Well, my favorite record label is giving away all sorts of music downloads on their site and I'm going to go ahead and review them....
Go to; http://www.definitivejux.net/store/catalog/freeshit/ and check out the following...
Aesop Rock - The Ghosts of the Barbary Coast is a semi-collaboration with artist Jeremy Fish, this two song (one regular, one instrumental) set slightly overdoes it with semi-lame sound bites but the beat is all sorts of awesome and the lyrics are standard Aes fare. In reality the instrumental is sort of better than the one with him (sorry man!)
Cage - Nothing Left To Say begins as the most musical of all Cage songs I know. It's almost beautiful and almost completely maddening in its sadness. This song speaks right to the pain of being walked on and Cage shares that feeling unlike many others. Lyrically better than many of the songs on his albums - such a good song.
Chin Chin - Toot D'Amore ReMix sounds like something Prince would have created...ya know, if he had no talent at all.
Cool Calm Pete - Gitty Up Baby! is all sorts of smooth and dare I say sexy? I hate sounding like a tool saying that and I know I do but how can you hate on a song rockin' fake hoof beats about relaxing during the summertime. Even more amazing is that unlike say, G Love, Cool Calm Pete actually sounds cool and calm, he's not forcing this sort of relaxed feeling, just who he is. Very worth it.
Danny! - Check It Out (remix) sounds like old DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Press Conference is just silly sounding and Cafe Surreal has lyrics about cappuccino - who do you think you are, Murs? Hardly.
The Desert Rose Band - Running Shoes mixes up beats, keeps you thinking, throws out Thunder Cats references and makes you smile the whole way through. The devil does indeed make a fortune out of running shoes, and so should you fellas.
Hangar 18 - The entire Sweep The Leg album is up here for free download (yeah, that IS a Karate Kid reference) and it's catchy but not worth buying. Luckily it is free so check it out.
