I was inspired by Bosley to put up some original music.  So if you ever wanted copies of Ruby Slippers or Lie to Me they’re available for free download.  If you’re feeling charitable (hehe), you can also buy them for .99.

Bosley - From Earth

Music from Bosley is the kind everyone needs on their ipod.  You know, that kind of music that has you dancing, the songs where the lyrics, beats, and hooks can’t help but stick – and luckily, Bosley is offering songs for free on ReverbNation.

All the songs are great, but here are the ones I love (notice how I mention almost all of them?).

Recommendations/Highlights

• After a long day of paper pushing or wishing you were doing something creative rather than the mundane, Quit Work Make Music can make you quit everything or at least give you a reprieve from your crappy day.

I love when people take something and make it entirely new!  Especially when there becomes a classical version from an initial pop song.  Can someone give me my choral version of Linkin Park’s “In the End” yet?

After reading the letter on Gizmodo from Damian of OK Go, I have decided to do a post where I embed this video.  Major labels and corporations have this tenuous relationship with social media – clamoring for its attention while simultaneously doing crap-like things that dissuade the consumer from telling others what they like.  Read the letter and learn about how you can’t embed YouTube videos.  I’m a big fan of OK Go – one of the best concerts I’ve ever had in my life featured them.  It was at a rinky-dink dive bar in Hollywood where they ran down to the floor and did a live recording.  So here’s their latest song – This Too Shall Pass.

So I’ve fallen a bit on the wayside on the “A Song A Day” pick (life’s been busy), but to make up for it, here’s an awesome new album I found today.

The actors of “Once” have collaborated as a group called The Swell Season.  Their album Strict Joy is an enjoyable mix of acoustic sounds and the soothing voices Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. My favorite songs are in the middle Fantasy Man and High Horses. NPR has the album in full to listen to here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113630469
