Sound Supp.ly Drop 5

I haven't posted much here for a while. One of the last times was celebrating the last, great, drop from Sound Supp.ly, Drop 4. Well, it seems that two months have passed, and another drop has around 8 days until it is removed once again. If you are as yet unaware of what happens here, basically the deal is amazing. 10 albums, for $15 (£9.50) which you can get from here. What is even better about this latest drop is that it features incredible new albums from Circa Survive, Pswingset and John Frusciante. Yes, he is the one from Red Hot Chilli Peppers. This is a high quality set of releases, with some wonderful new acts for us all to discover. And so you should. Now.

If you need more incentive to do so, watch this:

Sound Supp.ly Drop 4

It's that time again, Sound Supp.ly is back. This time with drop four. Included this time are brilliant albums from Civil Twilight, Kevin Devine, Conduits, Mansions and LA Dispute, amongst a whole heap of others. As I write this, there are six and a half days left to download these five albums, and five more, for only $15 (that's just under £9.50). This year I've found Sound Supp.ly to be the best way to discover new music in affordable, legal way, in which artists get properly paid for their work. Definitely worth supporting, whether you do it bi-monthly like I do, or pay $75 for an annual subscription.

Sound Supply - Drop 3

First of all, you need to click this link. Now. Did you click it yet? Now you've clicked, you'll be starting to see what all the fuss is about.

The gimmick, if you can call it that without being unintentionally insulting, is easy. Ten albums, available in a bulk download, for 10 days (starting today) for $15. That's just under £10 of your English money. Or, not very much. Or an album for a pound.

I got into this a couple of months ago (they release bi-monthly it seems) and discovered the newest records by Jeremy Enigk and The Xcerts, as well as catching up with TW Walsh (Pedro the Lion) and several others.

This time, it's even better. Albums from The Dear Hunter, Asobi Seksu, the quite brilliant Via Audio, as well as Hellogoodbye and Small Cities are the highlights here. Highlights that is, apart from the return of The Get Up Kids, one of the best bands, in like, ever. You can get this deal for a little over 9 days. You would be an idiot not to. An idiot. The Dear Hunter's record is blowing my mind right now.

Sound Supply offer a $75 annual subscription deal too. Tempting isn't it? Especially when the music is this good...

10 albums, for $15 every two months. It's like the best "introduce me to new music" idea I've seen in years. Click the link now, or watch that there intro video below. But do it. Do it now.



I'm off to do some serious listening...
