MP3: Computer Vs. Banjo: Give Up On Ghosts

You’ll recognize their names because they’re both accomplished musicians: Johnny Mann was the lead guitarist of Gran Torino, a funk/jazz fixture on the Southeast club and college scene that ultimately licensed songs to TV hits like “The Real World.” Beau Stapleton played tenor guitar and mandolin for Blue Merle, a dynamic rock/pop four piece that rose remarkably high for such a short-lived star, releasing the album Burning in the Sun on Island Records and opening for Van Morrison.

MP3: Poi Dog Pondering: Candy

Poi Dog Pondering releases their seventh album, aptly titled, “7,” through their own Platetectonic Music label on April 1, 2008. PDP will be promoting the new album with a US tour, which began with a sold out show at Chicago’s Vic Theater on March 29, 2008, covered the east and west coast in April/May and continues through the south in June "This is the PDP I first fell in love with and, even though it’s twenty years on, their music takes me to places I never realized existed." - AUSTIN CHRONICLE.

MP3: She & Him: Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?

She & Him is a story of musical serendipity. Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward first met in 2006 for a movie soundtrack project in which they recorded a version of Richard and Linda Thompson’s “When I Get To The Border”. While in the studio, they were immediately struck by one another’s talents and found an instant rapport. During a conversation about their shared love of old records, Zooey let slip that she wrote her own songs, which she recorded alone at home on her computer. Somewhat shy about sharing these musical morsels, she was eventually persuaded to send them to M. He was instantly impressed, and they soon reconvened at his Portland studio to begin work.

MP3: Ed Harcourt: Revolution In The Heart

Ed Harcourt is poised to release his fifth studio album, The Beautiful Lie, in the US on June 3rd via Dovecote Records. The British Mercury Prize nominee recorded the bulk of the album on an eight-track in his grandmother's house in Sussex - the rest done in East London's Toe Tag studios, where The White Stripes recorded Elephant. Graham Coxon (Blur) lended his guitar for "Visit From A Dead Dog", BJ Cole's pedal steel makes appearances on various tracks and The Magic Numbers performed backing vocals on "Revolution In The Heart".

MP3: M83: We Own the Sky (Maps remix)

The idea of youth – wasted, gilded or otherwise – has always featured prominently in M83's music. "I loved being a teenager," says Anthony Gonzalez, who is M83. "That's when I discovered music and started to take drugs and party with my friends." That time of discovery – and of course the era in which Gonzalez was a teenager – greatly impacted the making of "Saturdays = Youth." "On this record I wanted to have the feeling of a teenager mixed with this period of the Eighties," Gonzalez explains. This free download is part of a split 7 inch remixed by Maps. One side features the "M83 Mix" of Maps' "To the Sky" (from last year's We Can Create), while the other features the "Maps Mix" of M83's "We Own the Sky", a track from the new LP. Check out Maps free download below.

MP3: Maps: To The Sky (M83 remix)

As mentioned above, this free download is part of the Sonic Cathedral split 7 inch remixed by M83. Maps and M83 swapped "sky" tracks from their new albums for remixing. Maps is the recording name used by Northampton-based musician James Chapman. An obvious influence on Chapman are Spiritualized, whom "he loves", Galaxie 500 and Low. This track comes from We Can Create, released in 2007 and shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize.

MP3: Flight of the Conchords: Ladies of the World

Click here to download MP3 file

The record: produced by Mickey Petralia (Beck Midnight Vultures, Ladytron Light & Magic) in Los Angeles, New York and Wellington. It features fully fleshed out and professionally recorded versions of Flight of the Conchords concert and television favorites, rendering pointless all the inexpert fan-made audio transfers (the modern day equivalent of holding a microphone up to the television speaker and shouting at your mom to be quiet), which have bloated hard drives the world over. The songs are heard here in expanded but reverent arrangements. Bret and Jemaine’s trademark acoustic guitars lead the blitz, backed by a diverse array of instrumentation and production technique.
