Holy cow. It was exactly 2 years ago (!?) today that I launched The Burning Ear from the butt wedge of my old couch. Since then it’s been nothing but a pleasure to share all of these great jams with you guys and gals. To all you regular readers and commenters, I love you all and look forward to another two! However, we all know 2 years olds don’t have patience for speeches so lets get right to the presents! I’ve got three gifts for you all, of which the first TWO are based on the number 2! Read more

♫ Sleigh Bells – A/B Machines (French Horn Rebellion Remix) / I get a little bummed out every time I hear this but that is only cause French Horn Rebellion will be opening for Cut Copy this Saturday IN WARSAW but I will be on vacation. How’s that for shitty luck? Well, my trip is going to be pretty epic in it’s own right, a lot like this remix, so I can’t really complain. Now get dirty with this glitch-heavy take on the Sleigh Bells shredder!

Now that Safe’s “Twenty Years On” has landed near the top of the best song’s of the year list, you may be wondering what else this wild-haired goat-enthusiast has to offer? Well wonder no further because he’s got a whole 10 song EP that he is offering for free download! The whole collection is delicate and sparse dreaminess that is perfect for a sleepy Sunday afternoon in the sun or just general mellow time. As if that endorsement wasn’t enough, remember that Safe is managed by, and on the label of, neighboring Best Song alums Das Racist. Completely different musical styles, but both bands landed in the top 3 of this years list. They are doing something right over at Greenhead Records! Anyway, back to Safe. The Safe EP is groovy hazy awesomeness that awaits your ears and is also available on cassette and VHS for those inclined! Get on it and enjoy some music that wont make you sweat so much!
