Sex and Dancing and Drugs, Oh My! Yes, I AM all about electronic dance music on New Years Eve. Must be ’cause I spent most of my early 20′s in San Francisco and Oakland nightclubs, warehouse parties and raves til all hours. It’s been a gr8 year of music here! Thank you all for hanging, hope you have enjoyed my selections. Dj Hero, take us out.

Long time Kool Keith collaborator does his best impression of an other beat genus – the RZA – on “Inspector Shingo.” A jazzy trumpet sample plays along nicely with the percussion and the choppy boom-bap of the drums making this one damn funky instrumental mp3.

Time to step it up toward New Years Eve. Here’s a funky electro-sexy pop ditty from Small Sins, AKA former Carnations singer Thomas D’Arcy. I love the production – it has some brilliant unexpected turns and the guest vocal by K-OS is gr8. Fans of Beck will agree. Hawt.

The reggaephonic vibes, as told by The Black Seeds and MC Ishu. Old skool dance hall riddims back up smart lyrical stylings with that certain bold positive flavor that is so right in this genre. Niceness!

What would a band from landlocked Tennessee know about deep sea diving? Enough to know about loneliness, darkness, cold, and the obsession to go deeper. A simple, sparse arrangement sets the stage for this glimpse into the psyche of an adventurer who rushes toward the unknown while swimming ever farther from the realities of life above the surface.

Welcome Fellow Music Lover, I’m Superfan.
Music is my passion, and I bask in its sonic glow everyday. There has been so much stupendous music made recently, regardless of the shriveling record industry.
This is something we must celebrate!
This GR8 music has somehow been ignored and relegated to a second-class status it honestly doesn’t deserve. Being the uber-fan that I am, I found it necessary to blog about this attention-worthy music. Because of my immense passion, I feel like it’s my sole responsibility to take you directly to as much of this music as I can find. I just want to share the fun with fellow music lovers, while helping the music creators.
You with me so far?
I have found a free legal MP3 download for each song I post. The artist approves of the free download. These artists hope you like their music enough to buy some. If you don’t, the artist still thanks you for taking the time to listen to their music.
Makes sense, right?
So I’m Superfan.
I give you a link to free legal MP3s, and I get to help spread the word for artists.
How much fun can one music lover have? Wouldn’t it be more fun if there were more music lovers in the mix?
I’ve been posting links to these free legal songs at the rate of one-a-day since the beginning of 2009, and I’m going to keep going as long as I have ears. For the love of music, and for other Superfans out there, please spread the word about Superfan2010, and any music I’ve found that you like.
If you don’t find any music you love, you’ll get your money back. Guaranteed!
