It’s on rare occasions that I visit the free download<\/cite> or recommended<\/cite> links on websites, because they’re invariably linking to stuff in which I have no interest whatsoever. But today was an exception, and an exceptional exception at that: I found two<\/em> tracks that are worthy not only of adding to my library but of blogging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The first is something of a novelty item, granted, and I didn’t technically follow Amazon’s link to find it (it came from another site) but it’s still fun, and not just for the title — David Gillis’s The Theme to Spiderman – Acoustic Flamenco Solo Guitar Instrumental<\/cite><\/a>. It’s just… well, exactly what it says it is, and unlike Michael Bublé’s take was released without a Major Motion Picture™ to support it. I may just have to recommend it to Brian Ibbott<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The other is right off today’s edition of Amazon’s free downloads page<\/a>, Apollo Sunshine’s Today Is The Day<\/cite><\/a>. I do love the rockabilly, and this one’s got the drive and the straight-ahead lyrics (now if that grass looks fun to roll in, then roll in that fun grass \/ look at that bird, he can fly, don’t you wish you could fly<\/q>) to qualify, and even some surf-rock elements that give it that extra sumpin-sumpin. Good stuff, that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

(More astute readers will observe that both tracks are by male artists, which is in itself a remarkable occurrence on this blog. To redeem myself slightly I’ll point out that I found the initial link on a page<\/a> that linked to Oh Camille<\/cite><\/a>.)<\/p><\/div>
