2nd: Only until FRIDAY - Mosquito Fleet has made all their music available for FREE.  But again, only until this Friday, Sept. 30th, 2011.  Here's what they posted on Facebook a few hours ago:
"
After taking most of the summer off from playing to adjust to some new life transitions for each of us, we are so excited to be playing in Marion, IN this Friday!...
In light of that, we are giving ALL of our music away for free at http://mosquitofleet.bandcamp.com/ until the show on Friday.
Help us get our music out to anyone who doesn't have it! Post the link on your friends' walls, tweet it, email it, whatever!
We love you guys and can't wait to see you this Friday
"
(Stop.)  ;)

So, you read the message - go get it!  Their latest EP "Swings & Cloves" contains what may be my favourite rendition of "Come Thou Fount of Ev'ry Blessing" ever.

Enjoy!

By the way:

2 things I'm really excited for (& have marked down in various places...)

2) Holding Onto Hope is again releasing their next album on Come&Live Records, which means that it's absolutely FREE (or donation, if you choose so).  Their new & self-titled album will be available Tues. Oct. 4th, 2011 on Come&Live.
You can get their previous album there, too.
http://www.comeandlive.com/CLD/HoldingOntoHope/index.html <-- "Of the Sea" for completely FREE
& here's two of their songs I would suggest looking up, & pretty much shows you the spectrum they play:
"We Are the Beacons" - screamed words with haunting melodies & entrancing guitars...

"What You Make of Me" - amazingly beautiful low key song that makes your heart yearn...

White Light - by Vinyl Thief

So excited to hear more of this new stuff.
But again, stuff to do, & sleep to be slept, so just a quick blurb I have here:
Vinyl Thief is based out of Nashville, TN.  They released their first material as Vinyl Thief in 2010 in the EP "Control".  They've been working on new material lately, & have now pre-released their song "White Light" to those on their mailing (hint: you should join).  This song is... well, it just is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOrGpQJTJ9E <-- this is all I can give you - go & download it for yourself (for FREE)  - http://vinylthief.com/whitelight/


& you can download their EP "Control" for FREE - highly recommended:

Blood Pressure - by Mutemath

Again, too much stuff to do, plus I need to get up at 4am so I'm not going to do a full post...
But, nonetheless, this music video, too, premiered just the other day.  I have more & more anticipation for the new album building up.

Dark Horses - by Switchfoot

I'm not going to post like normal 'cause I've homework & lotsa reading to do.
So:
This music video for the new album "Vice Verses" (which hits the shelves Sept. 27th, 2011) was released just a couple days ago.

Good News:

Actually, great news:
Sounds like Red Umbrella is going to release another album!  They posted a picture with the caption "Can't wait to share our new record!" about an hour ago on their Facebook page.
Just wanted to share that with you.


Also:
Mutemath premiered their new music video for their single "Blood Pressure" on MTV today.  ...  I wish I could say something about it, but I can't because I'm not in the right region, apparently.  MTV seems to not like sharing content with Canada; lol.


That's all.

Crash and Burn - by Hundred Year Storm

Wishing they came back again like they did 2 years ago...
Hundred Year Storm is from Austin, TX.  They formed in 2003, & their self-titled debuting EP came in Nov. 2004 on Jacket Weather Records.  Two more LP's came, both in 2006 & both on different labels: "Hello From the Children of Planet Earth" on Floodgate Records; then "Only When It's Dark Enough Can You See the Stars" on Northern.  Following a total of 400 shows in 3 years from 2004 through 2007, they took a 2 year hiatus, but returned in 2009 with "The Future Belongs to the Brave" on Doll House Recordings.  Sadly, I cannot find anything left of the band.  This song is from "Hello From the Children of Planet Earth".
http://www.purevolume.com/hundredyearstorm <-- it's the third on the playlist


Also: you can download "Crash and Burn" & "Mental" (both from "Hello From the...") for FREE on the PureVolume page listed above.
