Sick of the @artfulmark random songs yet? I’m not. I can’t think of an album I’ve looked forward to more than this new one from The Artful Dodger. This track features @cydneymarieuk on vocals and shows you how 3/4 can still groove. Beat Harder by artfulmark

Speaking of random song of the day, here’s another new demo from @artfulmark.  I can’t wait for the new Artful Dodger album to drop. New Design by artfulmark

This song became more appropriate when, yesterday, I found out that my eardrum really did bust. [audio:rsotd8.mp3]

Things being tight in this economy, e & I decided not to buy anything for each other for Christmas but instead make things for each other.  The only thing I felt competent enough to make (without doing something lame like a website or a desktop wallpaper or something) was music, so I pushed out a […]

Somehow, @artfulmark aka Mark Hill aka The Artful Dodger started following me on Twitter.  This is literally the first time someone that I’m a fan of started following me instead of the other way around.  Consider my mind blown.  Possibly it has something to do with my RSotD yesterday.  At any rate, this is a […]

I know it’s out of character from my normal fare of doom and gloom music, but I just can’t help bouncing in my seat whenever I listen to anything by The Artful Dodger… [audio:rsotd6.mp3]

I’ve been listening to this album in the car.  Something about Nick Cave singing in falsetto like a southern blues singer just tickles me. [audio:rsotd5.mp3]

This Plastikman remix from @slighter makes me want to DJ again, just so I can spin a set around this sick bassline. Plastikman – Ask Yourself [Visitor Seven Remixes] by colinc

Completely bypassing #1 and 2 (since this is actually the third random song, after all), we move onto rsotd3.  This track is from when I did tech support and stumbled on an indie music site that had some free downloads.  The band is Nanang Tatang and I’ve been trying to find anything else by them […]

Continuing with the non-linear numbering system, I thought I’d include a song that sort of seemed to fit the day the other day, which planted the seed for the song of the day meme… [audio:rsotd-1.mp3]

The first of anything is always depressing.  If you never continue with whatever it is, that #1 is just staring at you, taunting.  So, I had this idea of doing a “random song of the day” thinking that it would be pretty cool, be a way to share the music I love and what I’m […]

I’ve flipped back to iTunes as my default audio player.  I was avoiding it for a long, long time for a lot of reasons but when WinAmp randomly stopped playing OGG files (which I have a lot of), and I couldn’t fix it, I installed the Xiph QuickTime Components plugin and downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  And I […]
