These Wouldn't (Song)drop: The High Learys, Woods, Radiohearts, The Graffiti Crimes, The Ramisco Maki Maki Rocking Horse, Dream Boys

We tried to feed these to Songdrop, but for some reason it wouldn't ingest. We like-or-love-'em so much we wanted to make sure you hear them, so voila.

By the way, as you may know, on the left-hand side of this page we generally try to feed you free and legal downloadables, but this might be changing. A highly valued longtime visitor said such punctilio isn't really necessary in an age of subscription music platforms. We would very much like to know how much you value the freely/legally downloadable aspect of this and other blogs, so drop us a comment if you care to weigh in. Thanks.

Mad About the Mack (& Expwy, Dream Boys, Chloë Sunshine, Shadows At Play, & Yuck, amongst others)

Back in June we happened upon The Mad Mackerel, an excellent music site blogcasting out of Charlbury, Oxon. We quickly got on the mailing list and suggest you do the same.

We don't know if TMM is "mad" as in pissed-off pisciperson or insane ichthyoid or wtf, but we do know this is one busy blogger (as in spawning an average of 2.5 posts per day during the past two months). We are excited to be able to alert you to some of the songs the Mackerel alerted us to in a Best of the Month: July 2013 post and highly recommend you visit the post and troll through the other 31 numbers. Many thanks to TMM for schooling us in such great tuneage.
