To celebrate the release of the new Russian Circles album or something.

Russian Circles: Post-rock———-x—-Post-metal. Who knows the boundary lines anyway. This is one of the more ‘aggressive’ tracks on the album.
Youngblood [mp333]

North: Another more agressive post-rock band. Epic, etc.
Nex In March [mp333]

A Swarm of the Sun: It’s hard to describe this band. I was under the impression they were post-rock but now I’m not so sure. I like this song a lot, I think…
King of Everything [mp333]

Payolas: Bob Rock; If this name means anything to you, you should enjoy this.
I’ll Find Another (Who Can Do It Right) [mp333]

Where Is The Love [mp333]

The Burning Paris: If you like them, check out their other stuff and their new band On Fire. One of my favorites.
Building My Own Coffin [mp333]

M83: Yes, I just posted another song of theirs in the last post. I’m obsessed. Also: This song is just really terrifying, but in a really… soothing way? I don’t know what to make of it, but I love it.
Car Chase Terror [mp333]

Tephra: I know nothing about this band, but they were on a compilation CD I got from Magic Bullet Records (Sweet record label). I don’t even remember what this song sounds like but I know I like it. Your guess is as good as mine.
Through Our Veins [mp333]

Lights Out Asia: Electronic/Ambient stuff. Not quite sleeping music but maybe closer to chillout? Post-rock people like this band. Post-ambient.
Lilies On The Subway [mp333]

sleepmakeswaves: This band is really cool and this entire release is free from Lostchildren. They just released a new record which you can buy directly from them on their myspace.
One Day You Will Teach Me To Let Go Of My Fears [mp333]

That is all. Also, doesn’t a Red Sparowes/Gregor Samsa split seem weird to you? Me too. Such a thing exists. Must check out.

MiniRandom more like it??? Sorry for broken promises about new posts, it’s hard to do from school, the internet is weird and makeshift and I have to proxy around a filter to get to this site.

Circle Takes The Square: Screamo as they say. It’s fast and brutal and technical and just all-around good. Have some.
Crowquill [mp333]

Gregor Samsa: Has been posted here before. “Lovely,” “Brilliant,” and “Nice” are all words that come to mind. Gets really good near the end. This is like everyone’s favorite track, enjoy it.
Untitled 2 [mp333]

El-P: Made a small mention of this guy earlier but no mp3 or details. It’s a white guy rapping like he knows what’s up. Like, what’s really up.
Up All Night [mp333]

Owls: They broke up; I wish they hadn’t. It’s all ‘indie’ and depressing, other things too.
Everyone Is My Friend [mp333]

Crystal Castles: Neato like Justice and Daft Punk but also very different. There’s girl vocals too. Fun dancy music more in the vein of IDM.
Air War [mp333]

M. Ward: Have I wrote about this guy before? I hope so, but I’m not sure so I best be doing it again. It’s just too good to miss. After seeing the music video for this song I went out and bought the CD immediately. Look it up if you haven’t seen it. Folky.
Chinese Translation [mp333]

Jonn Serrie: I have an obsession with this man. I lost my Ixlandia CD and I got so impatient to get it back after all these weeks that I just went ahead and bought it on the Zune Marketplace, which is actually a lot cooler than I thought it would be. A lot of the stuff they offer is in mp3, not wma, including this. Space music.
Starport Indra [mp333]

M83: I sorta missed the boat on this one. M83 is so popular among the people that don’t like popular music. Like a regular bunch of Sufjan Stevens. Regardless, really really good electronic/indie that’s worth the hype it gets.
Teen Angst [mp333]

Holy Fuck: No, I’m not exclaiming profanities, this is a band. Some might say the “Post-rock sensation of the year” while most probably wouldn’t. It’s really different, has an airy sort of joyfulness to it that’s really uplifting if you’ve got the blues.
The Pulse [mp333]

Happy 4/4/08!
