I'm Out Of The Loop With Things It Seems

[Shortcut To Moncton]

hi,

 

haven't been here in a while and for the most part, haven't paid attention to music for about the past 5-6 months. my new years resolution is to really get back into music. i wrote down what my favourite albums were in the best of 2007 thread and what not but looking through it, there's lot a probably should hear.

 

in the past, i had other music downloading forums that i stole music off of but all of those sites keep getting shut down, for example: i really liked ecetera forums. does anyone know any of those kinds of sites that new and old indie/alternative albums can be downloaded off?

 

looking at the aforementioned thread, i want to really hear the latest animal collective album but i have nowhere to gain it from. also, i do not use bit torrents so do not dare to suggest that to me. i would like to hear the newest bloc party cd as well. call me a racist but he actually sounds like the singer of the dears to me and that's pretty neat. i have three spoon albums and didn't even hear ga ga ga ga ga. i might as well give eddie vedder's album a listen AND there's a lot of unfamiliar bands that i saw in the top albums of 2007 thread that i wouldn't mind looking into and loving to discover music again.

 

in summary, any great websites where i can download albums off of and that hasn't been taken down yet?

 

bye.

Probably your best bet for indie stuff:

http://nodatta.blogspot.com/

http://robinhoodofindiemusic.blogspot.com/ <<< TONS of whatever you could possibly want indie-wise.

 

This one has a lot of electronic stuff, but also as you can see from the genres list, indie also, rock, experimental, whatever:

http://sonicprocess.blogspot.com/

 

Random indie/whatevers:

http://mi-tunes.blogspot.com/

http://indie-ground.blogspot.com/

http://www.myinlandempire.co.uk/ <<< Has Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam on the first page, scroll down a bit

 

Hope that helps. If you want blogs with more variety let me know.

thank you. there's a lot there!

 

 

edit:

these are really, really great but do you or anyone else know any sites (ie: message boards a la the old etceteraforums.org) that features albums/genres to download in sub-categories and that aren't scattered by dates in a blog?

Nope.

 

I usually just use the search features on blogs (and Google Blog Search) and get whatever I want. And really when I'm not working I spend a lame amount of time browsing and downloading randomly. I've never even heard of etceteraforums.org. Sounds rad though.
