Second DiS Download Compilation



Drums please...

Following last months experiment we've fine tuned things even more with our download store partners KarmaDownload and this time 'round we've put together a more refined playlist. Enjoy...

Martha Wainwright
Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole
This song about her father Loudon Wainwright III, has gone down in musical legend already and was one of the highlights of Glastonbury 2005. This is taken from her self-titled debut album out now on Drowned in Sound.

Johnathan Rice
Acrobat
After wowing audiences at our RoTa matinee on Saturday, Johnathan Rice steps out and produces a some of the most heartfelt songwriting we've heard in a long time. His debut album is out this week on One Little Indian.

Adam Green
Born to Run
Another in Adam's astounding back-catalogue of covers, this Bruce Springsteen song is given a new lease of life in Green's inimitable country-fi style.

Apartment
Everyone Says I'm Paranoid
A band who, by all intents and purposes should be huge. This, their first single proves that the UK can deliver intensely emotional tunesmithery with heaps of class and attitude. They also release a heavier new single 'Patience is Proving' this week.

Malcolm Middleton
Monday Night Nothing
Taken from the Arab Strap man's second solo effort, Monday Night Nothing speaks of bleak decisions and dire results. A true man of dour genius, this is essential late-night listening.

DiScuss: Favourites? Are we misguided rip-off merchants? Do you own all these tracks already?

I've stolen most of those track already

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

Make a nice wee CD/Vinyl sampler EP thingy and I'll buy it.

Second DiS Download Compilation

stick it on vinyl, charge me 2 pounds, and i'm yours.

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

If only we could afford to do this. The price of licensing stuff and the time it takes to get permission is crippling, thats why our compilation album hasn't happened yet, the investment needed is massive.

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

i'll tell you what else is massive...










australia.

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

perhaps a one sided ten or twelve inch would be worthwhile?........you can halve the cutting costs, which as I'm sure you know, is where the most of the monkey gets soaked up.......

Second DiS Download Compilation

ooh, iv not stolen any of those songs ... but i am curious about some of those artists, perhaps il have a shot at this one

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

You obviously haven't been to China.

How about the return of Flexidiscs? They can't have cost much. I got one free with a Look In once.

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

It's not the manufacturing, but the licensing that takes the money.

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

or, like, a cd....

Second DiS Download Compilation

I own the Apartment single...somehow. Considering I bought it about three months after it was meant to be completely sold out across the entire country.

And The Martha Wainwright song <3<3<3

Second DiS Download Compilation

Ok I'm pretty much a blindman about this indie stuff.. And my question is does this Martha Wainwright got any relation or anything with Rufus W??

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

She's his sister.

Re: Second DiS Download Compilation

Surely you need to get permission/copyright/licenses sorted out for paid download thing as well though?
