Boyer Collect 00

There is so much good music being released out there constantly. This is for those of you who can't be bothered to scrawl through countless music review websites to get those few gem tracks but still want to be ahead of the general populous (or at least your friends who don't use the internet). I've decided to make it easier for you to find the best of the latest stuff by posting a few songs (about 4 albums worth!) that I have found and enjoyed recently. I plan to continue posting music in this fashion until I stop - otherwise I would be violating a law of logic. You can download most of the tracks unless the links have screwed up. Where tracks are no longer available I've added a link to where you can hear the track. I've sorted them into 4 rough groups, of which names loosely described the emotional or physical effect that the songs cause on the body. Sometimes a track will fit into multiple categories in which case I'll put it in the one which I think fits best with the other songs. If you like a song you should google (or metacrawler - if you're in with the cool kids) the band - it's more than likely there'll be more free mp3s that I didn't include...

If I/this were a proper music reviewer/website I/it would have reviews, a bit of history, promotional pictures, maybe some trivia and things that these bands are releasing soon etc - I'm/it's not - you're just going to have to listen to the music without any background.

Hope you enjoy Post 00 of The Online Boyer Collect

Aus> means as far as I know they are Australian. Disappointingly not many Australian bands have permanent mp3 links so most of these tracks just link to myspace accounts. If you need an Aussie fix check out - http://www.triplejunearthed.com/ - stacks of new Aussie bands (including an old track by me).

!> means you should definitely check them out - they have multiple good songs

I think the 5* thing is self explanatory don't you? If you don't than I shall explain. It just means I have given the song a 5 star rating - I'm not saying it's the perfect song, just that I think it's one to definitely listen to.
