Music Mining at funender.com

I discovered funender.com today -- it provides MP3 hosting services for musicians and DJs, many of whom offer free downloads. A listener community offers ratings. Unfortunately no way to link a sample here, and you must be registered (free) to listen to playlists. I think it's definitely worth the free registration.

Live from the Duncan Garage Showroom

I'm waiting for the day that my favorite venue streams their shows... but for now, I'll have to settle for Live at The Gig in Hollywood... which appears to be leading the pack on this. Obviously, it doesn't (yet) have the presence of a live performance, but there's plenty of us that can't make it to The Gig tonight, even though we might want to see who's on stage.

Konono No. 1 do CONGOTRONICS

I found Konono No. 1 from The Congo at National Geographic's World Music website. Konono No. 1 make some of their gear out of junked cars... sample some congotronics.

[edit 28 Jan 07]: You'll find videos of Konono No. 1 on the TRÂNSITO music blog... scroll down to 15/01/2007.

Syd Barrett died this week

Syd Barrett[W] started Pink Floyd in the 60's, but the band went on without him in the 70's. Still, fan sites run strong. This is a good starting point, and check out the Hype Machine playlist. Also, sample this pre-Pink Floyd demo tape: Lucy Leave.
