Free Music Fridays... #1

      New category alert! Yes we got something new at TUNEclatter and it's exactly what it advertises- selections of perfectly free and legal music, ready to be downloaded right here.  Each week I will scour the endless facades of the internet for any available and legal downloads of my liking.  Most free songs on the web come from emerging artists who are kind enough to offer up their songs in return for the free publicity.  The descriptions will be brief and the reception is for you to decide.  If you like it take it, if not carry on.  Besides, what's the point of finding free music if there's no one to share it with?
   + I will try and make this a regular post on TUNEclatter on Friday of each week. [We'll see how long that lasts.] At least we got one!

===============================================================================================

1. "Not Title (Molly)" John Maus
A groovy, techno-y pop song with a splendid '80s vibe to it.  Like a hyped-up Joy Division track.

2. "Time" Athletes
Another Joy Divison-esque song with a more genuinely nostalgic feel to it. A little slower, no techno.

3. "The Only Place" Best Coast
The title track from the upcoming album due May 15.  A perfect hippity, So-Cal theme song to kick start the oncoming summer months so desperately in our sights.

4. "Gossip" Starlight Girls
With the high pitch organ screams this spooky pop song sounds like it should have been released closer to Halloween.  But all the better that its here right now. [You can actually download their full self-titled EP all for free!]

5. "Tomorrow" Parakeet
A side project from the female bassist of Yuck, "Tomorrow" is a riff-driven, hard-hitting rock song with a warm heart coming in the form of Mariko Doi's congenial voice.

  1. Love that obscure and addictive John Maus tune. Added it today to my top 100 songs of 2011
