New Papercuts – ‘You Can Have What You Want’

We received an email about a new track available for download from Papercuts, titled “You Can Have What You Want,” which was also featured as an NPR song of the day. I wasn’t sure what to expect from it because to be completely honest I haven’t heard much Papercuts before but if this song is… Continue reading New Papercuts – ‘You Can Have What You Want’

Jon Hopkins free mp3

Thanks to Jamie’s post about the new Dirty Projectors track, I found out about another free download on Domino, this time a track called “Wire,” from Jon Hopkins (nerdy parents? If he didn’t go to school there I’d be very upset. “Hey I’m Jon Hopkins, I go to Johns Hopkins. Yeah, that’s right, I go… Continue reading Jon Hopkins free mp3

Despite your greatest beliefs, Knox Road is actually run by people (who we like to think are humane – I know, shocker), and when we hear about music combined with a worthy cause we’re always ready to pounce.
