Chemtrails

Here are a few favesongs from various compilations we've come across lately and not-so-lately. All are available for free or name-your-price download as of this posting. Each widget has all the songs on each compilation, in case you want to do further exploration.

We also like the HOLY song (#7), which has been popping up on lots of faveblogs of late.

The original was the first downloadable we ever posted at this here little blog of ours. Sigh.

We also really "dig" the ones by The Luck of Eden Hall (#1), and Os Noctambulos (#11).

We also are enamored of #7 and #9.

Got a whole lotta gas-and-oily-smelling fuzz on this comp.

TAL Compilation Faves: The Beginner's Mynd , 8x8, The Planets Collide, Distant Creatures

Sad we were to hear that Mr. Nathan Ford will be somewhat less active bloggily than in times past. Glad we were that he promised continued compilations for and from The Active Listener. Below are our favorites from the latest, Sampler 43. These and the remaining thirteen are available for name-your-price download.

Actively Listening to The Beginner's Mynd, New Speedway, The Vickers, Invisible Ships, & Paul Messis

Looks like hours.

Nathan's back with Episode 10 of The Active Listener Sampler series (TALSs), with pseventeen pselected psych and pop tunes that will groovily activate your ears and, perhaps, other organs. And speaking of organs, here's our favetune from #10. You can download it with the entire LP on a NAME YOUR PRICE basis. (Message to pselfs: Be sure to thank Nathan and the bands.)



All of this reminds us that until a few seconds hence, we've not posted several previous TALS faves, all of which are available on an NYP basis by downloading the whole LPs. (We blush to be such slothful bloggers. Forgive? Didn't even notice? Phwewww`````````!)





We really like this next bloke's music but find his attitude toward/eschewal of digital distribution dismaying. Therefore, feel lucky Nathan has made this one available.
