Yeah, I know - the post title is dumb. Let’s just all agree on that so we can move on from there to other things.
Other things like the new album from Eugene Francis Jnr.
I know I’ve had a lot about Eugene on here lately, but that’s just because I really dig his music, and his publicity peeps keep sending me great new stuff. So… I’ve become a servant of The Man now I guess, putting up whatever comes my way. But at least I get to score free stuff.
Well, now that I’ve confessed that I’m a sellout, let me move on to the album itself. I scored a pre-release copy of The Golden Beatle last week from the nice folks at Legion Presents, and it’s almost everything I hoped it would be.
Well, my upload service, HotLinkFiles seems to be having problems. All the MP3s that should be hosted there are not accessible, and it won’t let me upload any new ones. What the heck’s going on? A lot of the pages don’t seem to be working anymore on their site either.
Anybody have any ideas on what’s going on?
I had a pretty sweet new single from Eugene Francis JNR (who I’ve posted on here and here) to send your way, but since I can’t do that, I’ll just tell you to get on over here to listen to the song ”Beginners” and keep an eye out for The Golden Beatle to be released on April 28th.
When I figure out what’s going on with HotLinkFiles, I’ll be sure to put up the MP3 for you to download. Until then, just envision the most awesome, inspiring, emotionally-moving song you’ve ever heard and take it down maybe one or two notches. Seriously, the song is great, as all of EFJ’s stuff is, and I can’t wait to get the whole album.
To pre-order the new album go here and check out the trailer here.
I usually post music here that’s made by people who call themselves Christians, as far as I’m aware anyway. This isn’t because I think Christians make better music (I wish) or because I think Christians should never listen to music by non-Christians (I’d be sad) or because Christian music inherently has a better message every time (it doesn’t).
This is just because there are very few sites doing this. Few places exist that are exploring the indie side of music that Christians are making, so I decided to make one. I like to support Christian artists because I think they deserve attention from the world, and I think fellow Christians want to know they’re out there.
Eugene Francis Jnr makes no claims to being a Christian, but I just love his music, so I made an exception (here) and today I’m making another.
I need to take a day off from the Superbowl with something easy and happy to post about.
If you haven’t heard of Eugene Francis Jnr from London, be sure to check him out today at his MySpace. He’s doing some really creative alt folk stuff that I think you’ll all enjoy. Mostly happy fun positive stuff.
While you’re at it, take a gander at a trippy, Gulliver’s Travels-influenced video of his first single “Poor Me” by clicking here.
And now, for the best part, he’s releasing his first full-length album in April, so be sure to get your hands on a copy of The Golden Beatle in a few months. I know I will.
