Our friend Brendan over at Count Me Out is a talented fellow. Aside from running a blog like the rest of us folk, he’s pretty much a full-time musician, recording solo and with his band, Bullets In Madison. He understands this little thing we like to call “the internet” and as such, Bullets in Madison… Continue reading Bullets In Madison

[MP3] Color of Clouds: “Burn It Down”
Not sure how I missed this one. KR favorites, Color of Clouds, released a “free EP” of sorts last month because fans were digging their song “Burn It Down”, which CoC had planned on editing a bit for their forthcoming album. The EP has the original version of the song, along with an acoustic version… Continue reading [MP3] Color of Clouds: “Burn It Down”
Collider releases free EP
What have we here? Free music? A free EP? A free eight song EP?? Sounds more like an LP to me, and that’s just fine. Collider, our San Fransisco friends from July and October, have released a free EP, titled BBM, to coincide with the new year. (We actually missed the boat on timing with… Continue reading Collider releases free EP
Will Sartain
So, the guy’s been around since 2002 as a solo act and in four (no typo) different bands and I hadn’t heard of him until, well, last week. As you may have guessed, I’ve been shaking my head in disgust – I mean, I could have been listening to a boatload more of great music… Continue reading Will Sartain

[MP3] Broken Bells: “The High Road”
We are not the first to post this song, I am aware of that. But, it doesn’t really matter. The much anticipated collaboration between James Mercer (of The Shins) and DJ Danger Mouse, Broken Bells, have released their first track for free, and we’d be remiss not to point it out to you fellow blog-reading… Continue reading [MP3] Broken Bells: “The High Road”
Notable Album Release: Sally Seltmann – Heart That’s Pounding
Sally Seltmann, best known to me as her now-defunct moniker, New Buffalo, will be releasing a new full-length (and the first under her own name), Heart That’s Pounding, in Spring 2010. There are already quite a few buzzworthy 2010 albums to be excited about, but this one will be near the top of my list.… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Sally Seltmann – Heart That’s Pounding
Akudama drops free November EP, Thumbelina
After KR took a month’s hiatus from the Akudama boys, they’re back again with Thumbelina – their latest, free, monthly EP. The stunning range of styles Akudama manages to incorporate into their music is admirable and unique. “Thumbelina”, the title track, is very beach boys-y during the choruses and soft and folksy during the verses.… Continue reading Akudama drops free November EP, Thumbelina
[MP3] Athlete: “Don’t Hold Your Breath”…(and other relevant news)
I won’t lie – I’ve been an Athlete fan for quite some time now. While inconsistencies have no doubt been a major problem for the British quartet, they still manage to capture my attention with several songs. “Tourist” and “Airport Disco”, in particular, always renew my faith in Athlete’s ability when they come up on… Continue reading [MP3] Athlete: “Don’t Hold Your Breath”…(and other relevant news)
[MP3] New Collider: “Time Concerns”
Our friends from a former KR “Keep an Eye On…” feature, San Fransisco’s Collider, recently contacted us about a new, free, digital single they’ve released to the public in anticipation of their new album, set to drop December 31, 2009. The single is called “Time Concerns” (there’s also a bonus track called “Modern Ends”) and… Continue reading [MP3] New Collider: “Time Concerns”
