About my absence...

I feel the need to explain why I haven't posted anything lately, after promising more frequent updates. Plain and simple, my internet keeps going down whenever I try and do anything. For a while, I couldn't even load the blog, let alone post to it. I just wanted to get this out there before my internet fails again. There will be no music posted today, but I'll see if the internet will be stable enough for that tomorrow. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Music dump time!

Well, I'm back from Cali'. Actually, I've been back for a good while. I really don't have a good excuse as to why I haven't posted recently, so to make up for that this post (and the next few) will contain the music dump I promised last time. None of these artists are particularly new, but they are well worth your time if you're interested. I'd go so far as to say these three bands create some of the greatest free music on the internet. Paying attention yet? Good. Let's begin.

PeerGynt Lobogris is a Spanish music act that, to use an obnoxious cliche, refuses to be defined by genres. I hate the "beyond genre/classification" cliche because most reviewers use it incorrectly. It's a lazy way of saying that the reviewer him/herself doesn't know the genre the band belongs to. However, PeerGynt Lobogris actually is one of those bands that can't be given a specific genre. The band's musical repertoire is so frickin' eclectic that you need quite a few genres to label them. It's not even that they bend or blend genres. One song on an album could be new age easy listening music. The next song could be thrash metal. The song after that may sound like a funky Santana. If I didn't know better, I'd think that several different bands were responsible for each of PeerGynt Lobogris' albums. It's absolutely nuts. To generalize broadly, PeerGynt Lobogris plays elevator-worthy new age, metal, and Santana-esque riff-fests. The band has been around since 1997, and they are quite prolific to say the least. The album I have here is a sort of greatest hits deal, but it's only 13 songs to cover well over 100 songs in their discography. It barely even scratches the surface of what they have to offer.

Greetings from Cali'!

As the title of with this post suggests, I am writing this post from excruciatingly sunny Cali' right now. Since I'm staying with relatives at the moment, I'm not going to be able to post music for a while. Don't expect any new music posts for about  two weeks or so. I am sorry about that, but you can expect a positively massive post upon my return, as well as an accelerated posting schedule upon my return. Cheers!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack...with free stuff.

Well, I'm finally back. The reason I haven't posted anything in a while is that I've been at the Liberty and Learning Youth Conference at Hillsdale College in Michigan for the past few days. That place has a phenomenal campus and one heck of an impressive shooting range. Their shooting facilities are on more than seventy acres of land, and are absolutely top notch. It turns out that I'm actually pretty handy with a pistol, although my shotgun skills kind of sucked in comparison to most of the other people there. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to take pride in my one-handed lefty bulls-eyes which I was somehow able to pull off after only my second day using handguns. But enough about firearms, here's some music. This time, I've got something really good for you...

The band is WE ARE FM, a rock group out of Amsterdam. What they bring to the table is a flawless mix of crisp pop rock/punk and electronica. It's hardly the first time we've found rock and techno combined, but it rarely sounds this freaking good. Absolutely phenomenal. Download it. Now. If you end up regretting it, then I disown you. :P
