Music on Myspace
For a while now Myspace has been a good place to listen to music. I first really realized it when Black Rebel Motorcycle Club had their new album on their Myspace player before releasing it. Of course there's also a lot of great music out there that you just can't get from the store: like Monsters Are Waiting. I especially like the song "Nobody". Today I've been listening to "Monster Hospital" on Metric's Myspace player - I heard the song on Conan, liked it and can't get it on iTunes in Finland.
Lately many Finnish bands have also taken an interest in Myspace. I glanced through all the Finnish band profiles (around 1500 of them) and what I mostly found was something along the lines of this. View more pics? Don't mind if I do. Oh, a picture with a bloody skull... I get it now.
Here's a few suggestions as to what you might want to check out:
• Sister Flo is new to Myspace. They have a few songs from Tragician's Hat on their player plus a demo song which I guess is gonna come on the album they start recording tomorrow. Check out the song "White Noise".
• Another indie pop band worth checking out is Red Carpet. "Sigh" is my favorite song on their player.
• 22-Pistepirkko is one of the more obveous choices. They have a cool quote on their profile from the LA Weekly in the "sounds like" section: "...nothing you've heard before, from nowhere you've been".
• Jori Hulkkonen and "LoFiction". You can watch the video here.
• The Latebird and friends have a good few songs on their player and they're playing at SXSW next month.
• Then there's Astrid Swan. She's gonna be at SXSW and she's also playing a show at the Echo next month. I haven't really listened to her album but I can say I like the single "They Need You If They Think You Love Them".
• Disco Ensemble is going to be at SXSW and they put on a good show. Check out the song "We Might Fall Apart".
• I haven't really made up my mind about Husky Rescue yet but here they are anyway.
And even some of the Finnish jazz mob is on Myspace: Five Corners, Kvalda and Q-continuum.
