Valerie
Songs From Stone Mountain by Dave Daniels is collection of folk pop indie americana tracks that'll give you a taste of what it's like staying in an American bayou or at least in a small American town. The songs in this record evoke a quiet reverie, but there are also some tracks that are upbeat and cleverly intertwine a pop rock sound. This is the artists' first official release and it's available for free download under a creative commons license. You can also check out his latest compilation, Just Like Ghosts, also available for free download.Get a taste of pure American tracks from this wonderful Florida singer/songwriter.

Loop Raccord

Valerie
Loop Raccord (or Raccord Loop) is a cool and unique game that's a current nominee for the upcoming 2011 IGF Nuovo Award. Developed according to the Experimental Gameplay Project's Neverending theme, the game showcases experimental gameplay that is interesting and captivating. The gameplay is a bit tricky to explain. Basically, you have to find the exact moment in an animated video or film and sync it with the next roll of video. Your goal is to create an infinite loop of movement by connecting every single video clip. Even though it's a bit tricky to do, there's no denying that it's a lot of fun. Created by Nicolai Troshinsky, it's one of the most original games out there. Just a word of warning though, it is a bit addictive but keep in mind that there's really no real end to the game.

This Changes Everything: The New and Very Welcome

Valerie
The New & Very Welcome is basically Jessica Lynne McDermott. She creates wonderful indie acoustic pop right from her bedroom. This Changes Everything is the latest release from this laid-back songstress and it features 16 acoustic-inspired tracks. Every single one of the tracks were recorded in the artists' bedroom and then transferred to cassette. The album compiles raw yet endearing cuts that has every inch of indie stamped on it. Although the recording isn't that amazing, it's quite clean. As for the songs, not everything is a gem but there are definitely cuts worth listening to and downloading. This Changes Everything is offered for a pay-what-you-want download. Simply enter zero or how much you want to donate and click download.

GodFinger

Valerie
GodFinger lets you play "god" by giving you a chance to be in charge of your own world. It's a nifty free game for the iPad, iPhone and iTouch that is quite addictive. The gameplay is similar to the Sims in which you have to create and control your characters. The goal is to gather up as many followers as possible so that plenty of people will come live in your planet. The game is simple but fairly entertaining and very addictive. Most of the objectives unfold on real time so it gives players a chance to grow with the game. Although the premise has been done before, there's no denying the fact that it's still manages to conjure up hordes of players. The game's interactive gameplay, graphics and cute little characters turn this basic game into something so much more. Give it a download.

Monk Turner + Fascinoma: In case of an emergency

Natalie
EMERGENCY SONGS is a beautifully arranged, new concept album from Monk Turner and singer/lyricist Fascinoma (Allana Lin) from Los Angeles, California. Together they bring us 12 wonderful songs filled with a variety of musical flavors and lovely vocals that, even if the music itself gets a little rough, maintains its composure; a very character attribute that could turn to be a critical factor in surviving a major disaster (the theme of the album). The album itself is conceived to awake the imagination of its listeners through both song and story as a massive earthquake is heading straight for LA! And so the lyrics take us on a 35 minute journey through all the phases of the crisis, "from pre-quake boredom, to post-quake freeway BBQ".

Juanitos: Soul Africa

Natalie
Juanitos first showed up on our blog all the way back in June 2009. And now with more of great albums under its belt (including over 400 concerts and hundreds of thousands of downloads – if not more) I thought it might be a right time for a little re-introduction; especially that after our crazy winter I’m sure we are all in need of some ‘summer night party’ sounds.

TapFish

Valerie
How fun can it be to take care of a bunch of fishes? The fact is, it can be quite entertaining, not to mention addictive. TapFish is perfect for any person who has always dreamed of owning and taking care of a fish minus the manual cleaning of the tank and whatnot. The game instead, lets you take care of your own digital fishes right on your iPod device. It was developed by BayView Labs Inc. and it allows you to buy, sell, feed, and even breed your very own virtual fish. It's like carrying a pocket fish tank with you at all times! This is one of those games where you have to be dedicated in taking care of your pets, otherwise, you'll find them floating, bottoms up, in the water. Give this cool game a download right now.
