50 Foot Wave: With Love From the Men’s Room

Valerie
When it comes to free music, it's hard to say no, especially if you find out that the band sounds great. 50 Foot Wave is one band you might have trouble saying no to. Fronted by raspy-voiced singer, Kristin Hersh; the group specializes in grungy alternative pop. Formerly of Throwing Muses, Hersh retains the volume they had and incorporates it in her new band. She's joined by former Muses bassist,Bernard Georges as well as former Chalk FarM drummer Rob Ahlers. Their sound doesn't just echo alternative post punk alternative but also borderlines on progressive rock.

PiTiVi

Mel
Non linear video editors are hard to come by in Linux, but PiTiVi by Edward Hervey remedies that situation. Not only is it one of the few non linear video editors on Linux but it is very easy to use and feature packed, comparable to those on other systems.

John Graham: Magic: Blanc et Noir

Natalie
After his highly successful release, Success in Retrograde, which was downloaded by nearly 170,000 people on FrostClick/FrostWire alone, John Graham is at it again. This time he decided to go an extra mile and release his most intriguing work to date. Magic: Blanc et Noir brings you 14 content heavy tracks with lyrics and energy that will get you hooked in no time. To make things even better John added few surprises, so now in addition to some great sounds you can expect a digital booklet with linear notes, lyrics, and more than unique artwork.

Ephera: Wonky EP

Valerie
Skillfully mixing 8-bit, dubstep, hip hop and experimental electronica in their sound, Ephera creates a surreal musical dreamland in their music. Wonky EP is the latest effort from the now duo of Billy Gsellmann and Will Baker. Containing a whole fusion of genres, the album seems tailor made for bodies throbbing on a rave or club dance floor. The EP contains 6 tracks and was released on October 2012.

Paper Toss Friends

Mel
Paper Toss Friends is the sequel to the original smash hit game and developer Backflip Studios has upped the ante making it more exciting with an addition of a multiplayer mode. The game, available for the iPhone and iPad, has the same goal as the original and that is to flick an object into the bin. This is a very simple but addictive game, and you’ve probably played something similar to it in the office or at home.

Wood Spider: In The Thick of It

Valerie
After making an appearance on the Frostclick blog for their 2011 release, Tending Fires; the raucous lo-fi indie band, Wood Spider is back with In The Thick of It. The 6-track compilation reeks of diy folk punk aesthetics with a touch of the gypsy sound that has characterized much of the band’s sound. It’s this utter weirdness that makes this compilation a great one to check out. Filled with odd singing/rambling, acoustic guitars and various bits and bobs, the record is for those who can appreciate the unusual or maybe those who have a penchant for dancing around a bonfire during camping nights.

Ormie

Monica
He is fat, pink, and has an adorable snout. He has everything you are looking for in a pig. But by the end of this short film, you will surely contest that Ormie the pig is more than just delightful and charming written all over him. For the whole length of the short, watch Ormie as he launches numerous attempts in pursuit of his love – a jar filled with cookies. And what does a pig got to do in the face of food? Take it down and gobble it. It is not that easy a task; but, Ormie is not your ordinary pig in a pen.
