Streaming Free This Week: Stages and Stereos “Anchorless” EP

I’ve carried on here previously about the Stages and Stereos EP that I recently mastered…you may recall.  Well, check this.  The guys are streaming it for free this week at their purevolume.com page.  You can dig on it right HERE.  A little rock for your ear holes.  These are the guys I blathered on about in this BLOG POST about being grabbed by the lyrics.  Seriously.  Dude had his leg blown off by and IED and only survived because he happened to be running.  His story is better than….almost anyone’s.  And it’s in their song “Pressure Under Fire” – you really should check it out.

Also, check out their facetube HERE, their Tweetmachine HERE and the dude behind the sounds, my long time buddy Lee Dyess at Earthsound Recording – my man knows some underground.

Out Today: Er…Yesterday…Francesca’s “Christmas” – It’s Awesome

Here it is kids.  Francesca’s “Christmas” – what a fun record.  It sounds GORGEOUS if I do say so myself, and it actually gets COLDER when you play it!  (It doesn’t actually get colder when you play it)

You can check it out on iTunes by clicking anything in this whole sentence because I’m a little frisky with the link today.

This is a must have for the Christmas time.  Go get it!

 

If you haven’t been hip to Francesca, you can check out her Facebook Page and her Twitter Thing – I don’t know her address or license plate number, so I hope those will do.

Out Today, in time for lunch! Living Anthem – Shine Bright EP

Living Anthem recently had an EP move through the knobs, tubes (both vacuum and interweb, thank you very much) and assorted other gadgetry here at the joint.  It’s good one.  It’s out today, and not your usual Tuesday release.  Crafty fellers.  You can check it out on their iTunes page right here, and if you’re so inclined, their FaceTubeBook page is over here.  Maybe take a minute before lunch and check it out.  Your boss won’t care.

Out Today: Rio Ville – “Good Morning Dreamer” – You didn’t see this coming from Nashville

I’ve been talking on and off about a project I’ve been working on all summer.  Well.  It’s out today – and it’s good.  I love it.  I listen to it for fun.  It’s available for your steering pleasure (who knows what that’s from?) at The Smoking Section.  They talk a bit about it too.  You should definitely check it out if you’ve got a minute and like inventive music.  He runs the bases of narly hip hop, smooth old soul, acoustic love man and some stuff that’s just not much like anything else I’ve heard.  It’s good fun.  Dig it.  He’s got the FacePage there and the Tweet thing as well.  He’s also just about the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.  That goes a long way doesn’t it?  Sure gets your mastering guy on board with the InterFlogging!

I’ll bet you’ve wondering where my chart updates have been…haven’t you.

I’ve had a pretty hectic couple of weeks, filled with Christmas crooning, dance beat pounding, punk rock shredding and some earthy indie stuff occupying my days.  So I’ve not been up on the charts.  The time to rectify that is right…now.

So what have we here?

It seems that Big Daddy Weave have the #4 spot on the iTunes Christian & Gospel Chart.  That’s fun.  This song and album have been around for a long time.  Congrats to them for some nice longevity.  It’s great when a song catches people so widely.

Today: Bumpin’ Sounds from Rio Ville

You may be able to hear the bass from here.  Today I’m finally getting solid work done on my man Rio’s album, in hot anticipation for his listening party tomorrow at County Q Studio in Berry Hill.  He’s got a very inventive mix of pop, hip hop and soul, all rolled up and packaged with some awesome switch at the end.  He’s a fairly brilliant producer and writer, and it’s a real pleasure to work on his stuff and work with him.  You really should check out his fan page over at the FaceThingPage.  You can do that here – Rio Ville Facebook or you can follow his tweets, which often contain links to his music and videos right HERE

A Monday Variety Pack

What a day!  A variety pack indeed.  So far I’ve worked on screaming chick rock from Uncommon Road, some seriously great SoulHop from Rio Ville (my term, not his) some vibey Christmas rock from Starfield, some spanish jazz fusion and some pop en Espanol from a nice dude I just met and I haven’t figured out who his artist is yet.  Sometimes I kinda roll like that.  Detroit, Nashville, San Diego and later some punk from South Georgia for the guys in Stages and Stereos.  What an awesome day of stuff from all over the map, figuratively and literally.  But now it’s time for an ear break, grab some cat food and possibly take a bit out of this Starbucks card that’s burning a hole in my wallet.
