INOUK

[Download "Elected" from No Danger]

Inouk was introduced to me a while ago by a friend who I had known while living in New York City. Good thing she told me about them, because this shit is sick. Inouk creates real mellow and soft indie rock. At points the singers voice eerily resembles that of Citizen Cope's. They also mix it up with some real twangy guitars that reminded me a bit of Beachwood Sparks. Their album No Danger is out on Say Hey Records, and it is sweet. Also, if you are in the UK, I think Inouk is touring with Modest Mouse right now.

Michigan, my home state. Two glorious peninsulas covered with some of North America's most beautiful wildlife and scenery. I am proud to say I grew up in this great state. Slug once said, "and it hit me man, the midwest is dope, if only simply for not what we have but what we dont." I couldn't have said it better myself. The midwest, including Michigan, is full of hardworking down to earth people, and we arn't afraid or embarassed to say we are Michiganders. There was a point in my life when I thought I couldn't find what I was looking for in Michigan. I moved to New York City, and after two years the city never felt like home. I moved back home and to a new house with some old friends. It is now a year later, and I've never been happier.

Aside from the incredible wildlife and nature, Michigan has been home to some of the world's greatest musicians. Growing up, the Michigan music scene embraced me like nothing had before. I became heavily involved in any aspect of the scene I could. Whether it be writing for a zine or booking some disasterous show, I made sure I was a part of it. The tracks found on Sounds of Michigan are some of my favorite pieces of music. Some songs are from classic artists, others are from bands that were short lived and are long gone. For most people these names will be unfamiliar, but for a smaller group these bands will bring back memories of excellent times had. Please take the time to download and listen, you will be surprised at what Michigan has to offer. As always, I suggest you listen to the songs in the order listed. Oh yea, as a way to promote myself, I added a track from one of my musical endeavours. Tell me what you think.

NISENNENMONDAI

[Download "Untitled Song" from Sorede Sozo Suru Neji] EXPIRED

Yes, this is a repeat post. Everyone said that they loved this track, so I am posting it again. Oh yea, the guys at Throwaway Style and Soft Graffiti gave Small Bedroom a shout out.

Nisennenmondai are three very small girls from Japan. The name means "2000 Years of Problems" or "Year 2000 Computer Bug", I don't know. These girls blast out long, loud, instrumental tracks that just don't stop. In the last two years they have release two albums in Japan and the US, and have managed to become the sweethearts of Japan's underground noise scene. You can buy both of their albums in the US on Eclipse Records.

DANIEL JOHNSTON

[Download "Speeding Motorcycle" from Please Don't Feed The Ego] EXPIRED

For the last twenty years or so of Daniel Jonston's tremulent life and career, he has been creating some of the most original and unique music I have ever heard. His interesting approach to song writing and lo-fi recording has earned him recognition worldwide. One claim to fame is that Kurt Cobain wore a Johnston shirt at the MTV Music Awards some time ago. Please Don't Feed The Ego is by far Daniel's best album and contains all of his hits. It was released in 1994 on Eternal Yip Eye Music .
