As some of you may know (if you follow us on Facebook), things around mam!records have been a bit shaken up due to one of the most unpredictable things possible.  The other day, early in the morning, lightning struck our house.  Due to the strike, my laptop (along with several other devices in the house – all of which were protected) was destroyed.

All of the queued releases and archives are thoroughly backed up, so there’s no worry about that.  Unfortunately, some coming releases may be delayed, or slightly different in release method.  Until that laptop is replaced, I hope you can all understand if we can’t bring free weekly releases as consistently as we normally aim for.
With that said, I will be trying my damnedest to get these wonderful sounds in your ears.  Check back later tonight for the debut of Fambly Fun!‘s brand new album, As It Always Was.

Best wishes,

John Praw Kruse

It’s the second day of Lightning Round Week, and as promised, here’s today’s release.

Today, mam!records is happy to give you Eurasia.’s new album of wonderfully rich and calming piano compositions.  Enjoy all thirteen pieces, and make sure to let the artist know what you think!

These pipes are clean!   Well, the nasty wisdom teeth are gone, at the very least.  The procedure took THREE MINUTES (after numbing, of course – I’m not THAT manly), and there has been almost no pain after.

To celebrate my luck and general good mood, we will have a special Lightning Round Week.  That’s right, next week, you will find a brand new free release EVERY WEEKDAY!

Here’s the lineup, with links to the artists:

MondayGiven Willingly – Water & Sleep Single
Tuesday Eurasia. – Rast
WednesdayWarm Waves – Lifted EP
ThursdayPokket – Lint EP
FridayFambly Fun! – As It Always Was

See you next week,

Normally, mam!records offers new free music each and every Tuesday.  This week, however, things will be a bit different.  Tomorrow, I will be going in to have three wisdom teeth removed.  The dentist doesn’t think they’ll be much trouble, but they need to come out.

Instead of worrying about whether I’ll feel up to the task of getting everything up and running for the week, I have decided to take a one week “medical” hiatus.  If all goes to plan, though, next week will be loaded with some amazing releases from some of my personal favorite mam!records artists.

We’ll also start dishing out news about some of our latest additions to the mam!records family.  There are at least half a dozen new artists waiting to make their way into your ears.  (For those wondering, our upcoming release queue is just about ready to break into 2011…)

EDIT: I will NOT be sedated for the extraction.  I will, however, get local anesthetic (of course), and possibly laughing gas on top.
