23 This Year: The SUB POP Amazon Sampler FREE!

23 This Year: The Sub Pop Amazon Sampler

This review is from: 23 This Year: The Sub Pop Amazon Sampler (MP3 Download)

Sub Pop Records is a Seattle based pretty successful record company with many band names on their web site. This free mp3 sampler is 23 bands on 23 tracks.

Track 1 Fleet Foxes with Helplessness Blues. Meaningful strong vocal over quickly frantic acoustic guitar. Kicks in a bit of bass stays consistent, great song.

Amor Fati by Washed Out(Ernest Greene)up next. Alternative rock track hollow vocal over straight forward music. Nothing fancy good track.

Vetiver playing Wonder Why is next. Mellow easy listening indie song that cruises along behind male lyric and simple backing sounds. Nice.

Track 4 is The Head And The Heart playing Lost In My Mind. Quiet male vocal over guitar and subdued band, nice lyrics, cool ohooohohing vocalist kicks it up a notch on very nice folky/indie song.

Fruit Bats (Eric D. Johnson) bring us Tangie and Ray. Different vocal on peppy song that changes enough to keep our interest. Nice Indie Pop song.

Track 6 is by Aureilo singing Tio Sam. Very cool African Caribbean sound behind neat clear lead vocal, drums and backing singers. Like it a lot.

The Fox is by Niki & The Dove. Two person band from Sweden. Cool Alternative track nothing boring a little messy but you will keep listening to the active strong female vocal. Very nice.

Mogwai bring us Rano Pano. Great distorted guitar opening slowly builds with drums and what could be atomic Kazoos. Remains an instrumental track that maintains it's slightly threatening undertone, you will keep listening. Like it.

Track 9 is Shabazz Palaces with Swerve...the reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding). Male and female Rap vocals over electro/techno noises.

Still Corners with Endless Summer bring us back to music. Hollow dreamy female vocal over mixture of synthesizer sounds that get stronger as we progress then it's over.

Chad Vangaalen with Peace On The Rise is next. Hollow male vocal plodding along behind bad production and simplistic instruments. Predictable Indie song.

Track 12 is Not Enough from J Mascis. Another great singer songwriter in your ears vocal over acoustic guitar and other singers. Very folky very nice.

Rebound from Sebadoh. Raccous opening (very refreshing) gives way to lone singer over classic sounding 3 piece band. Cruises along w/nice California garage band sound. Track is over way too soon.

Next up Orbits playing You Gotta Lose. Equally cool opening up beat band
and intense singer. Punky sound great song.

Track 15 is He Gets Me High by Dum Dum Girls. I love the Dum Dum Girls. Similar great Pop/punky sound to their songs this is no exception. Slightly distorted sound great smart song.

Handsome Furs bring us Repatriated. Strong New Wave sound and 80's vocal. Pulsing dance beat behind much more. Cruises along nicely, echoes of the 80's it's all good on this great song.

The Twilight Singers are next with On The Corner. Very good rock song, superior intro, strong sound, cool vocal. Band and singer grow and stretch as the song expands, keeps getting bigger this is a brilliant song. Even has cool fade to end.

Number 18 is Papercuts with Do You Really Wanna Know. Dreamy hollow vocal over straining band. Song soars and cruises stays the same, pretty good Dream Pop.

Mister Heavenly is the band Bronx Sniper is the song. Pretty cool strong rock band sound after trick quiet opening. Great vocal rowdy band very deliberate and calculated sound that rocks. Love it.

Track 20 is Male Bonding with Bones. Any rapid playing guitar fade in to a song is a good start. Weird Motorhead lyrical flashback (It's all the same to me) as the singer starts however the dreamy vocal over frantic distorted guitar and simple drums soon take over. At 6 and half minutes song starts to age, these guys maintain a beat and rock on through. Like it.

Avi Buffalo with How Come? is next. Cool thumping bass behind new female vocal and messy music. Actually stays interesting and sounds pretty good. Initially I thought they were Pomplamoose (from Hyundai Christmas TV ad) they are not. Nice song.

Especially Me from Low is next. Song opens with a well used line (Cry me a river) quickly goes it's own way with very nice female vocal over strengthening band in the back ground. Very cool 5 and half minutes of superior vocal and band. This is a very well produced quality song.

Last track is Daniel Martin Moore with O My Soul. We close with initially mellow male vocal over controlled acoustic guitar, song quickly becomes stronger and better. High quality singer songwriter number to end a very high quality mp3 download from Amazon.

