Myspace Monday Mix...

I’ve understood that Facebook is growing a whole lot faster than Myspace these days, but Myspace still remains my favorite networking and "finding-new-music" tool. Below some of the stuff I’ve learned about in (what seems to be) the "old-fashioned" way.

Anyone remember God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me by Aberdeen City? If so, you might be interested in listening to the new demo track Whose Blood Is It? I know I was!
+ Whose Blood Is It

The Imaginary Orchestra of Mr. Kite keeps recording and giving away new songs, and so does The Papertiger Sound. If you enjoyed the previous works of these two bands, the new tracks certainly won't a disappointment!
+ The Imaginary Orchestra of Mr. Kite – Mind The Gap
+ The Papertiger Sound – A Chorus

Swedish indie pop band Bye bye bicycle shares a new track from the forthcoming EP This Is West. Of course the band hails from Gothenburg!
+ Footsteps

Finally J.A. recommends Spanish shoegazers Then (3 more freebies there). Always great being introduced to a new shoegaze inspired band!
+ Freefall

One more Christmas present....

This time it's a free holiday single by US alternative rock band Aberdeen City called Just Like Christmas. The track was recorded in a hotel room last week, so this isn't the best produced song you'll ever hear, but still very sweet. The "b-side" is a previously unreleased version of the brilliant single God is Going To Get Sick of Me.
+ Just Like Christmas
+ God Is Going To Get Sick of Me (Highway Version)
+ God Is Going To Get Sick of Me (Single Version)

After the M.I.A. experience it's time to get back on track, so I recommend that you check out Boston based band Aberdeen City. Not the most original band the world has ever seen/heard and their inspirational sources certainly include Interpol and The Killers (and probably a few others I cannot think of now). But the two songs available from debut album The Freezing Atlantic are nice guitar laden and melodic ones, so this band could very well be worth a closer look!
