The first band in this week’s show, The Unknownn, is giving away a free track from their new album. All you have to do is email them at friends@theunknownn.com to find out how to download it.
Next week marks the 150th episode of AMPed, the official podcast of the Association of Music Podcasting. To celebrate, all the members are submitting one of their favorite songs from 2008. Given the number of fantastic releases that have passed through the lounge this year — Thievery Corporation, Natalie Walker, The Atomica Project, Science for Girls, All India Radio, The Shanghai Restoration Project, etc. — it wasn’t easy to come up with just one.
I kept coming back to this song, though. Take a listen to this segment to find out why…
After a week away, I am back with a brand new set of tunes that I think y’all will enjoy quite a bit. I’ve got quite a few more in the pipeline, too, including a fantastic new compilation from the Blackfish Productions label that will be out at the start of next month. Be sure you stick around for that one…
I’ve let a few things slide over the last couple of weeks, and one of those things is listening to music submissions and digging around for new tunes to play. So I’m going to take this week off and give myself a little more time to take care of that. If you want to catch up on back episodes of Dave’s Lounge, you can download them here.
I would also encourage you to check out the Properly Chilled podcast, which features some extra-long and excellent playlists. If you use iTunes, click here.
As if landing Thievery Corporation last month wasn’t enough, this week I bring you a track from another legendary name in the world of trip hop — Tricky. His new album, Knowle West Boy, is available now through all the major online retailers. Just click through one of the links below to add it to your collection.
You’ll notice another theme playing out through the middle of the show. Sometimes, things just work out that way…
