Local Music Alert!!!!!!! - Slam Donahue

Just found out about Slam Donahue. He is one of the DIY, shoegaze, indie-pop guys and he is from Connecticut. I can't find out too much about the guy, it appears he has no albums out...just playing local gigs around the area. He is playing the Tweefort CD release party tonight @ Cafe 9 in New Haven. 'These Things' is the song featured on the CD. You can listen to some of his music on his Myspace. I found him through this blog post  over at Ct Indie. Marijuana Cops is a new video just posted a few days ago.

Magic Man - Real Life Color

I think I just found my new favorite album of '10. Okay, maybe that was a quick draw...I'm still on my first spin, but this is fantastic music. The Boston based duo, Magic Man, started making their music together during a summer spent in France. They took what they had and brought it back to the states, where they tweaked and edited it. It's definitely got that lofi indie feel, but its very electronica too. This music reminds me of Freelance Whales, with a little Modest Mouse feel.

The best part, the band has decided to give this album away for the lovely price of free. So do yourself a favor...head on over to http://magicman.bandcamp.com/ download this album fo freeeee!!!!

Seriously, go download it.
