05.25.10|Download Kurt Vile ‘Square Shells EP’ For FREE|Kurt Vile used to release records with such frequency that it would make your head spin, but it's been awhile since we last heard from him. Of course, the last time we did hear from him was with the masterpiece "Childish Prodigy", an album that has led to him doing endless rounds of touring in support of it. While he initially jumped onto my radar with his role in the band The War On Drugs, it has been his solo work that really roped me in. In fact, it roped in so many fans that he's no longer a member ...

04.12.10|Black Carl offers “Borrowed” for free download|Black Carl is a band that has seen their stock in the local music scene rise significantly over the past year. It has become a normal occurrence to see this band opening for big acts that come through town, as well as headlining bills of local bands at venues all around town. This is mostly due to the versatile and strong lead vocals from Emma Pew, but Ian Woodward's bass playing really does it for me as well. The band's spin on modern funk and soul will leave few people standing still and you wont find another band like them ...

11.19.09the language of musicPosted by Jake Goldsmith Music speaks to me. It tells me a story I can relate to. It also transports me; takes me places that I’ve never been and may never go. Music is the sound of science. Music is the sound of the soul. To listen and feel music is to open up to possibility, to open up to wonder and amazement. I find myself longing to live inside of it. Strange as it seems, this isn’t an original notion. I’ve had many a conversation about the idea of being or living inside of a song; to actually exist within ...

11.02.09My First Post: Sam Shepard’s FLOATING POINTSHello FMF readers, I’m Jake Goldsmith and this is my first post. As a DJ, I spend a lot of time gathering and listening to music. My taste is specific and varied, I don’t like everything and I don’t hate anything. I feel that music is both an art form and a science, and when listened to with this in mind, a basic appreciation for all music is possible. Some of you may know me, or know of me as a local DJ that plays primarily dance records. While this is true, it is also true that I love Jazz, ...

09.16.09the slew (kid koala, ex-wolfmother) offer lp for free downloadKid Koala teamed up with the ex rhythm section of Wolfmother and created the group The Slew. They're offering their debut album 100% for free download in anticipation of a set of nine tour dates they have upcoming where they'll be performing the album live. The performance will feature Kid Koala and DJ P-Love on six turntables, alongside Chris Ross on bass and Myles Heskett on drums. These shows are going to be insane and I'm pretty disappointed Phoenix won't be getting a date. However, grab the album and check out the music video that was shot with a Fisher ...
