HOME OF THE MUSIC ECOSYSTEM
Once I found out, the band is named after the School of the Seven Bells, a mythical South American pickpocket training academy, I got curious. Well they’re as good as they are clever with names. The School of the Seven Bells wins the MP3 Jackpot this week with “Half Asleep.” This shoe gazer special is deeper than I realized after just one listen. This song floats thru my brain, GR8!

Once a week, for the year 2010, one MP3 won the MP3 Jackpot. These MP3s are special. As a music lover, I feel compelled to bring these compositions to your attention. With traditional media drowning, there doesn't seem to be anyone covering the important NEW music that's being created. I hope you enjoy some of these MP3s, all free with artist's permission.
U buying the MP3Jackpot Winners downloads helps pays our bills, and keeps the Fun Fun Fun happening. Check it out.
Fun Fun Fun Recordings is proud to announce the release of the MP3 Jackpot Winners CD, compiled by the Godfather of Loudpop, Matthew King Kaufman. Nineteen of the most popular songs on the Internet, some of them downloaded over a million times.
Says Kaufman, “I grew up listening to AM radio and buying 45′s. Music has always been core to my emotional health. I’m an ‘out of the box’ type. I was so jazzed that when in one decade, we got digital music, the MP3 file format, and the Internet. This convergence of chaos created a music business world where more and more good music was being made, and less and less new music was being heard. So I compiled this CD for all of you who might like what I like, and missed it during the records business’s dark ages. I like music that has something to say. I find I gravitate to songs that have a unique point of view. I hope you will listen, and maybe buy the CD download or any of the tracks. If you want to insure there will always be good music, you must buy the music. The Fun Fun Fun recording artists thank you for listening."
