MP34U Charting the MP3 Universe 01/06/2009 03:41 PM Delivery Man (9th Wonder Remix) by The Cool Kids Mucster says: I've been feeling The Cool Kids since they wrote a song about fixies. That's my whip. And I'm feeling their flow. Muc...out! electronic, hip hop, electro 01/06/2009 03:08 PM The Star Spangled Banner by The Diamond Four Public Domain 4U says: This recording dates back to 1898. What a warm patriotic feeling that we Americans get when we listen to this song! It is most popular on July 4th and sporting events, but should be enjoyed anytime, really! Here is one of many versions of our country's national anthem, sung by the Diamond Four, on PD4U! A salute to the flag... other, traditional 01/06/2009 08:42 AM Hey Maker Market by Michael Zapruder's Rain Of Frogs pootietang says: Michael Zapruder's Rain of Frogs isn't so much a group, they are more of, oh what do you call it....a Dream Team. Like when America farm the best NBA players to be our Olympic Basketball team and then shame the rest of the free world. With members of various Bay Area musicians collect their unique talents and consolidates them into a force that recorded an album that's sure raise the pop music bar. pop, rock 01/06/2009 08:22 AM Bump Dis by DJ Oddz The Night Crawler says: I love when a producer carpet bombs the area with nauseating amounts of low-end. Isn't that the goal of grime and all the other sub genres of bass music coming off the foggy nether reaches of the UK Isles? This one has me in an overtly excited mood, which may lead me to jumping fences and stomping my night away. Hey, I wonder if I have anymore paint? electronic, bass, grime 01/06/2009 06:00 AM Block And Tackle Blues by Blythe And Burton Public Domain 4U says: Here's a song that tells us know where rock and roll descended from. Right smack in the middle of the tune are two fine gentlemen having a conversation about a party. Then at the end of the song I realized that these same gentlemen are the same two playing the song WHILE they're talking. Now that's rock and roll to me. blues, jazz 01/05/2009 05:50 PM Check Your Bucket by Eddie Bo Subverse says: I was about 20 the first time I heard an Eddie Bo song. It was the renowned funk classic "Hook and Sling." My life made a profound turn after that single blessed my life. Maybe you will not be as deeply affected as I. But I tell you this: Eddie Bo is one artist you need to hear before you die. urban/R&B, jazz, funk 01/05/2009 10:17 AM GFC by Albert Hammond, Jr. Madelia says: I have to admit to all my fans that I'm a little jealous of Albert Hammond Jr.'s super genes. Son of a beauty queen, lead guitarist of one of the most influential bands of the decade (The Strokes), is currently dating a super-super model, and "GFC" is off his second solo record ¿Cómo Te Llama? , and is arguably one of the best records of 2008. Oh, and his trademark 3-piece suit sent reverberations throughout the Manhattan rock and fashion scenes. So what can't this guy do? rock, indie rock 01/05/2009 09:00 AM Don't Give All The Lard Away by Dixieland Jug Blowers Public Domain 4U says: "Don't Give All The Lard Away" is a good story with great moral implications. I just wish I could focus on the meaning of it all. The music is soooo sweet that I might have to listen to this one again to find out what being "stingy with the lard" actually means back in the 1920's. And how does he do that with a JUG? blues, jazz 01/05/2009 08:04 AM Princess Vancouver by Morning Spy The Common Cold says: Looking for a song to accentuate cozy winter mornings in bed as you lye next to a beautiful person who you've just connected on, you know, an "intimate" level while you both sip on delicious coffee? Look no further because "Princess Vancouver" is a gentle ride that will whisk you through your glorious moments of quiet serenity. pop, rock, west coast 01/05/2009 05:06 AM Doctor by Parker House and Theory MuzicHunter says: Thanks for sending me your new song! Good Luck. rock 01/04/2009 03:55 PM Thank Me With Your Hands (Mstrkrft remix) by Panthers Subverse says: Panthers vocalist Jayson Green shows everyone from Brooklyn to Oakland that if you got chops, then you are blessed with the power to convert. Use that charisma and place it on a dance floor made of catchy disco beats and you have an irresistible treat. NYC disco punk is alive and well. rock, electronic, disco, dance 01/02/2009 06:20 PM Boodle-Am Shake by Dixieland Jug Blowers Public Domain 4U says: A Banjo, Guitar, violin, saxophone, trombone, piano, clarinet and one jug. And it's almost jazz if you really listen to the composition. The two founding members: banjoist Earl MacDonald and fiddler Clifford Hayes did not get along that well and one of them had to bribe the other to commit to some of these recordings. Jug band drama. blues, jazz 01/02/2009 05:47 PM See Saw by Jay Reatard pjaction says: To a 15 year-old aspiring DIY rockstar, Jay Reatard is the sh*t. Way too prolific of a songwriter to be punk, way too fringe to be pop. He's an anomaly that constantly intrigues professional musicians, the media, and the young-inns alike. His garage-punk-post-new-wave sketches are a total rock n' roll blast while he drives his music machine full speed without breaks or a custom air-brushed helmet. rock 01/02/2009 05:46 PM Greetings, Salutations, Goodbye by Piney Gir Pop Hermit says: Hey up, 'Ow is't? Ah'ya alreet lad? Aye Ah's grand 'n nay mistake. pop, country/folk 12/31/2008 05:57 PM Monkey Ska by Derrick Harriot Ska 4U says: This is the original Jamaican ska that seems to be making a come back with all the young and old ska fans. Simply marvelous music for the dancehall floor. Skank it up! reggae/ska, jamaica ska 12/31/2008 02:29 PM Wobble That War (elected mashup) by Skream Vs. Elephant Man Eternal says: "Hater go to war/ war wit' me/ Fuck wit' my crew go to the cemetery" Gangster bloc with the beat to back it up. This sh*ts heavy man. Little message for the new year. Respect to the bass-step massive. electronic, bass, dub step 12/31/2008 02:13 PM Nelson Blues by Nelson's Paramount Serenaders Public Domain 4U says: Vance Dixon on Clarinet, Norman Ebron on Cornet, Richard M. Jones on Piano, Dave Nelson on Cornet and Albert Wynn on Trombone, serenading us with musical ease. blues, jazz 12/31/2008 02:12 PM Better Angels by Low Red Land JosieSpace says: Low Red Land started off in Boston, self-released an album, then split to San Francisco. I don't know if it's the West Coast air, or the mild winters, but their song writing has never sounded sharper. They hold a keen pop-music blade cutting through the fog of bands that seem to miss the idea that a great band starts off with great songwriting. Expect greatness from Low Red Land. pop, indie 12/30/2008 11:11 AM Introduction to The Anthology Of American Literature by Neal Pollack Matthew King Kaufman says: Neal Pollack is best known as the greatest living American writer, and damn, this makes sooo much sense to me, that I'm embarrassed to admit it. You only have to listen once to remember it forever. That's quite a statement in itself, but you also feel compelled to play it for others. Wow, thanks Bloodhshotrecords.com for sharing this gem with the world. pop, spoken word, soul 12/30/2008 10:02 AM God of Rap by Dr. Dooom Subverse says: When I was in High School I had a slight heroin problem. I was forced to go to a 12 step, where they told me on the first day I neeed to get a god. I don't believe in a god with a face. But if I HAD TO, then I would choose Dr. Dooom, or any of his other 55 monikers. hip hop, hyphy, underground
