In between sun and rain

I was on my way home from work and got stopped by several rain showers. In a bus stop I was sitting down and started listening to the album that I would like to share today.  I seemed to be the only one not grumpy about the weather and I blame it on this album. Most of the songs are …

Surprise of the day

Everyday I try to listen to 2-3 new albums and 2 or 3 that I have listened before. I want to give every album a second chance, because quite often find myself not able to say if I like it or if I want to like it. Today’s daily post is about an album that did not need a second …

Rock the sick bones

In case you’ve been wondering I was sick the last few days, so there have been no daily posts by me. Actually I felt so sick, that I could not really listen to new tracks or work on one of my planned cc-beginners series, that I will explain next week a bit more. So I thought on my way to work …

The Fandango Jürgen Takeover

Another excellent #OO for your listening pleasure. The super suave sexy hero Yuri The Blade comes and hijacks the show and makes for a blast of an evening. We drink beer, talk music and in general have a great time. You will not be disappointed. Show producer SaltyHash with his 3.33 ltc donation. MartinJJ album art and show notes. Amsterdammack …

Let’s feel fantastic

This morning I received a long awaited email from Ryno. He got the permission from The Toothaches to release exclusively the cover version of the Jonathan Coulton song I feel fantastic which premiered on the show a while ago. The idea for that cover song came up when The Toothaches  passed by for an interview to report about their Kickstarter …

A french evening

Today I had a French evening with two cc-related artists. After leaving work much later than expected, I was not able to be in time for my appointment with DJ Habett, but he was very forgiving when I showed up 30 minutes late! We talked about the differences about ccmusic in France, Germany, Holland and the US. I learned that …

I feel old

Time for my daily post and I have to say that I felt old when I was reading the release notes for this album. When they wrote on  http://www.foofrecords.com that they “cannot claim to be 4AD, Matador or Young Turks (yet)” I thought that many many listeners do not remember 4AD anymore. Yes this label was one of the big ones during my …

Another great release

Today I planned to write a bit bout the “big players” in the community. FMA, Jamendo, Bandcamp, Frostclick, ccmixter and so on, but then I realized, that there was a release that I was waiting for since a while… Last week “Bored with Four” have been teasing their fans with the album art and today they finally released their new EP …

The daily posts

Ryno and me thought it would be a good idea to start with daily posts over here. We did one week until I fell off the internet into to real world… The good thing is, we found out that the daily post where making a difference! (Yes we “google-analytic” spy on you!) We had quite a few people passing by, who are not …

Recorded with Solar Power

Actually I wanted to promote the remix album of Miles Bonny, but today I received an email announcing a new release. Greetings Amsterdammack, MILES BONNY just released SOLAR FOLK FUNK BASS MEDITATIONS, check it out here. Enjoy!  So I took it as a sign to put both of his July releases in today’s post. I was especially happy with the fact that he is …
