Kupek “Tries Again” – great alternative songs to chill out to

hailey
Not all songs are meant to be heard while you chill out. Others might be too noisy, and others might make you too sleepy. But Kupek does it differently - they make it just right. For those who like the sounds of John Mayer and Jason Mraz, then Kupek is a great alternative. Think of him as an open-source (read: free) alternative to alternative, relaxed rock styles out there in the market.

Canadian singer, Chad VanGaalen, released a wonderful sounding experimental indie rock album “Soft Airplane” last year.

7-Zip – an open source file compression software

hailey
We all know how crucial hard disk space is, especially for those people who are constantly on the go and who always bring their work with them. It can be a problem sometimes because the files they need to bring with them are bigger than their free space. Worry no more - 7-Zip is here to the rescue. 7-Zip is an open source software for file compression and archiving, and unlike others, it offers a high compression ratio - definitely perfect for those big files that need to be shrinked.

Coby Core “White Trees EP” – modern alternative rock with a pinch of the 80’s

iceb0x
A newly formed band is coming to rock the house. Coby Core is a Swedish rock band that sounds like Third Eyes Blind and 3 Doors down rolled into one. Fans of guitar-sounding and adrenaline-pumping music would love the great talents of Rasmus Mårshagen (guitar and vocals), Johan Hargne Nohagen (piano/keyboards, and vocals), Stefan Hallqvist (bass and back vocals), and Niklas Westblad (drums). Watch out for this band because they will soon be one of the most listened to bands in the charts.

Maya de Luna “Bar Stim.Art” – Cool Live Jazz with Bossa hints

hailey
One of the things that I love to do is to laze around one afternoon while reading a book and listening to good jazz music. While most jazz music features instrumental piano, drums and saxophone hints, Maya de Luna and Bruno Stimart paired up for this absolutely lovely live recording of jazz with hints of bossa nova. It makes you feel like swaying left and right as you listen to the music, with applauses and little dialogues in between songs.
