretty cool – lots of alt-country subversion included; it figures that the Mekons love them some Clash.

  • 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.
