Zoot Sims & Joe Pass - Blues for Two

Hi, it's been a while, all 0 of you reading this. This is a nice little album by saxophonist Zoot Sims and guitarist Joe Pass. It ranges from bebop to loungey-type music. It's omega chill, and you'll love feeling extra classy whilst listening to it. Poor Butterfly is a favourite. So is Remember, and Dindi, and all of them. Get it (in 320, which is like the blu-ray of mp3s) here.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. here's the first song in delicious non-corrupt mp3.

Have A Nice Life - Time of Land


HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS THE BEST SATURDAY NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY MORNING IN MONTHS.

About Time of Land by HAVE A NICE LIFE
Time of Land is the name of an E.P. we kind of fell into while working on our next full-length album. It was sold in physical form only once: at our first show ever, at The Stone in NYC. About 50 tapes were sold that night.

Now, the E.P. is available for free to everyone who couldn't make it to the show, in digital form. Thank you very much, to everyone, for your continued and completely overwhelming support for us, our label, and our music. It is deeply, deeply appreciated.

If You Would Like To Support The Band Or Know More
www.enemieslist.net is our self-run, self-financed record label. We put out records by bands that record themselves. We think the music is really, really good. Check out the stuff we have available. Sign up for our very-sporadic newsletter. We think you'll probably like it.

In conclusion: Please download the record. Send it to your friends. Post it places. Review it. Tell us what you think.

Thanks,
HAVE A NICE LIFE

SNATCH IT HERE

Took me literally 3 whole minutes to calm myself down and correctly fill in the username and pw on the Blogspot login page. I love it when excitement takes over my train of thoughts.

First listen: I love this. Absolutely love it. Last track makes a great closer for this EP. They're just really pro at closings, aren't they? And droneeeeee. Drone everywhereeeeee. <3 I have no other coherent things to say. Just please do yourself a favour and listen to it.

Grammatics - s/t

An all-time favourite of mine. Grammatics are a British pop rock band, and I know exactly what goes through your minds right now, and I can assure that you are wrong. None of that generic or bland sound of pop-rock going on in this album. Haunting and beautiful vocal of Owen Brinley, his engaging lyrics and enchanting cello playing are all you will get from this debut album.

Listen here.

Acid Witch - Witchtanic Hellucinations

First thing that popped into my mind upon my first listening of this album was: "Where the fuck have I been all my life?". I am so late to the party, but this is seriously an essential album to listen to, whether you're into doom and death metal or only have a little interest.

Soooo.. delicious and heavy.

Also, next time (if ever) I'm having/going to a Hallowe'en party, this shit will go straight on the top of the music playlist. The whole album will be on repeat, too.

WITCH. TANIC.
HEEEELLLLUCINAAAAAAAAAAAATIONS.

Lifelover - Dekadens

Here you go, something not so painfully entry-level post from me. Firstly I gotta say, I am still new to the whole metal and its sub-genres in general, but it didn't take long for this EP to catch my attention. It is supposed to be depressive black metal, but most of the lyrics are in Swedish so ¯\(°_o)/¯.

Nevertheless, it's really enjoyable. Listen here.

Wutang Vs. The Beatles


Remixed by Tom Caruana, It generally has samples of covers, which is kind of misleading. The actual songs themselves are really good, and he manages to keep the flow of both songs.

Download or stream it here (it's free!)

A Place to Bury Strangers - Exploding Head

Fuck yes, this second full length from APTBS kicks ass! If you've ever listened to their debut before and thought nothing could get any louder than that, you were wrong. So wrong. Exploding Head will literally split your ears off with more noise explosions and intense distortions (played in full volume, of course). My personal favourite is the track Deadbeat, can't ever get enough of the catchy beat. Also highly recommended if you're a fan of The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy.

The loudest band of New York's best, get it here.

Frank Zappa - Make a Jazz Noise Here

Well, I think this album might be old hat for some of you. It's a classic. The perfect mix between jazz and rock, some of the most SCORCHING guitar solos (oh, and xylophones) ever heard. This album is not one to pass up. I am only posting the first disc, but I highly recommend the second as well, as it has some groovy-azz songs to jam out 2 wit ya boiiz.

(a personal favourite is "Black Napkins")

Link.

I Hate Myself - 10 Songs

A true tear-jerker and heart-wrenching album. None of that bullshit alternative emo punk rock whatever stuff 13-year-olds nowadays listen to. Name of the band might put you off a bit, but 10 Songs is guaranteed to leave you weeping in your little corner and make you want to rip your heart and soul apart. Just listen to To a Husband at War and call me if you didn't at least sob upon hearing the lyrics. (Actually, if you didn't, you're probably just a heartless bastard.. in that case, never call me.)

If I could only choose one album to bawl my eyes out to, it's a no brainer, Sir.

Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness

Starting my music blog cyber-life with posting one of my favourite albums of all time. Deathconsciousness was 2008 AOTY for many music lovers 'round the globe, too bad I only discovered it a year later. It's really hard to pin exact labels/genres on these guys, their sound is one of a kind. Beautiful mixture of drone, post-rock, shoegaze and even post-punk.

While you chill back, in your room or somewhere peaceful in the middle of the night, this is that one album you can count on as a great companion.

If you haven't got it already, grab it here.

Halfby - Side Farmers


This is some great Big Beat/Country/Ska. It's bound to put you in a good mood.
