Not For… er…
Featured Artist: Maybeshewill
They are from Leicester. Their debut album comes out of the 12th; It leaked. They sound similar to 65dos in a vague way. They are worth buying. They should come tour in the states.
He Films The Clouds Pt. 2 [mp333] has been described as the best song ever.
Not For Want of Trying [mp333] is powerful and emotive, contains a sample from the movie ‘Network.’
On with the show:
Kaskade: Downtempo/Chillout House. Just wonderful for late night escapades.
Honesty [mp333]
Late Night Alumni: More Downtempo/Chillout House. The same artist as Kaskade. Digg it.
Seemingly Sleepy [mp333]
Andy McKee: Ambient acoustic guitar. Just wonderful and warm. You won’t want to turn it off.
Drifting [mp333]
Amusement Parks On Fire: Shoegaze. If that term means nothing to you, it’s wonderful 90’s-sounding dreamy rock music. My favorite album recently.
In Flight [mp333]
Sound Tribe Sector 9: Downtempo Instrumental Hip-Hop. It doesn’t go into the hip-hop section because it’s not. It is really nice, tropical, and has bird whistle solos.
By The Morning Sun [mp333]
Hip-Hop Corner: If you don’t like hip-hop/rap already, this is for you. If you do, this is also for you.
Dälek: The most TPR of all hip-hop. A must-listen regardless of what your previous notions were about rap in general.
Speak Volumes [mp333]
Atmosphere: Just put this new album out and it’s really good, definitely check it out. One of the more dance-worthy tracks on the album, the rest of it seems really heartfelt.
Shoulda Known [mp333]
The Roots: Another sweet track from another new album.
Get Busy [mp333]
Jurassic 5: Older album, but a sweet track. Instrumentals reminiscent of old swing and big-band stuff with solid rap vocals to back it. Definitely something different.
Swing Set [mp333]
I’m not linking to myspaces, it takes too much time.

[...] McKee: I posted this dude here recently [1]. However, this song is too good to pass up. It’s a cover of Toto’s Africa. If you [...]

I would go to Maybeshewill’s concert just to hear He Films The Clouds Pt. 2 even if I didn’t like any other songs of their’s. I LOVE THAT SONG!!
Not For Want Of Trying starts with crazy loud and awesome rock and slows down a bit and goes to the part with the “Announcer” type of person talking and is all slow with the music then *BOOM*! goes back to awesome rock then slows down again then back to the announcer guy with a bit faster music then the first bit with the announcer. then gets steadily faster then starts rocking again and just keeps rockin hard untill the end of the song. AWESOME rock song I really liked it if people say that that song is a hip-hop/rap fusion I would tell them to listen to the guitar in that song many times and compare to Rock You Like A Hurricane (By the Scorpions) and they would say by the guitar’s in both songs that Not For Want Of Trying is a rock song of one of which I think is an awesome rock song pretty awesome/epic songs by Maybeshewill
