The magic of Soundcloud. It’s music. For free. On Friday.
First, the remix of “Two Sips and Magic” by Nickodemus. Straight up gypsy rock messed up funtime on Kush Arora‘s bass-heavy mixing desk. The original track is a bit of a plodder, but this version gives it a donkey kick and tells it to get back to work.

Anybody who thinks this next track “sounds like Goldfrapp” needs their head examined. The Black Mountain Installation cuts some blues harmonica into a downtempo pitcher of homebrew called “Good Morning Mister Woods”. A 2009 vintage but will probably age well.

I’ve got no idea who recorded “Josephine Theme” but it is pleasant. I’d like to hear it in an elevator, but I wouldn’t like to be stuck in that elevator for more than about 17 hours, if you know what I mean.

The magic of YouTube, you already know about. Shugo Tokumaru jumps out of the folk-pop plane and releases his “Parachute”. Whoosh! Watch him float to the ground with musical precision, and there’s no topping that.
