Guilt-Free MP3s

Yeah, that country tune threw you (yet you like Rabbit Fur Coat? -- hypocrites!). So Stereogum's sorted through the indie label PR inbox for six worthy free MP3s. Four word review idea stolen from Coolfer.

Quasi - "The Rhino" (MP3)
Coomes/Weiss get weird.

Centro-Matic - "Calling Thermatico" (MP3)
Patterson Hood's favorite band?

The Duke Spirit - "Cuts Across The Land" (MP3)
Buzzed-about Blooze rock.

Apathy - "Banquet" (MP3)
Bloc Party rap remix.

Eef Barzelay - "Ballad Of Bitter Honey" (MP3)
Clem Snider, solo acoustic.

Aloha - "Your Eyes" (MP3)
South By Stereogum preview!

UPDATE: One more:
Micah P. Hinson - "The Leading Guy" (MP3)

And to everyone w/ South By Stereogum questions (e.g., "How do I get in?") ... will all be answered in a post TK.

We don't have guilt when we're stealing music. Don't assume we do. You aren't our psychiatrist.

I saw Centro-matic when they were opening for the Truckers last year. There were only about 10 people, but they put on a good show.

I don't want to sound stupid, but I missed the point of that Eef Barzelay song.

I'm in class right so I'd thought I'd share this profound realization: Aloha (the band) is pretty tight. I've been listening to a couple singles for the past month. slightly murky production though or I got crappy mp3's.

Anyone got the new Streets track that was ripped from BBC Radio? Please please please let me get what I want...

That whole Quasi album is really weird. It's noisy, and Coomes sounds like he's screaming/straining on almost every album. It's a far cry from the band that made the awesome "Featuring Birds".

And the new Streets is up at Fluxblog.
