PUSA power pop hella much

The Presidents of the United States of America – “Zero Friction”

You know I must have my power pop. I must. Without it I shall die. This song is brill. Zero Friction in my life. From the lovely Pres’s's of the USA who gave us the quirky hit “Lump” back in the 90′s. They keep making lovely records, and this one puts a big smile on my SuperfanFace :)

Lene Lovich drops a “Wonderful One”

Lene Lovich – “Wonderful One”

Well I’ve always felt that Lene Lovich is pretty wonderful, so I can’t contain my delight that I found a new single and album from her in the vast reaches of IODA’s ever growing long tail. The music on this track is so brilliant, every little sound is right behind her instantly recognizable voice, helping her tell the story. A romantic new wave treasure.

Here We Go Magic lives up to their name

Here We Go Magic- “Fangela”

Based on this promotrack I can say this eponymous album is well named. “Here We Go Magic” indeed. Fangela is a beautiful and mysterious flight into unknown waters that are warm and swirly and you just want to stay there and float even if it’s dark and you can no longer see the shore. Home recording with a delicious lo-fi quality but it’s fully realized art, this is not a “demo”-  even if the cat made it on a four track with a basic Shure 57 mic. A song you’ll want to keep because you’ll find it different from anything in your collection but at the same time pleasantly familiar. Excellent.

The Fresh & Onlys

The Fresh & Onlys – “Peacock and Wing”

Rock and roll seems to be born again every time someone launches into it with such sincerity and wreckless abandon as this. Seething with lust and delightful garage band cacophany, dear readers, I give you, The Fresh & Onlys. This song is downright stunning. Velvet Underground meets Clash at Jefferson Airplane’s house, only more crazy. Top notch work from this San Francisco band.

Music is my passion, and I bask in its sonic glow everyday. There has been so much stupendous music made recently, regardless of the shriveling record industry.

This GR8 music has somehow been ignored and relegated to a second-class status it honestly doesn’t deserve. Being the uber-fan that I am, I found it necessary to blog about this attention-worthy music. Because of my immense passion, I feel like it’s my sole responsibility to take you directly to as much of this music as I can find. I just want to share the fun with fellow music lovers, while helping the music creators.

I have found a free legal MP3 download for each song I post. The artist approves of the free download. These artists hope you like their music enough to buy some. If you don’t, the artist still thanks you for taking the time to listen to their music.

Makes sense, right?

So I’m Superfan.

I give you a link to free legal MP3s, and I get to help spread the word for artists.

If you don’t find any music you love, you’ll get your money back. Guaranteed!

From the time I discovered there was a world of great music seething beyond my brother’s record collection, I have spent the majority of my energy exploring music that is new to me. I grew up listening to hip-hop, electronic and jazz. By the time I was 14 I started bedroom DJing. During high school I started my perpetual mixtape quest. Eventually I amassed enough gear and dirty-used records to turn what should have been a laundry room into a home studio. Two of my songs where deemed worthy enough to be included in Fun Fun Fun Recording’s Mp3 Jackpot Winners Vol. 1“Meditations (by a father)” and “Sick“. It was during that exciting time that I first heard of the MP3 format. I immediately saw how artists like myself would be able to exploit the new technology as a vehicle for delivering music straight to music lovers. Subverse2ten is the latest medium that I use for discovering, filtering and distributing new music to music fans who find themselves always slightly ahead of the curve. I still hold the same enthusiasm and love of new music as I did when I was a kid. I hope you enjoy the music you find here as much as I do.

I'm a guitarist, singer, songwriter and skanking fool in The Uptones. We're a ska band, infused with power pop, dub, punk and jazz influences. I love music in pretty much any genre, and I'm constantly surprised by the endless amount of quality work one can discover on teh Interwebs. What I post here is music I like, for whatever reason, just stuff I want to share that I think is worthy and entertaining. Hope you enjoy. And check out the rest of our webring - there's a lot of gr8 music under the proverbial radar, and peeps like Superfan and Subverse are superb sources of free, legal mp3s that truly rock. Welcome to my little corner of the music blog-o-sphere.

Helping create and introducing new music is my greatest joy. I founded Beserkley Records, and Fun Fun Fun Recordings to do just that. All the bloggers at Music2ten.com are recording artists @ Funfunfunrecordings.com. I am truly proud of all the music at Fun Fun Fun, and I hope you check out the music, maybe even buy some.

I am also a recording artist @ Fun Fun Fun. That helps me understand the need for exposure sites like this one. Check out my ode to the radio on MP3Jackpot Winners.

Survival Oakland


www.survivaloakland2ten.com In a time and place where virtual hustle has devolved into clicks, plays and arbitrary photos of youngsters portraying something they’re NOT, Survival’s blog serves as ground zero for post-modern metalism. Metalism, that sonic punch that, when it hit, you missed. Then when it hit again, you still missed.

Instead of adding this site to your friend’s list and continuing some miniscule internet existence in a virtually impoverished ghetto of media, just hit up this page to hear some of the heaviest, crunchiest shit that indies, majors, and nobodies are offering in the Bay, the Nation, and Beyond – for Free.

Survival is a speed, thrash, groove, power, sex, pain metal group from the Bay Area started in 2009.

The style grows from the classic bay area speed metal sound, but with more eccentric and enigmatic energy to bruise your receptors.
