Peenko's Friday Freebies feat. Kowalskiy! March Roundup


Anyone aware of Peenko and his Friday Freebies, may know that recently he kindly offered me a wee weekly slot. My 'Komplimentary Korner' has been going for a while now so here's a recap of its first month!

Week #1 - Yusuf Azak has two EPs: "Gazelle" and "Light Procession" up on his website for you to download free of charge obviously.

Week #2 - Fanfarlo offered their 3-track US Radio Sessions EP up for download in exchange for your email address.

Week #3 - Former Odeon Beatclub frontman Paul Tierney is now Lonely Tourist down in Bristol. He's offering you 3 free mp3s if you send him a nice email.

Week #4 - A double helping this week with Ohbijou's 8-track Third Floor Session and a live mp3 from Conquering Animal Sound up for grabs.

The first two were strictly before I was officially offered the gig but they are worth repeating anyway. How Peenko manages to get half a dozen (and sometimes more) freebies each week is beyond me. The man is a machine!!


Yes, the acronymisation is unfortunate! Suggestions are welcomed.

Free Fanfarlo US College Radio EP

Don't mean to tread on Peenko's Friday Freebies toes here but it seems a bit of a shame to have to wait another week to get your grubby mitts on this one! Anyone already signed up to the amazing Fanfarlo's mailing list will have just noticed that they are giving away a free 3 track live EP recorded at various college radio stations in the U. S. of A during their recent stint across the pond.

All three tracks appeared on last years "Reservoir" album (Kowalskiy Top 5 album no less!). Just sign up HERE!

Tracklisting
1. I'm A Pilot
2. Finish Line
3. The Walls Are Coming Down

Top 10 of 2009: #5 - Fanfarlo


5.

Fanfarlo - Reservoir

Harold T. Wilkins Or How To Live For A Very Long Time

Finish Line


This is a wee gem of an album from the fantastic Fanfarlo. Had the privilege of seeing them twice in the space of about 12 hours earlier on in the year. First at their amazing (if I try to forget the support band) King Tuts gig and then an acoustic "guerilla" gig in the Glasgow Uni cloisters.... see my dodgy photography below!


Back to the album, if you take the best bits from Arcade Fire and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and add a wee bit of English twee (and some Swedishness)... you get the idea! Really cracking stuff and a bargain too!
