Cake Life Collective

The Cake Life Collective is a group of friends who just wanna have fun, play good tunes, and pass on the love. It's made up of Ape Up!, Black Churches, Cameron Wisch, Chalk Talk, The Consecos, Pirouette, Prawn, Quiltary, Sharks Roar, Wood Goold, and Zona Mexicana. You all should know at least most of these bands, but if not you're going to find out.

They put together a compilation of their tunes and released it for free. It had no order to it, so I put the tunes in an order that I think works pretty decently. It ranges from some country inspired, relaxed indie-rock/pop(Wood Goold), all the way to some awesome emo-revival stuffs with gritty shout-sing vocals(Ape Up!). Basically, this compilation is awesome.

I've been mad busy

... sorry for not posting at all lately. Be patient.

Hard Girls

It was cramped and everyone was hot and sweaty. people didn't know what they were about to witness as the bassist and drummer from Pteradon grabbed their instruments along side the guitarist/lead singer of shinobu. when they began to play everyone instantly started to cry and rip there shirts off...... well, ok yeah that last part definitely did not happen. it mine as well have happen because cause these guys played some of the catchiest post punk San Jose has ever heard. if you thought Pteradon was good and if you thought shinobu was good well put them together and you have awesomeness. You may or may not have this already because it is posted on the label Quote Unquote's website. and it is for free on there too along with other albums.... I just felt the need to upload it for everyone that is in need! let me tell ya, everyone who doesn't have this is in need! The Album is called Hello. start your download ................................................................. now! Hello

Quiltary

This band was formerly known as Cape Terra, and they are awesome.  Here's the Boys with Bottle Rockets EP, and the full length acoustic lp called American Darling.  Probably two of my favorite 09 releases, even though Boys with Bottle Rockets is older, but they re-released it in 09 as Quiltary so fuck it, i'm correct.  If not, don't correct me, I feel smart.  Anyway, Quiltary is damn good, enjoy.

Mal Blum - For Making Art: The EP

I love Mal Blum. I used to have her 2 full lengths that I bought from itunes, but I got a new computer and I can't find the folder that was transferred over. Lame. She sounds like Frances from Hop Along mixed with Kimya Dawson, a little bit. She has her own sound, it's neat. This EP has 6 songs, 2 of which are live, and excellent quality. I'd marry her, but she isn't into my gender. Wua wua wuaaaaa. Enjoy, and buy her releases, please! OH! and if you have any other of her stuff, please upload it.

Fucking download, NOW

When All The World Sleeps - Live on Radio 1 in Chicago

download










link fixed! check it out. it's live from a radio session but the sound quality is extremely listenable. it's good instrumental math/post rock

Hop Along, Queen Ansleis

THIS IS MY FIRST POST.  HI.

Please don't mind the retard in the corner not jamming out to some rad tunes.  Hop Along, Queen Ansleis is some of THE most fun music I have ever heard.  The poppy version of Mal Blum, if you have any idea who she is.  Fuck it, think Tegan & Sara gone poppy and more experimental, oh, and fun!  Hop Along was originally a solo project by Frances, but eventually added two other nice people to the group.  Freshman Year is the debut album, and it's swell.  If swell meant potentially the most fun music of 2005, then yes!  Wretches is good too, but it's only like three songs, well four in my download, because I added in a song from their purevolume account.  It's so good, promising EP for the full release that will hopefully be coming soon.  Keep an eye out for this band, they rule.

Freshman Year - 2005

Wretches w/ extra song - 2009

Fairweather

sadly... their shortest release... the 4 song ep... is my favorite... there's not enough songs on it. all three releases are good though. music is pretty straight forward. song cool riffs here and there, the guys voice is awesome. they are from the dc area i believe. their sound is kind of a mix of melodic hardcore/punk, post-hardcore, indie, emo kind of ish stuff. it's nothing out of the ordinary. in between hey mercedes and the movielife. mad catchy, but not it a stupid way. make sure you download the alaska ep if you only try one. lusitania is my second favorite.

