Rock Me, Baby

Laid down a lot of pop and electronic selections this week. Seems only right to kick off the weekend with some rock!

Here are 50 legally shared rock tracks across the board of genres that you can get onto your machine with one click - garage, hard rock, metal heavy sludge, postpunk and new wave, power pop, progressive and math rock, psych, pure rock, rockabilly, and surf.

Most of these tracks are from full albums on the Free Music Archives, and clicking the i after a song title  will take you to more from each artist.

Thank the FMA by rocking out with your fist in the air this weekend! Rock on, baby!

Red Wine and Surfing

Party People in a Can is the surf rock band of Pedro Costa, an associate of Portugal's incredible Stealing Orchestra. Featuring laidback songs about the beach, red wine, skateboarding, and surfing, the new album from Party People in a Can is well-timed for a summer release.

Costa somehow managed to capture that satisying summer evening feeling of the pure pleasure of an iced drink after an active day in the sun.

Party People in a Can claim Sesimbra as hometown, the seaside vacation city famous for its beaches, restaurants, and nightlife. This album has much the same relaxing effect as a day at the beach. Pour a glass and enjoy on this hot summer day. "Like Music Hall Dancers..." is a new summer anthem.

This album is available directly from You Are Not Stealing Records and from the Free Music Archive.

Let's Go Surfin' Now!

Was looking back through old posts from two years ago, and found that the links for all but two artists on this surf compilation are still live. End of summer is a great time for it! Enjoy this one from the archives, slightly updated....

Surf compilation. I recently put together a fun surf comp for a girlfriend in Vienna. It was made up of surf and Western style guitar tracks that have been made available by artists online. I've bought most of the CDs included on it, so I can vouch for them.

Mike's Web Album Dumpster

Mike, aka M.Ace, the creator of ookworld, Observing Obscure Kulture, has compiled "a stack of free web albums tracking the scat trail of (his) life in music," and is calling it Mike's Web Album Dumpster. Don't be fooled by his typical self-denigration. There are some gems in this collection spanning four decades. (Mike also created several fun themes for the Oddio Overplay site.)

One of his projects that we are enjoying is his Tin Termites. He writes,"The Tin Termites were my designated rock instrumentals band. You get some surf, some twang, some hot rod, some 'heavy' rock, and some just plain odd hybrids. Bitchen music for building hot rod model kits by. And a crowning finale for my dear old Musicman Sabre II guitar, which was usually superseded by a series of Strats on recordings to follow."

When you check out this collection of releases, you'll be pleased to find how many genres are represented. M.Ace even shares his nifty accordian recordings which are a far cry from polkas! Thanks for the music, M.Ace!

Note: Heard from John of the Malibooz. Seems John and Walter have been making music together for 40 years. Cool history, pics and more on their website. Malibooz CDs are available from CD Baby.
