PRIZES - It's a Treasure(s) [2010]

Do you know Prizes? It's a guy from the UK (Liverpool or London?) who used to call himself Treasure and before that Treasures. His real name is Hari Ashurst (maybe). He started just last summer when he was waiting for the summer that didn't come. I'm glad that music scene in the UK is getting up again (from my point of view of course) and with so many names for just one artist my UK music folder seems even bigger :) I am kinda fed up with American monopoly cos its too far from me and i'm going to England for summer, so ...:)

Check his :::Prizeless Blog:::.

I was just talking to my friend recently about a possibility of going to Canada and that's when i've discovered this video too..

I've been following this "new" music for some time and WITCH▲HAUS is blog dedicated purely to it. Witch house..I don't mean the house in the city of Salem in the USA, i mean those weirdos playing electronic music, giving themselves unreadable names and pretending beiing mysterious and hip. I like some of it..not everything. It's the natural process for me of beiing bored of classic indie and electronic music, but i don't think this would be a long music period for me..I still appreciate "quality" too, fresh idea itself doesn't last long. But whatever, i like it now, and people always say that present is what counts!



So let's try that blog, it gives you everything for free, it only wants to be appreciated ;)

FMA - Free Music Archive

http://freemusicarchive.org/

I came across to FMA today and i think it's a great project so I've decided to keep it in my memory and post it here cos it's something I'd love to have in the Czech republic and what I'd personally love to do. As far as I know my aim is to live with, around and from M U S I C and my only experience so far was in global media company Vice (which was close enough to my dream), but unfortunately in the Czech Republic it's run by two guys who ignore to pay money they owe so don't ever start anything with them unless you want to do it for free..I'll have to do something about that later too! But now about Free Musis Archive.

The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of high-quality, legal audio downloads. It is directed by WFMU, the most renowned freeform radio station in America. Radio has always offered the public free access to new music. So this is a continuation of that purpose, designed for the age of the internet.

The music there varies from what i call "mature alternative" to psychedelic and lo-fi. I've tried to search for Tanlines - nothing, Washed Out - nothing, but Ariel Pink and Deerhunter or Atlas Sound - lot of free tracks. No matter what, even if it's not the best source of free music, it's a quality website and cool idea!

As an example of their taste I've chosen a compilation made for Blackburn Recordings (http://blackburnrecs.blogspot.com/

)
