Radiohead – In Rainbows

“In Rainbows” is one of the most incredible albums ever released, not just because you can pay what you want for it, but because it’s another perfect Radiohead production. I’m not sure how they do it, but they take the simplest melodies and create the most deeply consuming songs of all time. “In Rainbows” feels like a glimpse into an entirely new way of creating music, a very alien approach to the same basic instruments that seems to make more sense than anything I’ve heard in a while, and it’s free.

The Black Ghosts – Any Way You Choose...- EP

Ok, so Simon Lord was the vocalist for the late band Simian and is responsible for the vocals in both “We Are Your Friends” by Justice and “I Believe” by Simian Mobile Disco (a electronic duo formed from two members of Simian). Lord has now teamed up with DJ Touche from The Wiseguys to create an electronic group called The Black Ghosts. The Black Ghost’s new single “Any Way You Choose To Give It” is one of the best electronic songs I’ve ever heard, along with “We Are Your Friends” and “I Believe”. So, in conclusion, Simon Lord’s voice has done a lot for the world of music.

Black Kids – The Wizard of Ahhhs - EP

The Black Kids are a hip five-piece band out of Jacksonvlille, Florida. They’ve got a really refreshing sound, kind of like a new-age Cure, and their first release “The Wizard of Ahhhs” is exceptionally nice to listen to from front to back. It’s hard to feel down while listening to The Black Kids, their music seems to ooze optimism, and they are also giving their EP out for free, cool huh, the music business is transforming right before our eyes!
