GIMME TINNITUS

So, as of this here post no mysterious benefactor has emerged to finance a last minute jaunt down to Austin. Hence, I am not going to SXSW. I already went through Part 1 of the Unofficial SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artists torrent, you can see the results of that… here. Here is a selection of mp3s from bands featured in Part 2. This time I was able to whittle down the list to 28 songs. Some of these tracks will probably be familiar to you, while others not so much. Listen.

If you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should think about installing the DownThemAll! Firefox extension or try the Flash Got Firefox extension.

I am just writing to remind you all that the new postpostpunknoguitaronlybass Double Dagger album is now available (here and here for example). More is just as amazing as their last effort, but this time there is more of a wallofsoundthing going on. This is an album that requires the volume be turned up. This is an album that requires you to lose your shit. Right along with Power Move, Dim Light, I Blame You, and We Be Xuxa has been filed under the category “Best Of 2009″ in the back of my head.

Perhaps you need more convincing of this new album’s awesomeness?

UPDATE…

(Formerly) Downloadable: We Are The Ones (mp3 removed per label’s request)

Stream a live version of “We Are The Ones” for the time being at the Double Dagger myspace.
