My POS computer

My computer(Cyberpower PC - junk brand, you're not saving money for all the hassle) is crashing on me left and right. I am not able to upload anything, or even make a .rar file for a while, but I'll be back soon, hopefully.

Random ups...


Y△CHT - See Mystery Lights
Pretty good, I got it on suggestion from a few music blogs.



Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Alatt Született

Electronica and classic orchestral music. One of my more recent favs



The Polyamorous Affair — Bolshevik Disco

80s synth pop, boiled down and refined into this album. Wouldn't say it's great, but there are def. a few gems in here and def. worth a listen.


She & Him - Volume 1

Indie/folk/country by Zooey Deschanel(the actress) & M. Ward. very good soulful kind of music. And the covers are spot on.


P.O.S - Never Better

Another great alt-hip hop musician from Minneapolis(See P.O.S.'s lablemates "Atmosphere"), this album still has elements of punk, but not as much as his earlier albums. Lyrically and musically it's very strong. I've been listening to, and suggesting this to people, a lot recently.


Noah And The Whale - Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down

2008 debut of Noah and the Whale, wins the Award for Most Upbeat Album About Heartbreak. Great summer album, even if every song is filled with strife and heartache.

Kool Keith

Kool Keith is regarded as one of the most influential MCs of all time, from when he busted onto the scene in 84 with his crew Ultramagnetic MCs.

Critical Beatdown is widely regarded as one of the best hip-hip albums of all time, released in 1988 during the "golden age" of hip hop. However UMC seems to get lost in the shuffle amongst other golden age artists like Public Enemy, KRS-One, Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC and others.

He recorded under a number of aliases, each with their own back story and personalities.
I'll be posting his first albums recorded under the aliases Dr. Octagon and Dr. Dooom. As well as the album Critical Beatdown

Dr. Octagon is an extraterrestrial, time-traveling, gynecologist and surgeon from the planet Jupiter.
Dr. Dooom is a serial killer who has a fondness for "cannibalism, pet rats, and Flintstones vitamins" who poses as a patient to gain access to Dr. Octagon and then kills him.

I'm just going to dump the shit I've already uploaded for other people.
Save a few that I just don't want on here.
I use both MegaUpload and Mediafire, although I'm trying to use just MediaFire. If you don't know how to extract the rar files or can't figure out how, well I feel bad for you and you probably shouldn't be using the internet.
I'll try and link to each artists' Myspace(or similar) page, but honestly I can't be arsed to do it right now, so I'll leave you with these two albums and do the rest later.

First post...

I decided to start this blog because I love music and I love introducing people to new music they otherwise never would have heard of.
I won't post "the new hotness" or anything, none of my uploads will be based on the music world's reaction to an album. These are solely albums I enjoy. Some may not be loved(or even respected) by critics. And many will be new independent artists that I've discovered through the help of other blogs like this one, and file sharing sites used by artists to spread their music.
If you like what I like, cool, you should stick around.
If you don't, you should stick around and you might find something you will.
I've found it increasingly difficult to label my musical tastes by genre. Every day I'm finding new music that I like that only a year ago I would have said I "hated"
