I have been doing this blog thing for about 1 and a half months and I am proud of how it is doing. It is a modest success but I have a decent amount of readers, and besides my friends I honestly did not expect anyone to read this thing. I changed the layout a bit, but nothing too rediculous….I hope…OH and I purchased a domain so now I got my own link, no more blogspot! So tell all your friends!!
I am not one to post many mp3’s since I don’t want to give off the impression I am just posting them to garner page views via elbo.ws. But I have found a lot of really cool music over the last month and figured I would post a whole bunch of them as a mini thank you to everyone and anyone who reads my site. (They will only be up for a week, then they will be removed. They are for sampling only. Go support the artists!!!)
Kanye West – Love Lockdown (New Version) (MP3)
-I’ve posted about this more times than neccesary. But I had to include this gem in here. Kanye took a risk with this one, and hit a homer run. Gotta love the new drums he added in the new mix. Cheers to him listening to his fans. (buy the song on itunes now!!)

Bloc Party – Talons (MP3)
-This track is a new single from them that was just sent out via email a few weeks ago, but it is actually on the album ‘Intimacy’. they just decided to release it seperatley to keep the nature of the “single” alive. I think it is one of the better moments on ‘Intimcy’ and are glad they added it.

Ra Ra Riot – Too Too Fast (MP3)
-Ra Ra Riot really have a geniune sound to them. There is just something about them. How can you not like this band. This may be one of my favorite songs at the moment, I really like the drum beat, vocals, and chorus of this song. It is pretty much indie-pop perfection.

Chairlift – Bruises (MP3)
-You may know this as that song in the new ipod nano commercial. I just discovered this and it is a gem. The vocals sorta remind me of the Moldy Peaches (Anyone Else but You). This is a cool tune and will be a big hit, until the next ad comes out…

The Morning Benders – Waiting On A War (MP3)
-These guys fucking rule. I caught them opening for The Kooks and they really blew me away. They got a really good sound going for them. The album is a killer blend of pop that you can listen anytime anywhere. Plus they worked their own merch table, you cannot ask for anything cooler.
