WFMU's MySpace Band Friends, Pick Your Favorites, Round 4!!!
Good morning everybody! We're back with another healthy helping of mp3 treats courtesy of WFMU's lengthy myspace friends list! The gist, in case you've missed the earlier installments: listen to the song, check the profile if you want, and then vote!
The band or bands who get the most "Pump it" votes each week will be forever exalted in the form of my FIRST EVER MARATHON PREMIUM called "In MySpace, No One Can Hear You Scream", offered for pledges of $75 or more during WFMU's 50th Anniversary fundraising Marathon (going on now!!!). With the artists' gracious permission, the winning tracks from the 1st portion of this year will be compiled onto one CD, packaged lovingly, and mailed to your home in exchange for some dosh for the station's perilously emaciated coffers. Last week's faves included the Wobblies and Eleanor Roosevelt. Congratulations, band buddies! Who will be next? It's up to you!!
A couple of notes to all you commenters out there: first, this is a nice friendly contest!!! Last week, I had to take down an mp3 because a couple of people's not-so-nice comments made an 8-year-old girl cry her eyes out. If you must criticize, please be constructive! I can't take any more tears. Secondly: pledge! pledge! pledge!
Enough lecture!!! On to Music!!
"Er_ist_ja_nur_ein_Mann" by BCF ("Big Crazy Family" - "Rock/Pop" from Puchenau, Austria)
"Casablanca" by So Cow (Pop from Tuam, Ireland!)
"BASF Husband" by Copydex ("Copydex glues old music back together from recordings of recordings of recordings. In an intuitive recomposition that is always improvised. Copydex currently uses a Roland SP404 to make that music.")
"2Violao e 1Balde" by Irmãos Panarotto ("Experimental / Alternative / Minimalist" from Chapecó, Santa Catarina Brazil )
"Toboggan" by George Hakkikila ("I sing and play electric and acoustic guitar. Sometimes I just beat the hell out of the guitar.")
"Jet Party" by The Soap ("Punk /Rock /Garage" girl group from Japan)
"Zeitgeist Apocalypse" by Mamuthones ("Mamuthones is the solo project of Alessio Gastaldello, founder member of Jennifer Gentle")
"Saraband" by Rococo Pagoda (One man outfit from Fairfax, VA who lists his influences as "ghostly sounds at night, metal bending and engines revving")
"Ethnocore" by Magic Carpathians ("Psychedelic / Electroacoustic / Experimental" from Krakow Poland - heavily played on WFMU)
"Luxury Sedan" by Holmes (Jersey's own!! A Three Chord Monte favorite!)
playing pump it or dump it can be dangerous.. be careful.

I can't believe Casablanca is losing.
So cow is pretty good! I think they have been played on wfmu before... I'm pretty sure i've heard their song "Moon Geun Young" on in the daytime.

Mobius strip alert!
If you follow the Copydex link, and follow enough links from there, you may eventually reach this page, and if you read down far enough, you may find a coincidental WFMU mention.

Oh! Just saw this.
Well, I could make all my friends into vote so I can skew the figures (the myspace way)...but gah, I'll let democracy prevail!
Thanks though Megan ^.^
