 06/01/2009 Turkey may have been chewed, crackers pulled (not just on Christmas day) and a trillion squids worth of wrapping paper disposed of, but the season of good-will is far from over.
See, bands from far and wide have been releasing FREE downloads. Course, listening to FREE downloads is a good way to waste 60 Seconds, which is why we’ve posted it on this part of the website. Anyway, here are PlanetNotion’s top three free downloads:
Foals: The Oxford band previewed some etchings of work from their forthcoming album. Frontman, Yannis Philippakis, wrote on the band’s MySpace: “Work is continuing on writing the next record. Which is sounding less and less surf the colder it gets. surprisingly.”
He then added: “Most of this stuff is me messing round late at night lonely on a loop pedal. It's for the most part formless and semi-instrumental. Figures i guess.....” Um, yes Yannis, it does. Although it’s still pretty god-darn special. CLICK HERE to check it out!
The Black Lips: Gearing up for the release of their new album, 200 Million Thousand, The Black Lips have celebrated by releasing a free download of new single Starting Over.
PlanetNotion reckons they called their album 200 Million Thousand to f*ck with our imbecile brains and make us pull out a calculator. We did, and 200 Million Thousand is exactly the same as 200 Thousand Million.
Anyways, we gave the single a brief listen and we like what we hear. It’s nice and twee and sounds like a 60s love-in moving through to the 90s or something. Only, where the music is surprisingly sweet, the vocals are kinda trademark, garage rough. So, I guess you could call it brutal but fantastic sex. CLICK HERE to check it out!
The Beatles: Okay, so what’s new? We all know The Beatles music and practically all of their songs. Well, the ones released on albums anyway. Abbey Road and Revolver are personal favourites; especially when you're smoking an 8-ball in a joint the size of a party hat.
Anyways, The Beatles back-catalogue has finally been made available to download. For FREE! Furthermore, it’s perfectly legal. Double exclamation mark!! The catch? It’s courtesy of a Norwegian broadcasting station, taken from a long-running show dedicated to the band. Hence the weird Norwegian bloke talking at the beginning of each song… Still, CLICK HERE to check it out! |
