So I thought Sunday afternoon was as good a time as any to share a couple of good sources of music. As an added bonus, both are free, which as a struggling shirtmaker I have always appreciated.
1. Truth and Soul Podcast (itunes): http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/truth-soul-radio/id263417896 .
Truth and Soul Records has been around for since 2004 and much like Daptone Records (of Sharon Jones fame) they put out soul/funk music that sounds like the greats from 60s. (Lee Fields, one of the artists on the label, could easily share the stage with James Brown).
The podcasts are around an hour long and consists mostly of rare funk and the occasional Latin gem from the 1960s. It’s an impressive collection. Download the Latin Workout, get about 4 minutes in and you will know exactly what I am talking about.…
2. Holiday Records (www.holidayrecords.net):
Stumbled on these guys a couple of months ago. The way it works is each Friday (this can vary), one of the members of the nuvo-surf band The Drums puts up a few songs for free download. Its fairly obscure stuff. There’s a Russian band, Palms on Fire (http://www.myspace.com/palmsonfire ) that makes 60s surf music, a French band that sounds like The Cure http://www.myspace.com/youngmichelin , and a group out of London called the Notes (http://www.myspace.com/wearethenotes ) which I think have huge potential. Some great finds and an interesting concept.
Enjoy..
