Spoon

Nirvana

So I just found the lamest entry on Download dot com. Yes, it's for Nirvana. Not only is the descriptive text seriously lacking, but they put up one measly streaming clip of "Drain You" (not even a full stream, or god forbid an mp3). And while I really like "Drain You", I can think of... maybe one or two different songs that might give the Nirvana newbie a better sense of the band.

I mean... C'mon!

I can only think of one person to blame... Courtney Love.

Seriously though, you should check out the one and only user review left on Download dot com by someone named Napster89.

Clem Snide

Download dot com has got three tracks from Clem Snide, an alt-country band from Brooklyn.

Check 'em out here.

Leadbelly

Blues Sunday continues here at Musicjuice Gimme Tinnitus...

Huddie Ledbetter a.k.a. Leadbelly had a tendency to resolve conflicts with violence. He was discovered by John and Alan Lomax in the Louisiana State Penitentiary in July 1933 while they were touring the south for the Library of Congress.
