First up, the
Jean-Benoit Dunckel half of the awesomeness that is
Air has released a self-titled solo album (
iTunes,
Amazon) under the name
Darkel, we heard "My Own Sun". Next was London's decided Swedish sounding
Plastic Operator with "Folder" from an EP by the same name (
eMusic,
iTunes). Then from Sweden/France
Envelopes did "I Don't Like It" from their debut album
Demon (
iTunes,
Amazon). Next Austin's
Voxtrot did "Trouble" from their new (see, they keep putting out EPs and as a result, I keep putting them on my show)
Your Biggest Fan (
eMusic,
iTunes,
Amazon) EP. And finally we heard a slower song from
Darkel called "How Brave You Are" from the same debut album (
iTunes,
Amazon) as "My Own Sun".
This week's show features a clip from Realtime with Bill Maher on HBO about the lack of a REAL liberal voice in American political leadership. ALSO: Check out the great blog Candied Pop! ALSO 2: My new favorite way to buy music is with my killer DRM-Free monthly subscription to eMusic! I pay ~$16/month and can download 90 well-encoded MP3s! So, check out eMusic now! (I discovered after recording the audio where I say I'm not being paid that there actually IS a way for me to get paid! So sign up with one of my eMusic links (like that one), get your free tracks, and whether or not you continue your subscription I get 6 big dollars!)
