new music via thesixtyone.com

So I’m listening to The Sixty One today at work, as I sometimes do, and this totally cool clarient/drone thing came on. The Sixty One is this Creative Commons driven site where people put their music up and people vote on it, etc. Like last.fm but without keywords. [ed note: i have my music up there at www.thesixtyone.com/joeyoga and you can download it all for free]. The Sixty One also seems to focus more on instrumental/ambient music and Garage Band solo artists, whereas every major label artist has a last.fm site (I’m there too) so for that reason I prefer it when I am looking to dive in to the random. There is a lot of crap there (no names) but there is also cool stuff like untitled demos and sometimes you can find a real gem.
The one song I heard today that I liked enough to bring it up to the internet at large (another one of my “new” “year’s” “resolutions” being to both blog and hunt for new music more often) is by a band called Swimmingpool the Band and it’s called Pslam (Evening) so I guess that’s a music recommendation from me to you. I don’t like saying you SHOULD listen to them and I hate saying “You’ll love it!” even more, especially in a weird public space like the internet, because one, who the hell are you and how do I know you’ll like it, and two… well, ok. Maybe there IS just one reason.
One day I will find my Permanent Autonomous Zone, and it will be bigger than an elevator and you will be able to see me on the other side, working, with the heads of Republican senators on sticks, sharpened at both ends, natch.
