My Kind of Karma - Sweet, Wild Life

What I like in free music is that you sometimes come across artists who could easily lead a successful international carreer, but prefer to begin slowly with self-produced free music. My Kind of Karma is just like that. You can almost hear their music coming from the radio station on a sunday afternoon, a sweet folk that sometimes crosses with reggae on Shoot Your Man and Disrespect, bits of banjo and ukulele, and wild life.

Press play.

One Waka - South Bay Sessions

Sweet Reggae vibrations from Christchurch, New Zealand. Usually I don't like Reggae, but I could listen to this one for hours, but as I am myself a horrible fascist forbiding anyone to listen to the same music publicly on and on I won't, but I could if I had not so much principles ruling my miserable mortal life. but but but.

Moby Stick - Follow the Roots

Groovy reggae this week, I usually ramble about how difficult it is to find good free reggae, but this one just offered itself to me, like a gift.

The blog is becoming bigger, I saw some albums featured here on some people's mp3 players. That is a big spur to continue sharing music. I'm working on some ideas to improve the blog even more, still, I lack the tools for the moment. We'll see what the future holds.

Enjoy, and till next week !

Slightly Stoopid - 2013 Sampler

This is an old one, from my perspective at least. Covered with dust, and it certainly had its share of powdered molded wall and bleach. I used to listen to this release a lot during a certain period of my life. Weird, it is very recent, but it seems to me to be light-years from here. And if someone comes and tries to teach me that light-years are a measure of distance and not of time, I will tell them that they are perfectly right, but that I'm using this measure to give an idea of far far away. It's been so long I even wonder if this album is still free, let me check... No problem, 100% free.

So what was I saying, ah yes, there is a little bit of everything in there, reggae, rock and what not, played by various artists (as you may have guessed) who preferred keeping their identity secret. Most of it is reggae... could it be that I am opening my soul to this kind of music ? A music I have hated for so long, but certainly not for the right reasons. Who knows ? Maybe there will be a noisecore section on the blog later ? Well, not now, don't worry (I'm talking to myself).

See you, peace and love, youpi.

To The Sensi Tree - Hitching a Ride

Some people think I only listen to electronic music, but that is completely untrue. In fact, if you except most music genres that end with "-core", I listen to a little bit of everything. The truth is, however, that finding good and free electronic music is much easier than with rock, reggae, blues, you name it. Today is one of these days when you're looking for electro and you find yourself soaked in reggae goodness. To The Sensi Tree made their album "the old school way, live, and with analog tapes", and you can really feel that old-school feeling, don't you ? I think I can, but that may be the cold-treating homeopathic medicine talking.