This 23 track free sampler starts well and never looks back. A superior collection of very talented musicians. Every track adds something to the sampler. Production is mostly very good, content is superior, overall this is a great sampler. A neat mix of mostly Indie, Alternative and Folk sometimes on the same song.

I strongly suggest you download now, recent Amazon samplers have quickly become for sale or been withdrawn. I cannot imagine this collection will be free for long and I'd be surprised if you delete many tracks.

Hurricane Irene
'God's Warning' - Michele Bachmann

Uploaded by fornak8or on Aug 29, 2011

08/29/2011

As Hurricane Irene ravaged the East Coast this weekend, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said the storm and last week's earthquake were God's way of trying to get politicians in Washington to deal with soaring federal deficits.

"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending," Bachmann said in Sarasota on Sunday, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

On Monday, Bachmann's campaign spokesperson Alice Stewart said the Minnesota congresswoman was just joking.

Article: Tainted Chinese Honey May Be on U.S. Store Shelves

excerpts via Time Healthland:

"Millions of pounds of tainted Chinese honey are likely making their way onto U.S. store shelves, according to an investigation by Food Safety News (FSN). The online daily news site reports that Chinese honeymakers are laundering their products through other Asian nations, including India, Vietnam and Malaysia, in order to smuggle it into the U.S.
The ploy is a way to get around paying the steep tariffs — up to $1.20 per pound — that the U.S. has imposed on cheap Chinese honey, FSN's Andrew Schneider reports. The scheme is being aided by American importers and lax enforcement by the Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA)"

"What's wrong with honey from China? For one thing, it may contain lead, a toxin that accumulates in the body and can cause neurological damage, particularly in young children. The lead contamination has been traced back to the thousands of small beekeeping operations in China that use unlined, lead-soldered drums to collect and store honey before transferring it to processors.

Further, FSN reports, Chinese honey may contain tiny amounts of an antibiotic known as chloramphenicol, which was used in the early 2000s to thwart a bacterial epidemic that was killing tens of millions of bees. The FDA has banned the presence of the drug in food; even in small amounts, it can cause a severe or fatal reaction in about 1 out of 30,000 people."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 12.1 MP Rugged/Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD

Right now, Amazon.com has got the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TS3 12.1-Megapixel Digital Camera in Silver for $275.99. Features include a 2.7" LCD, 4.6x optical zoom with image stabilization, 1280x720 (720p) HD video capture, 19MB built-in memory, SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot, HDMI, USB connectivity, and more. It's also shockproof, waterproof, dustproof, and freezeproof. Myself, I have the DMC-ZS7 and I love it.

As a Lumix owner, I would have to recommend considering also picking up the Wasabi Power Battery and Charger Kit for Panasonic Lumix. The camera, as it comes, only charges via USB cord. In my opinion a standalone charger and extra batteries are key. The Wasabi Power battery and charger kit includes TWO Panasonic Lumix firmware compatible batteries and one charger with a European plug AND a car adapter. The batteries meet or exceed OEM standards (higher capacity than the originals) and come with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Does Google Page Rank Matter?

Sweet Blog

"You would not believe how many times I am asked ‘does page rank matter’. The simple answer is ‘Yes’. "



"You will see many self proclaimed SEO experts talk about the value of backlinks, but dismiss PR as irrelevant. However Google Page Rank is Google’s Measurement of incoming backlinks and their value. When these SEO Experts dismiss PR and disagree that Page Rank matters, they are infact saying that backlinks are unimportant, which often contradicts what they are saying about backlinks directly.

The pagerank of a webpage is calculated independently for each webpage (not website) on the Internet. Page Rank is calculated in varying ways, and there are currently only estimations which can guide you on using backlinks to increase your page rank. Despite this the most accurate way to gauge Page Rank is by gaining backlinks to your own webpage, so don’t be confused, page rank does matter.

Of course it is important to point out that a high page rank does not automatically mean a number one Google Position, I have PR1 webpages beating PR5 webpages. But since Page Rank is basically a visual display of Googles Link Value algorithm, it is a good guide to how many backlinks a site has, and their value. The rest of Googles ranking algorithm is rumored to have nearly 300 components, which help to decide the relevance of a webpage, Page Rank is but a small part of that complex world which I have had to explore to bring traffic to my blog!"
