New Tunes from David Byrne and Dirty Projectors

David ByrneThey first teamed up together to create a brilliant track for the Dark Was the Night project, and now they’ve gone at it again; Dirty Projectors have collaborated with Talking Head David Byrne. This new tune is not of the same vein as the formerly released track, “Knotty Pine,” but it showcases the skills of both groups.  Don’t forget, you’re supposed to be anticipating the upcoming album from the Dirty Projectors, Bitte Orca.  More on that later; here’s “Ambulance Man.”

Del Gives Away New Album

1204029360-1Less than a year after his last release, Del the Funky Homosapien is dropping a new and totally free album called Funk Man: The Stimulus Package to all you fans of the hip-hop virtuoso.  The album is available track by track or in one big file on Del’s fancy new Band Camp page (a healthy alternative to crappy myspace pages).  Here’s first single “Get it Right Now!” which I’m likin’ a lot more than last single “Bubble Pop”.

Wilco Cover Woody Guthrie

wilcoWilco just recorded a cover of Woody Guthrie song “Jolly Banker” and they are giving the song away for free on their website.  The only catch is that the band is asking that you make a donation of at least two dollars to the Woody Guthrie foundation.  This song reminds me of the old days when Wilco had more twang to their sound and weren’t a jam band yet.  Wilco also recently put out a live DVD called “Ashes of American Flags” which you can buy here.
