hello.

I’m starting this blog to try and curate and deliver the best music I can find out there. It's not original, it's not unique, but it is my perspective on music (which is,) and after 25 years of listening I can tell the difference. Of course there's no accounting for taste, but most people have none, hence the million-selling artists of today aren't generally fit to lick the boots of yesterday's heroes.
My aim is to help the best artists become the million-sellers of the future so that if aliens ever visited, we could actually be proud of our most popular culture. Mostly I just love great music that makes me sit up and think "that's different," or "I didn't expect that" or "Fuck yeah, turn it up!"

I'm also going to learn how to write a blog, so forgive me for learning as I go along.

Most importantly, I don’t care if noone ever reads it. That should put me in a good position to remain uncorruptible. There is alot of music out there. A fucking lot. Most of it is average. But there are, I would say, at least a few hundred or thousand exciting artists that are original, unique and make me want to hear them again and again.

I’m not arsed if it’s signed or unsigned, and I don’t care what genre it is. Sometimes it will be an artist, sometimes an album and sometimes just one song. It is, however, alot of hard work trying to separate the, oh, good title for the blog. Luckily, I have collected around 60 tracks on soundcloud that I consider unique and worth checking out, so i'm covered for the next little while..

This might be a daily thing; it might be more than once a day. Most likely it will be as and when I find great new music that I want to help promote.

So, here's my two opening gambits. You should absolutely check these amazing (both American) artists out:

1. Meg Myers - www.meginthedark.com

As I said, i'm learning. Let's try embedding some pictures and music or video..

ok, one down..
damn, can't publish str8 from soundcloud. let's try a link:

http://soundcloud.com/meginthedark/tennessee 

Love this track. Sh'es got 6 up there plus a remix and they're all brilliant and all free downloads. 
Now i've got to work out how to embed this shit.

Let's try a video:

Ah, there we go.

What does it sound like? Well, it's always going to be far easier for you to click one of these links, listen, and decide for yourself. Like I say, the artists I pick to promote here are all going to be unique voices, though of course every one has reference points. Make your own mind up, ffs i'm not a music journalist.

Going to try and publish and do the second one in the next post...it's all new to me, I hit strings.
