This little ditty is seriously makin’ me shake my stuff. Over an upbeat, poppy sound similar to Blur, the vocals and lyrics hit you like a stun gun. Echos of “Radio Clash” and other 80′s wonderfulness. It’s class war as dance party! And Hey! Brontosaurus is winning.

Don’t just call it Gypsy — it’s Roma. It’s Greek. It’s Balkan. Whatever it is, Parne Gadje mix seemingly disparate European folk styles with traditional and self-made instruments to create a gorgeous, organic mood. I’m not sure what “Isoun Mia Vrisi” is even about, but it doesn’t even matter when the music speaks that language we all just understand. Merry Xmas everyone. <3

Nation! After another fine year of Stephen Colbert’s satirical wingnut punditry, I offer this fitting tribute. Soaked in irony and opiate-based overdriven sounds, here is “Stephen Colbert,” from Tim Hingston and Zoe Keating, together known as Inu. Truthiness forever.

It’s a glorious electro disco dance remiXmas from Cathedral Brass. Huge classical brass band sounds charge over funky beats to bring “Joy To The World” out of the dusty cupboards of Christmas Past, into a lively party of the Jolly Present. Happy Holidays to all you music lovers everywhere!

This track by Aussies Wild Pumpkins At Midnight zips around between the Beatles, Cornershop, Spiritualized, and a small church spilling drippy organ out into the air. Cool production imparts a psychedelic buoyancy while sweet, clear vocals tug it gently back to Earth. I dig it.

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!