NATIVE - WRESTLING MOVES

FINALLLLLLLLLLY! that ponyboy song kicked ass, i am excited to listen to this later when i get out of class.

download!!!


if anyone has a higher bitrate that these let me know!

DJ Danger Mouse

If you dont have this album already then you should definitely get it. I remember there being huge controversy over this album because its Jay Z's Black album mixed with the Beatles white album, now if that doesn't sound appealing I don't blame you but you really should give it a try. I know it was nowhere to be found for awhile because DJ Danger Mouse AKA Gnarls Barkley [the guy who mixed it] was being sued for using the Beatles songs with out permission. Regardless of all that this is one of the best hip hop albums I have ever listened to. I'm not the biggest fan of the Beatles but its still super awesome to hear the two albums mixed.

Get IT!!!!!!

The Grey Album

Boost / Fine Lines

i had this liked this, and never listened to this enough for some reason unknown. anyways, the split is awesome, and are both ep/demos. really fun tunes from boost. some nice twinkly guitars and well paced drums. his voice is hidden perfectly enough behind the instruments. fine lines is a bit more on the screamo side. nice instrumentation, they have that nice fuzzy tone and the vocals are good and go along with it well. if you like algernon, boys and sex, 1994!, or grown ups or anything like that, you'll definitely dig these bands.

The Bronzed Chorus

I recently saw these guys play a show and I was blown away with how rad they were, not only is the drummer playing the drums but he's also playing a melody on the synth. they're a two piece band from North Carolina. They play fast paced instrumental songs which surprisingly doesn't get old like I would expect. This album is called i am the spring and it has an ambient post punk feel to it.

way worth downloading.

I'm the spring,

Death is Not Glamorous

awful band name, but now i like it! i avoided this band, regardless of any praise or any shit-talk i read, just because of the name. i am glad i tried it. this stuff is SO MUCH FUN. LOOK AT THE PICTURE!!!! don't listen to it expecting something ground breaking or badass, or whatever, because it's not, it doesn't have to be. i fell in love with this band the moment i heard them. quickly paced melodic hardcore punk. if old school moneen, and betrayed made a band, or it the movielife it's go time era got with zombie apocalypse (even though that's a HUGE stretch) i feel like this is what it would sound like. when i listened to it felt like i had been listening and loving it for years. his voice sounds so familiar, i can't think of who it reminds me of though.

oh, and they're from NORWAY!
and sing in english!!!

Punch

this is also some of my favorite hardcore that's come out lately, i have been playing it a lot for the past few weeks. it's energetic as fuck, and the girl fronting it is the shit, i love it. great presence. if you somehow haven't heard of this band yet... download this now!

listen to right of way and make the good times that much better.
SO GOOOOOOOD

download the eyeless ep
and download the s/t

Hey Mercedes

everynight fire works. i used to listen to this album a lot after i bought it, but haven't in a year or two. since i am back into the swing of less heavy music (woo!), i have listened a few more times. this is one of those things... if you don't have it yet... you've been living under a rock, or you hate it, or whatever. i didn't know till a while ago that this band was from the aftermath of braid breaking up, so, keep that in mind if you want to try this out. it's good mid paced indie-ish rock with a somewhat unique voice. i mean it's not anything crazy, he's just got a nice tone to it. i especially like the drumming.

its fun, try it out.

Rites of Spring

this one is probably obvious... more of that stuff along the lines of fugazi and one last wish, blah blah. it's from DC in the 80's... it's bound to be good.

end on end

i believe that's their discography release... right?

Radio Berlin

another repost, because of how good they were. its my last.fm name which some of you may know. this band is really unique. really dark, with great instrumentation. gives you a weird feeling when you listen, or at least to me it does; almost nostalgic and empty. some people might not like this, but others will hopefully appreciate it as much as i do.
