Regular readers know how great Renee & Jeremy are, but in case you have friends whose families don't have their groove by-way-of-the beachside campfire music in their collection, you can direct them to a brand new collection of eight free tracks via Noisetrade.
A little taste, they describe it, but it's more than that. It's a hearty mid-morning snack and even includes a couple of their holiday tracks. Well worth snagging, friends.
I am a longtime Sandra Boynton fan, so I was pleased to hear a couple months ago that she had yet another kids music album coming out. Frog Trouble was released in book/CD form last month; the CD itself was released this week.
The new CD is country(-ish), and features some well-known country stars like Ben Folds, Mark Lanegan, Fountains of Wayne, and Linda Eder. Just kidding, they're on the disk but they're not country stars, Alison Krauss, Brad Paisley, Dwight Yoakam, Darius Rucker, and Kacey Musgraves? They are, in fact, country music stars, and they, too, make appearances here. You can download 3 tracks from Musgraves, Ryan Adams, and Folds for free (or make a tip with 80% going to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital). I particularly like the Ryan Adams track. Worth the e-mail address and possibly your cash.
Go here to download the music.
Another week of more posting than you might think if you just stick to this main page. Feel free to explore (or subscribe via RSS) to the other portions of the site.

I find it much easier to transition to summer once I've heard a great summer song. You know, with the guitars and the drums and the bopping of heads?
So, thank you , ScribbleMonster, it will be much easier for me to handle this 110-degree summer heat!
Seriously, the Chicago-area powerpop band's new three-song EP is about 92% fun, 8% educational, and pretty much 100% great. (I particularly like "What's the Big Idea?") Even better, the EP is free via NoiseTrade, though I'm sure they won't mind if you tip 'em a buck or two. Go listen, now!
Yay for new music from Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke! That's right, their new album Pleased to Meet You is set for release next Tuesday and to help promote the release [edit: and to promote National Train Day on May 11th] they're offering "Railroad Medley" off the new album as a free download.
Folks, new AND FREE music from KWMC is cause for celebration, no matter the time of year. Go here to grab your download (and listen to the rest of the album). Pretty sure you can guess at least one of the songs in the medley given the illustration below.
I do feel compelled to remind you occasionally of what great music you're missing out on if you're not signed up for (or opening up) the Zooglobble newsletter. Newsletter recipients get the occasional Z7 newsletter featuring 7 tracks from 7 artists, downloadable for free for just 7 days.
