Free Music Friday: Jonathan Davis, Wilco w/ Fleet Foxes, Witchita Records

Jonathan Davis - Got Money

Jonathan Davis, the voice of Korn as his website proudly points out, has written a song about people having money. It's pretty odd, possibly a message to RnB stars with its wobbly vocals and various RnB references. I'll have to listen to it a bit more before I make any more sense of it. Oh yeah, and it features Slipknot's Jim Root.

Wilco w/ Fleet Foxes - I Shall Be Released

Wilco and Fleet Foxes are totally into politics, and they wish more people would be. They've got a live cover of Mr Dylan's I Shall Be Released on their website for you on one condition: That you pretend to be American and say you'll vote in the elections.

Witchita Records - free sampler

Witchita Records are host to people like Bloc Party, Simian Mobile Disco, Those Dancing Days and loads others. They're giving away a free album sampler on their website with tracks from loads of their artists. If you're into broadening your horizons you should totally go for it.

Free Music Friday: Trivium, Iglu & Hartly

Hello all, welcome to Friday (okay, it's actually Saturday but I'm only human). This week you can have some screamy music and a sonic milkshake

Trivium - Kirisute Gomen

Trivium doing what Trivium do best, and that is making Trivium-style music. It's the first single from their upcoming fourth album Shogun, slated for release on September 30th. I have a feeling this track is going to be free for a limited period (it was on the Roadrunner Records website for 24 hours at the end of July), so get it while it's hot.

Iglu & Hartly - Tomorrow

This is interesting. At first the song sounds like it's going to be dance or electro or something with your classic synth intro. But then you find that actually this song is more rock and rap. "a sonic milkshake, a genre blending, culture-defying laser show" is how last.fm describes them. Either way, it's definitely an uplifting song that you could do worse than to download.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY, SEE YOU SOON GUYS.

Free Music: Various Artists

This week I have plenty of music for you lovely lot, so I'll just let you get on with the downloads and will keep the words to a minimum.

By the way, I'm going to aim at doing this every fortnight now until further notice because I'm a busy busy bee.

Coldplay - Death Will Never Conquer [Direct]

Chris Martin plays the piano. This is a track that didn't make it to Viva La Vida, so the band are just giving it away.

Elliot Minor - Jessica (Alternate version)

The harmony-driven emo kids dish out a slower, piano and acoustic fuelled version of their song Jessica. Even if you haven't heard the original it's a great track.

The Miserable Rich - Over and Over (Hot Chip cover)

There's nothing quite like a stripped down strings version of a classic electropop song. Saw these guys at Beachdown, did a pretty good performance.

Gloria Cycles - Wonderbus [Direct]

Another Beachdown act. A bit of a short, racy and quite catchy song about buses and women.

Peggy Sue - Superman

Peggy Sue converse with Superman, who tells tales of his lament. With vocals reminiscent of Kate Nash and a very acoustic/folk vibe. Worth listening to just for the brilliant lyrics.
