This weeks little nuggets were:
- BBQCHICKENROBOT posted two tracks from Peasant (alias Damien DeRose) from his recent album “On The Ground”. Very nice acoustic/folk/indie sound. I especially like the track ‘The Wind’. Read the post [here]. They also put together a nice mix of jazz tracks which are an absolute must to listen to. New, old, acid, smooth, traditional. Something for every taste. Read the post [here]. And finally, “Konk”, the latest album by The Kooks was also reviewed and two tracks posted. Read the post [here]
- Captain Obvious very kindly generated “The Girls Names Mixtape 2″. 16 lovely tracks well worth sampling. Read the post [here]
- Good Weather For Airstrikes’ review of Sebastien Tellier also provides a sample of ‘Divine’ from his new album “Sexuality”. In May, a revised version of ‘Divine’will be released as a single…one week before it is entered with Tellier in the Eurovision Song Contest. The album version is worth a listen-to and there’s also a download of a remix version by Midnight Juggernauts and a stream of the Danger remix version. Read the post [here]
- Wongie’s Music World chose an Alphabeat track, ‘1000 Nights Of Thunder’as record of the week. Nice bouncy tune by the Danish band. Track download and video available. Read the post [here]

- Ick Music just got a big fat 10 on my scorecard! Two tracks from an artist called Jon Regen are posted as a review of his 2007 album “Let It Go”. Their description of this album reads: “…Let it Go is one of those records. There is something to it that just feels like home.” Home??? Hell, I’ve got my pipe and slippers out here!!! This is just what the doctor ordered for a nice relaxing evening after a long hard day. Just added this one to my shopping cart at CD Baby! Read the post [here]
