Various Artists' Bandcamps (2010)

So 88.9, the greatest radio station in America, put together their top Milwaukee Bandcamps of 2010. How awesome is that? Seriously, I fucking love 88.9. Anyway, instead of picking the best ones and making posts for each, I decided to give them all a quick lesson and do a little blurb on each so you can sort of pick out what you'd be most interested in. You should really check all of them out, though. It's definitely worth it, and there's enough diversity that my taste probably won't match yours. And remember, Bandcamps typically have FREE and LEGAL music, so there really isn't any reason you shouldn't just download all of this. Unless, like, you're a lazy person. In which case, get off the internet and go do some jumping jacks. No, not later, NOW! RIGHT NOW! I'm watching you.

Adoptahighway - really interesting instrumental electronic stuff
All Those Runners - probably my favorite in the group, a lot like early Murder By Death and And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead
At Latl - Modest Mouse clone
AUTOMatic - really well-done hip-hop
Blessed Feathers - Bon Iver clone
Conrad Plymouth - interesting laid-back solo acoustic stuff, sorta similar tone to Matthew Good or  Gary Jules
Dana Copafeel - nice classic-sounding hip-hop
Del Harmonic - see above
Eric & Magill - fantastic experimental folk
Fahri - fun indie/alternative, dat  reverb distortion
Faux Fir - The 80s called. They want their synthesizers back.
Fever Marlene - pretty basic indie rock
Frankie Flowers - If Milwaukee hip-hop has a specific sound, this guy would be a frontrunner in defining it.
Grimace - drone with a beat and some audio samples
Haz Solo x Signif - more hip-hop, I suck at describing it
Horse Force - dubstep that makes you go "What the fuck is this shit?" until you see their album cover.
Jonathan Burks - modern blues with a country twinge
KingHellBastard - more hip-hop, not as good as the others
Klassik - dem beats
Lymntylst - they remixed Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix album, worth a listen even if you're not that familiar with the album, "Lasso" is a pretty different unique twist on the original
Mixmasta D - What is the difference between rap and hip-hop? I guess I'm just too white to ever understand.
Nom De Rap - reminds me of a funnier version of Del for some reason
Pezzettino - This just sounds fun. I'm not really sure what you'd call it, though. Fifty internet bucks for naming that classic arcade tune at the beginning of "Lubdub." Fifty more for agreeing that "Lubdub" is fun to say.
Plight of a Parasite - hip-hop with some fucking awesome electronic elements
Que - Que? (more rap, not particularly memorable)
Testa Rosa - Remember those 80s girl pop bands? Wanna remember them again?
The Delta Routine - WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET BIG ON THE RADIO?
The Demix - Remember that elevator sequence at the beginning of Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine?" Modernize it and make it about 15 minutes longer.
The New Loud - like the old loud, only newer (pretty cool, call me crazy, but I would label this twee-hardcore, if such a thing exists)
The Vitrolum Republic - These guys are actually pretty cool. It's like they're singing old Irish folk tunes, but...they're not. Definitely worth a listen.
Tonye Dabipi - Rap that probably isn't worth your time, but what a kickass name to have! Seriously.
