One of the main reasons for doing this site is to hopefully introduce people to interesting music, whether it be brand spanking new or thirty years old. I’ve personally found (and then bought) loads of music via blogs, and nothing would make me happier than introducing someone to Durutti Column, or Geneva, or American Music Club, or whoever. MP3′s are a great way for people to get a taster of a particular artist, so they then go out and buy more of the artist’s music, or watch them live (if they still can).
However if you are the owner of one of the MP3′s I’ve posted and you would rather I didn’t post it, please let me know via email (it’s loftandlost and it’s a googlemail.com account) and I will remove it. After all, it is yours.
I’ve also added, from March 2009 and wherever possible, links to buy the tracks or albums I talk about, whether they are new releases, best of’s, or single tracks (as MP3 downloads). For some of these, especially in the Pitchfork 500, this may not be possible. Also please note these are all for the UK Amazon.com site; I will change this to Amazon US if enough people tell me to!

Please take a look at the promo video for my forthcoming digital release.
The song is called £10 Bag and it’s about 80s computer games, childhood and
heroin.
Keeping it light and cheery for the summer!
Two versions of the song (one featuring grime star WRETCH 32) will be
hitting itunes on the 6th July. I can send these mp3s to you if you
like…
Thanks!

/ November 16, 2010Hi there!
I stumbled upon your blog while researching possible matches for music blogs and the kind of music I write. I saw you listed some David Bowie music and appreciate Arcade Fire. I’d like to share Sir Surrey’s work with you at: http://www.sirsurrey.com. It is a unique approach to composition, different instrumentation and a different distribution model for being an Indie Artist. Hope you enjoy it. I would love to hear what you thought of the music. I am happy to send you a copy of the CD.
Cheers and look forward!
Surrey

Any possibility you would be able to feature us on your site? Be it just a piece about the band, or our new song or our new e.p – we’re happy with whatever.
We’re Called Lions Are Smarter Than I Am and we’re a 3 piece post rock band from south east england.
If you can help us out at all, please let us know!
You can play our new track from our yet to be released 2nd e.p, American Idle, here; http://lionsaresmarterthaniam.bandcamp.com/track/galbras
Thank You
