The New Economy: To Wake Up From a Dreamless Sleep

The New Economy is a three piece indie rock band from Germany that play music like they have been listening to a list of A-list indie Brit rockers all their life. They conjure up a mixture of danceable, catchy, and rockish tracks which is capped off with Brit sounding vocals. To Wake Up From a Dreamless Sleep is the trio's second full-length and most recent record. It comes with 9 easily likable tracks that are both dancy and even melodic in places.

World of Padman

With so many open source first person shooter games available online, it's often tough to choose which title to give your precious hard drive space to. Of course, you might have several criteria in mind for deciding, like gameplay or graphics. One game that would pass both categories with flying colors is World of Padman. World of Padman has a similar gameplay with Quake III Arena, minus CTF mode. The graphics are quite cool and colorful while the gameplay is definitely perfect for trigger happy gunslingers.

MoOt: Demo

Brit pop music coming from a guy that sounds like a doppelganger for Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. Demo from Moot is a straight pop album that sticks like gum on your shoes. No matter how much you scrape it off or try and get away from it, you know it's just there. That sticky feeling stays, for a very, very long time. Moot's Demo is a compilation of 6 tracks that follow the pop song formula. Basically, it comes with a verse, chorus, bridge and a catchy melody; all this running for about 3 minutes or so, leaving you no room to get sick or bored of it.

trustno1: Unless…

Expressive progressive rock that lulls you to 80s dreamland. Okay, if you are like me and you speak nada French, then you might have trouble looking for and understanding information about this band. One thing is for sure though, Trustno1 makes bands like The Cure proud. Unless...is the groups 31st album release in Jamendo. It comes equipped with seven 80s inspired pop rock which extends to progressive mode once in awhile. It may not be the best there is on the genre, but it's certainly worth a listen.

Tux Racer

If you ever had a fancy for, Tux, the Linux mascot, then how about using him in a game? Tux Racer will let you do just that. It's a free 3D game that will let you use Tux or any of the other characters and guide him down from a hill, collecting herring on the way. You can make him go faster by sliding in ice. If you prefer maneuverability over speed, then let him slide on snow instead. Originally developed by Jasmin Patry, Tux Racer is a fun, relaxing game that's perfect for a great day off. It's not too complicated and quite easy to enjoy.

Victori4: 21st Century Samurais

Swiss French rockers that don't sound European at all. Victori4 (can be read as Victoria or Victory Four) likes to describe their sound as cinematic indie rock. There's not much to disagree about that description since the band's songs definitely sound as if they belong in some indie rock film or TV show. It might be a stretch, but 21st Century Samurais have one of the best albums available for free in Jamendo. Their brand of indie alternative rock might not break boundaries but it is refreshing and awesome. Worth every penny if you buy the album on Itunes or Amazon too.
