Giving you some fresh new tunes for the holidays, check out the latest singles to be causing some buzz in the music blog world.
Where do we get all of the new music? If you haven’t tried out the online music aggregator application, Peel, you are really missing out. Essentially, Peel goes out onto the web and will take inventory of every new music blog or website that you tell it to. Then, you can set your preferences to download mp3s directly into your iTunes (if you want), regularly building your music library with more fresh, new music than you’ll know what to do with. Team Marmoset uses Peel to keep tabs on what’s hot and buzzing. Plus, Dave Allen uses it and that’s a good enough recommendation for me. Give the free trial a whirl (for Mac users only). www.getpeel.com
This week’s new music playlist covers a wide range of genres… Beginning with some lighter, indie pop – progressing towards some brit rock – and then taking it to the rap and hip hop worlds. Be sure to give special attention to the first track, a brand new demo from The Dimes. For more info on the song, Dimes frontman, Johnny Clay, is regularly shres his thoughts and details on the band’s blog at www.thedimes.com/blog.
If you like the new demo from The Dimes, you may also enjoy a fresh new track from Peter Broderick. It’s a lovely song with some really cool melodic elements to it. For the playlist’s grand finale, we leave you with the latest cut from Kanye West – probably the best track from his new record. Dig it.
The Dimes – Damrell’s Fire (DEMO)
Or, The Whale – Call and Response
Peter Broderick – With the Notes In My Ears
The Heavenly States – Pathway Dreams
The Doors and DJ Spooky – Soul Kitchen
Air France – Collapsing At Your Doorstep
Jay Z with Santogold – Brooklyn Go Hard
And remember… download new music responsibly. If you like the music, go buy the full album. Also buy tickets and go see the artists live when they play in your city. Support music…or be a jerk. The choice is yours.

Agreed, “Paranoid” is also my fav track from the new Kanye album. Good taste, Team Marmoset.
