Podington Bear
I’m back….kind of. Still don’t have internet, but I’m tired of not posting so I treked through the damn cold to the library to post. Today we focus on Podington Bear.
Whether or not he’s a real electronic music making bear as he claims is irrelevant. What is important here is that not only is his music good in all sorts of relaxing, electronic ways, he’s also writing three songs a week from here on out. There’s a Podington Podcast every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and considering he’s gotten through January without a bad song yet, I’m quite impressed.
While most people stopped coming by lately b/c of my internet being non-existant, good ‘ol Podington kept the emails coming and I always appreciate the effort. I’ll probably get him 50 listens if that, but I’ll do what I can. Usually someone who’s on their own musically will have the drive and excitement to get their music heard, but the music itself isn’t near as polished as the rest simply b/c of lack of professional equipment. I don’t know what Podington uses, but his songs are highly polished, downtempo, yet usually upbeat electronic songs that I’ve just put on repeat as of late. You should know by now this type of electronic music is my forté, and any chance I get to add another artist from this genre to my collection is fine by me.
For now, the podcast and mp3’s are competely free at his site. You can download the mp3’s there, or simply subscribe to his podcast, which never fails to impress every other day of the week. I don’t know what else to say besides just telling you to go to his site and listen to the playlist he’s got up of all his songs. This is the kind of music you put in your collection and save until the appropriate, laid back time, then put it on and let the music do the rest.
Enjoy! I’m off to the studio to record our first project in Intro to Commercial Music. Creating music to be used on campus when they put people on hold. Should be interesting. I’ll let you know what crappy music I end up creating.
