*New Single and Free Download from The Strokes*

by Carmen Cruz

Ohhhhhh The Strokes!!
The guys have released a brand new single called 'One Way Trigger'. Julian Casablancas' voice takes on a new pitch, and it's blended into a song that sounds like the theme music for an 80's Nintendo game. Kinda trippy! Check it out.


 If you like what you hear, you can get this tune for free from The Strokes' website.
The boys are set to release a brand new album later this year.
Cool-e-o.

Enjoy!

New Album From Esthero + A Free Download

by Carmen Cruz

It's finally here!!!! It's been 7 looooong years since Esthero has released a full length album (the last one was 2005’s Wikked Lil’ Grrrls), and on Tuesday, Everything Is Expensive finally made it's full debut.

Here's an awesome article about the Canadian singer and her new album.

Here's the first single off the album. It's called 'Never Gonna Let You Go'.



This album is a solid mix of pop, trip-hop, and mellow stuff.

Speaking of mellow stuff, here's another tune off the new album. It's called 'Once'.



Like whatcha hear? You can download this track for free off Esthero's website.

What makes this album (and artist!) extra cool is the way you can purchase it. Esthero is using a 'Pledge Music' program, where you can pledge $10 for a digital download of the album, $25 for a signed CD, and then the pledge list goes KA-RAY-ZEE from there. For a $150 pledge, you can go for a hike in L.A's Griffith Park with Esthero (btw, that pledge option is now sold out!).
$500 = Korean BBQ date with Esthero in Hollywood
$800 = A private 2 hour karaoke booth party with the singer
$2000 = A lullaby sang to you, in person
$150,000 = Esthero will tattoo your initials on her ass. On - Her - ASS.

**fyi: 10% of all the money Esthero raises will be going to the charity of her choice. **

Dear GAD this woman is awesome. 

Want more info? Check out her Pledge Music Page.
Enjoy.
