Breaking Pangaea - Live at WXPN

Breaking Pangaea - Live at WXPN
Sort of by request. I've already said more than enough great things about this band. Here's another live set, but this one has more songs.

Falling Sickness - Because the World Has Failed Us Both

Falling Sickness - Because the World Has Failed Us Both
You probably remember this band from early Hopeless Records compilations. Kinda punk, kinda ska.

Bill Evans - Everybody Digs Bill Evans

Bill Evans - Everybody Digs Bill Evans
Everyone knows that heroin addicts can make awesome music. Bill Evans was doing that back in the 50s. One of the most influential jazz pianists of all time.

Engine Down - To Bury Within The Sound

Engine Down - To Bury Within The Sound
RVA indie rock. You should probably already know about this band. I posted a bunch of Denali recently, and they're from that same family tree.

Embrace - Embrace

Embrace - Embrace
While Minor Threat is the Ian band I respect the most, I find myself most drawn to Embrace musically. Along with Rites of Spring, these guys typify the Rev Summer/harDCore sound of the early to mid-80s.

The Color Fred - Domestic Disturbance Acoustic Set
A few years ago Fred Mascherino (Breaking Pangaea, Terrible Things, Taking Back Sunday, etc) did a solo set for Domestic Disturbance. He does a bunch of songs from The Color Fred (his band at the time), as well as a song each from Brody and Breaking Pangaea.

Tuesday - Demos

Tuesday - Demos
Tuesday was a short-lived indie/pop punk band fronted by Dan from Alkaline Trio. Their LP was called Freewheelin and I probably already uploaded it. These are some rough demos.

The Anniversary - Designing a Nervous Breakdown

The Anniversary - Designing a Nervous Breakdown
Synthy indie-pop from Vagrant Records from the early 2000s. The first song and the fourth song are totally off the charts.

I posted The Instinct the other day, and now this is their first record. I love Maura.

Denali - The Instinct

Denali - The Instinct
If the ancient Greeks hear Denali, they'd be pretty sure Maura Davis was a siren and would be wrecking their ships everywhere. Atmospheric indie rock with beautiful vocals.

Following yesterday's great jazz "duet", I figured I'd upload another pairing of jazz greats.

Charles Bukowski - Hostage

Charles Bukowski - Hostage
When I was in college, I went through that typical early-20s Bukowski phase. I liked his poetry a lot, but never got into his novels. Here's a collection of poetry/spoken word stuff.

Footnotes - Everything Last Year

Footnotes - Everything Last Year
Recently I've gotten into the EP Summer Shit by Footnotes, who I just found out were from Philly/South Jersey. How is this band in my backyard and I've never heard of them? Great singy-shouty emo with twinkly guitars. They posted two other 7"s on their Myspace for free download as well, so listen to it. Then buy Summer Shit.

Buddy Rich and Max Roach - Rich Vs Roach
Two of the greatest jazz drummer of all time and their bands. Very unique, very influential, very awesome.

I've previously posted Departures and Landfalls from this classic midwest emo band, so hopefully you're familiar with this. You really should be, if you're not.

Weerd Science - Friends and Nervous Breakdowns
Lately I've been listening to the new Terrible Things record a lot, which this dude drummed on. He also used to drum in Coheed and Cambria. This is his white-boy rap album. I'll be honest, I forgot I had these mp3s, but since I've been listenin to the TT album, I figured I'd up it.
