Caucusing for Good New Music

What fun! The Democrats are kicking butt in Iowa, and I've rediscovered the joys of IODA Promonet, which allows bloggers such as myself to sample and share new tracks.

In browsing through the latest offerings by the service, I saw a number of songs from acts which I've only heard about and not actually heard. Nice to hear (literally) that they deserve the buzz - as Sam I Am would say, try them, try them and you'll see.

Panda Bear
"Comfy In Nautica" (mp3)
from "Person Pitch"
(Paw Tracks)
Buy at Napster


Beirut
"A Sunday Smile" (mp3)
from "The Flying Club Cup"
(Ba Da Bing!)
Buy at Napster


King of Prussia
"Misadventures of the Campaign Kids" (mp3) from "Save the Scene"
(Kindercore)
Buy at eMusic or Buy at Amazon


I liked the King of Prussia song so much, in fact, that when I saw it was available on emusic, I hopped on over and bought the whole thing. So that adds to the O/CD Tally.
1. KING Of PRUSSIA - Save the Scene (Kindercore)
BTW, it comes out next Tuesday (Jan. 8) but Amazon (and presumably the other online services) will sell you the download now.


Now here's the trick - Mike Huckabee seems like a nice guy, but I disagree with him on some big issues. I don't want him to be President, but he's the only GOP canidate that doesn't frighten me. Unlike our current Theologian in Chief, Huckabee doesn't demonize those who think otherwise and seems sincere rather than calculating in his compassion. Which makes him all the more dangerous, I suppose.
But, in the spirit of nonpartisan goodwill, here's another track, which I found simply from the album title, which was sweet. I'm not generally an Inspirational music type, but the guy has a nice voice and we all have hearts that hurt sometime.
Big Stuf
"Keep Singing" (mp3)
from "Storms : Songs for the Heart When It Hurts"




YTD O/CD Tally: 4
