Black Bear - mp3 review

August 4th, 2006 r8e8rcom

Sorry Matt, you heard this one already, but I just fucking LOVE this track.  There’s a lot of BLOG buzz about this band, but when I tried to find out more about them I had a hard time.  Apprently it’s a one man band deal and he’s got a full release that I ordered from the label (couldn’t find it anywhere else, trying to get Insound to carry it and when we do you guys should all buy it immediately!!!!).  Anyway, now that I’ve professed my love for it, feel free to rip it apart.

Here lies Black Bear:

Jeremy Enigk - mp3 review (first post)

August 3rd, 2006 r8e8rcom

Hey guys/girls,
  So I started sending Matt mp3s over email the other day cuz the bitch wont listen to the CDs I give him (who doesn’t listen to FREE cds of new music). But anyway I thought it could  be kind of a fun idea to create a regular mp3 review email group.  I get enough new music at insound to prolly send a new track everyday (maybe more??), but if anyone else had stuff to send that’d be even better.  I think initially group email would be more fun but if we feel cool enough eventually we could even start our own, dare I say,………BLOG, thus completing our transition into true NYC hipsters!!!!

I realize some people cant receive big files in email, or just may not want to so if your not cool with this just let me know and I’ll take you off the list.  Hopefully you guys will think of this as a FUN way find new music.  I def. don’t want it to feel like a chore, or like you have to write a book or anything.  If you are cool, just reply all with what you think of the track after you listen to it.

So lets start big.  Here’s a track from Jeremy Enigk’s upcoming solo release:
