Computerization – My Body

Carlos Killpack — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:34:02 +0000

Some more great stuff I found over at the Collective (CLLCT)! Computerization features electronic-style instrumentation fused with some more traditional elements (like guitar, &c.) its all very cool!

KJ Hines – I Own This

Carlos Killpack — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:31:40 +0000

Once again we have a “teaser” track to keep everyone happy until I can get E6 onto Archive.org featuring KJ Hines, an indie rapper from the Austin area that was featured on the 2009 SxSW showcasing artists compilation. This track is pretty much exactly what you’d expect from rap: self-promoting, prideful, catchy, good to listen to. Hines essentially spends the song explaining why he is so awesome; something that, for one reason or another, really appeals to me. Enjoy.

Dead Confederate – The Rat

Carlos Killpack — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:01:11 +0000

In lieu of a proper episode (I don’t have access to Archive.org where I’m at) I’d like to present to you Dead Confederate performing The Rat. I got this from the SxSW compilation CD and totally fell in love with the band/song. (I’ll post the link in places of interest shortly)

Johnny Hoodoo – Future Blues

Carlos Killpack — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:37:11 +0000

In order to keep everyone happy until I finish putting together a proper introduction for the shows I’d like to share some old-fashioned country blues with y’all. What we’ve got here is a wonderful mix of acoustic-influenced blues (like some of Jeff Schram’s stuff) and southern country. Which sounds odd, I know. But it’s a great ear-full of historic blues. I can guarantee that this is the sort of stuff you’d hear if you took a musical tour of the American South during the early days of blues. Isn’t it great!

You can find Johnny Hoodoo over on Jamendo or Myspace Music. (Your pick) Enjoy!

Robin Grey – The Finchley Waltz

Carlos Killpack — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:54:37 +0000

Enter Robin Grey, an awesome folk artist from Britain! This song in particular has some awesomely deep observations about life, I love it. I particularly like the way everything is told in a pseudo-story-like style, everything leads into the next thought, it just flows beautifully. I, for one, enjoy complex acoustic guitar picking patterns behind vocals (as opposed to strumming, as is common) but despite the simplicity of the guitar in this song I liked it. Probably for the words. You can look up Robin Grey on Last.fm and Jamendo. Have fun!

PS: He is on my list for “Spotlight” Episodes.

Onalaska – Bird in the Night

Carlos Killpack — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 05:21:27 +0000

I’ve got a nice bonus track here for you: Bird in the Night by Onalaska from their album You and the Fishermen. It’s a really nice sort of acoustic pseudo-rock that I really enjoy; it is fairly mellow and reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel. (although you may not agree) I really like the picture this song in particular paints. Listen to it, you’ll see what I mean.

Josh Woodward – The Pawnbroker’s Stepdaughter

Carlos Killpack — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 06:19:57 +0000

Here’s another great song by Josh Woodward! Listen to these great lyrics, it’s some pretty profound stuff. And, as a little news, I’m in the process of looking at a great band called AM that I’m planning to review for Episode 4. So stay tuned!
