Welcome Back, Free Music Thursday!

First off, let's all give a giant hand the size of TEXAS to our programmers for fixing ALL our bugs! /does backflip

Well, I'm a big fan of free music (legally, of course) and I bet you are too. PLUS, every OTHER music site does "FREE MUSIC FRIDAY", and to be ahead of the curve, here we are. With that said, I've compiled a list of AWESOME bands (literally or sarcastically) who are sharing some pretty AWESOME music.

1. Hawthorne Heights acoustic version of Nervous Breakdown. (oh, break DOWN, HH!)

2. Innerpartysystem's "American Trash" from their new EP…

Gingers In the News?

You heard that right, fans! There's been some Gingers in the news, well, at least in my world. I think there's a steady trend. They might take over the world. Anyways, here is my quick top 5 list brought to you by Rain City Ambience. :D


5. Conan O'Brian
Since my favorite comedian of 2009 got shafted by NBC quicker than yesterday's hooker, he's been doing some growing. Well, some personal growth could do him some good. It's attached to his face! That's right! Conan is now sporting the unemployment beard! I didn't know he could grow facial…

Top Ten Albums of '09

A bit late, but here you go regardless.


Top 10 Albums of 2009


10. Keith Urban - Defying Gravity

Matter of fact songwriting, with one of the best guitar players in the biz today.

9. Sherwood - Qu

Nothing but catchy melodies. Great use of what is now becoming classic "indie" production instruments.

8. Muse - Resistance

This album is a compositionally enlightened album. All the string arrangements were done with great consideration to classical music eras. To fuse it with rock music is pure genius.


7. Manchester Orchestra -…

End-of-the-year list ROUNDUP.

Everyone loves End-of-the-Year lists, right? They appear everywhere at the end of the every year, and it's always exciting to listen to peoples' top picks that you have never heard before.

Music lists:
PureVolume's Top 20 Unsigned Bands of 2009. Tacoma's He is We was the number one pick. Why am I not surprised? I can honestly say that I haven't heard of any of the other bands, so I think I have some research to do.

AbsolutePunk's Top 30 Albums of the Year. A couple of surprises, but nothing to pee your pants over.

Tyler's Tasty Top 10

Considering this is going to be my first blog entry, I guess it's only fitting that you get a judgment of my musical tastes via my 2009 top album list. As I was thinking about the music I've been listening to all year, I looked at my iTunes to see what dominated my plays and sadly it wasn't very much music from albums released in 2009. But here goes nothing, and I hope to get more involved in RCA as its San Diego representative ha. Bask in it.


Top 10 Albums of 2009

10. Eye Alaska - Genesis Underground

Colleen's Top 10 Albums of 2009.... and then some.

After reading both Kelly & Garrett's picks for 2009, I whispered aloud, "Crap, my choices aren't NEARLY as artistic as theirs." As I sat there, in my nest of a bed resting off whatever flu like symptoms I have now thanks to a confined space with my family members, I realized that this list is what fancies MY taste. My taste may not be the most artistic or highest rating with the critics, but this is what I liked in 2009. Hopefully, my list is a little diverse.

So, instead of being just like Kelly and…

Kelly's top ten albums of 2009

After finals, contracting the flu, contracting some other undesirable ailment, and an insane holiday season in the retail world, jumping on the ol' computer takes a bit of effort. With two days until the end of the 2009, I realized that this blog is an opportunity I can't pass up.

Without further ado, I present you with...

Kelly's top ten albums of the year!

I have put quite a bit of thought into this list at work and while driving to and from work (what a life I lead!), so I think I have just about enough foundation to write…
