5 Songs for a Hump Day Slump

April 7, 2010

Sometimes as midweek rolls around we all start to see that cup as more half empty than full. While Wednesday really is all that much closer to Friday, it can be hard when you realize there are STILL two more working days before the weekend. So in honor of that feeling of “Ugh, Do I really have to drag myself out of bed?” we bring you 5 songs to bring the pep back into your step, or at least let you know you’re not the only one.

Wednesday Night Drinkball- Bomb! The Music Industry, Scrambles

Moth’s Wings- Passion Pit, Manners

Ten Feet Tall- The Devil Makes Three, Self- Titled

Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa (Vampire Weekend)- Hot Chip & Peter Gabriel

Montreal -40C- Malajube, Trompe - l’oeil

Free Music Brought to You By Sound as Language

April 7, 2010

Sound as Language is a few weeks deep in their plan to offer one album, EP, or demo per week to the public. Stay tuned for weekly updates on what’s available, and be sure to check out Sound as Language for new music, interviews, and sound offs.

Who? Greenland Is Melting

Where are they from? Gainesville, FL

What do they sound like? Need more banjo in your indie rock? Greenland Is Melting got you covered. I had the pleasure of seeing the band last summer when they came through Columbia and the guys actually ended up crashing with me as well. This is lovely Americana/Folk with a punk spirit that I can get down with. A more rowdy Avett Brothers would be an apt comparison I think. The band’s debut is being reissued on Paper + Plastick on vinyl very soon but until then you can download it for free at the band’s Bandcamp. Get to it!
