Some of us Tumblr folks, along with our friends from Kickstarter and SoundCloud, are throwing a party in Austin this weekend for SXSW.
RSVP and come hang out!
And a special thanks to Tumblr’s hosting partner The Planet for sponsoring.
I am so there!!
The Explorers - Longest Night
So Jez & Rob of the band The Explorers sent over this track via my bangin’ SoundCloud Dropbox. It’s so damn catchy! They def give the feeling of Empire of the Sun and MGMT (Their sound from their 2005ish EP). They only have 3 plays of this song over at their MySpace page but that should change here soon.
Here We Go Magic - Collector
I’ve seen the new album art in my dashboard for the new Here We Go Magic album. Which got me utterly excited because I absolutely loved their self-titled album. Well so it seems Secretly Canadian is giving away this song just for an email address here.
I’m cised. The album doesn’t come out till June 2010.
AON Sessions: Fredrik, “Viskra”
AON said: “In February, the ethereal Swedish folk pop band Fredrik visited the US for a tour in support of their latest effort, Trilogi. Just before their last show, they treated us to an exclusive acoustic rendition of ‘Viskra.’”
Real Estate - Suburban Dogs
Real Estate performs one of my favorites songs of theirs at a real estate office Christmas party in their debut music video.
On Wednesday, the company is answering the call, offering biking routes in 150 American cities in Google Maps. Google plans to unveil the service during the National Bike Summit in Washington. The event will be followed by a group ride at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Tex.
This is so awesome!
Pictureplane - Time Teens
A brain wrecker for sure. Not sure if it was the best thing to listen to right before bed.
Adding the IGIF’s SXSW Floating Fest 2k10 to the Must See list.
I’m sure you all are tired of hearing about SXSW. It will all be over soon.
Family Of The Year - Chugjug
This is a hand clapper. Great big band, (more than the standard 3) out of Silverlake, Cali.
Megafaun + The Tallest Man on Earth + Jaw Lesson - Creature Fear (Bon Iver) at FabrIQ Festival
Wow either the dudes from Megafaun are huge or Kristian Mattson of Tallest Man on Earth is that flippin’ tiny!
Port O’Brien - Leap Year

I can’t tell you how effing rad this extension for Chrome is. It made me switch to Chrome for my main browser. Dan did a great job with this, he’s also the original creator of Streampad that is the “play-all” player at the bottom of this site. I don’t know Dan personally but I’m sure he’s a pretty rad dude.
The latest release (3.2) introduces auto-updating sites. This means that songs will automatically be added to your library, from the sites you have already visited, as those sites post them. You do not have to re-visit sites to get new songs. This all happens in the background.
The All Songs List view has been tweaked a little with timestamps to better reflect this new ‘Music Activity Stream’:
All sites have auto-updating turned on by default. You can turn this off on a site-by-site basis by right-clicking on a site in the All Songs Pane View:
You can now also remove an entire site and all of its songs by right-clicking and choosing delete:
If you would like to remove individual songs, you can still right-click on any song in All Songs Pane view and choose delete. If you remove all the songs from a site, the site will still remain and continue to auto-update if you have not chosen to turn that off
