I was poking around the other day and happened to catch wind of a free EP called Survival from a Brooklyn, NY (as opposed, of course, to Brooklyn, Tanzania) outfit called Forest Fire.
Now, my general opinion of Brooklyn is well known. And it's not because of Boston baseball, either. All those clowning post-college hipsters offend my New English austerity. As to the clowning charge, my evidence: Neon clothes and Max Headroom inspired sunglasses [even though he didn't wear any], skinny jeans and garish sneakers. Oh, you kids today. Anyway, I've gone off on a tangent. My apologies to Forest Fire, who probably have nothing to do with any of that and just wanted to make nice music for the nice people...unless they do in fact dress like BrokenCYDE. And it's really not their fault that The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have to exist (for some reason) anyway, so perhaps I should drop this whole Brooklyn issue. From the sounds of things, I'm guessing they do not dress like BrokenCYDE, who aren't even from New York anyway, incidentally...they're from New Mexico. And they kindly made a very strong EP available free of charge.
In yonder imeem player, please find tracks entitled "Fortune Teller" and "I Make Windows." Hey, and pay them back if they come to your town by going to the show, that's how this whole "free of charge" thing is supposed to work. If they happen to come to Boston, show them our Yankee hospitality as they try to entertain us by uncomfortably clapping (clapping is not dignified), and greet their stage banter with ten yard stares.
If you want these freebies (and a few others) for yourself: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=42401093
Tracks 52 & 53 on that there player.
