What I’m Listening To

From time to time I’ll be posting my playlist. Most of it will be free music, freely available as downloadable mp3 files, flac files, etc. Occasionally I’ll include an independent band or small-label band worth listening to. Today’s music:

Jamendo’s album count keeps going up, and the quality of the music keeps improving as well. I’m loving the tag-based streaming player built into the web browser. One can also stream music with Pandora, or Last.fm, but with Jamendo, if you find something you love, it’s easy and free to download it immediately.

The Drive-by Truckers are classified as Alternative Country on emusic.com, but as several reviewers have pointed out, they are perhaps better referred to as Southern Rock.

Tim Fite is clever, bitingly sarcastic, and bouncy. It’s definitely hip-hop, also country, Texan, and scathingly political. I’m a fan of bargain-bin-diving djs, hunting for wacky samples. Tim Fite has taken this technique to a new plateau.

    In Jamendo, if you click on a song title, you will find the lyrics. Here is an example for Northern Star, the opening track to Hymns About Her.

    Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment!
