Dot Dash & The Airplanes - A Sabbath-Day Jaunt

Symbiosis, wot?

We were enjoying our now-daily jaunt over to I Don't Hear A Single and followed Mr. Valentine's (oh, yeah, only 10 more shopping days until) helpful link over to The Beautiful Music site. There we found 18 free and legals, our favorite of which was by longtime D. C. faveband Dot Dash. You can sample and download the song there, but we also wondered if it might be at one of their Bandcamp pages. It was, and is posted below. 

Then we noticed that a Bandcamper we follow had liked the song, too, so we went over to her Collection and scrolled down. It wasn't long before we discovered a terrific song we hadn't heard by longtime Fayetteville, Arkansas faveband The Airplanes. And sure enough, it was available for name-your-price download.

That concludes the textual portion of this post, unless we think of something else to say, which is highly unlikely.

Dot Dash: Earthquakes & Tidal Waves

We've been enjoying D.C. powerpoppers Dot Dash for several years now and were pretty darned excited to get their email announcing a new LP just out on the Beautiful Music label. After listening to Earthquakes & Tidal Waves, we were Richter scalishly shaking in our booties. We in fact loved every song and mega-loved six of them (#s 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, & 9 below). Ten for ten doesn't often happen in these particular ears. Of course we weren't totally surprised, seeing as the LP was produced by one of our all-time favorite music men, Mitch Easter, and recorded at his Fidelitorium in North Carolina.

Although DD generously made song #3, "Rainclouds," available for free download, nervous and quivering and stuff, we officiously/humbly asked whichever Dot Dasher had written us if we might host 'n' post our very favorite from the LP. Hence our pleasure in planting "The Winter of Discontent" below. You need to know, though, that it can only be available for free download for one week. After that the link goes "poof." So here it is and below that is "Raincloud" and below that is a fabulous album we feel certain will be one of our very favorites of the year.
