October 2010 Downloads
What with no Amie Street and no Great Guvera Giveaway this month, it was light. The whole list for October is:
CocoRosie - La Maison De Mon Reve - I know this band is pretty divisive, but I absolutely love their stuff. I prefer Grey Oceans to this one, but still quite enjoyable.
The Dresden Dolls - s/t: I've said it before and I'll say it again: I have such a crush on Amanda Palmer.
Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out: Somehow I've gotten to this stage in my life without really ever having heard any Sleater-Kinney. It's good, but not high on my list to get more.
Superchunk - No Pocky for Kitty (Remastered): Another album I can't believe I didn't already have.
Diego Garcia - You Were Never There: Little two song EP recommended to me by Katrina. Nice 60s sounding pop with latin guitar flourishes. I enjoy it.
That's all for this month. Next month will be a lot more though, as I use my free eMu month and get started at the Limewire Store.

This is indeed a strange coincidence,
The Edward Ka-Spel lyrics I posted a couple of hours ago at Katrina's thread was copied from Amanda Palmers blog from a post that is only 2 days old, where she just goes on and on about her love affair with The Legendary Pink Dots in the most colourful language. Link
- I've never been into The Dresden Dolls, now I just have to.
I thought there wouldn't be much this month, but I was wrong.

BT - I suppose the boy should count as a download as I have listened to him quite a bit in the last week and half.
I also grabbed the Makounichi Bento, but forgot to list it earlier. It's quite good.

Malk - Saltwater Band -- veteran Indigenous Australian rock band, lead singer is Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu whose solo album was a bit of a "world music" hit last year (bleargh - can you believe that an Aboriginal Australian record gets nominated for Best WORLD Music record at the Australian music awards? And Malk was listed under World Music when reviewed in the Sydney Morning Herald the other week, which just goes to show the whole bankruptcy of that "world music" idea. /soapbox)

Fever Ray - Fever Ray (this really fits well with my current Matthew Dear obsession)
