Mud Coffee


	Our backgrounds, our futures, our journeys thru another New York day - the beat walks with us... The future of MUD will be determined by how much we can give back to the music and its makers. We are working on various projects to share all the rhythms of the MUD World. We are digging, discovering secret librairies written once upon a time or pieces of ear candy that are being tracked in some smokey home studio next door. Check back here for MP3 updates, MUDspot live shows and the occasional surprise or two.

	DOWNLOAD Balboa mp3 Signal to Noise	Balboa balboanyc.com Myspace.com/balboanyc The East Village Song Writing Collective has been accused of writing power-rock ballads. One of those fabulous examples is the track “Signal to Noise” which lives up to any classic rock anthem with excellent pop hook. Singer/Songwriter Loam is blessed with a soulful, passionate voice and the natural gift of being able to tell a story in a song. Listen in!
	DOWNLOAD Paulo Nuntini mp3 New Shoes	Paulo Nutini except from paolonutini.com A truly charismatic live performer, Nutini has supported such superstars as Paul Weller and the Rolling Stones...The Observer hailed Nutini as having "a talent for elegant, melodic songwriting and an admirable willingness to vary the tempo." And in the U.S. Rolling Stone have recently named Paolo as one of its "10 Artists To Watch 2006".
	DOWNLOAD Antonius Block mp3 Dated the Devil	Antonius Block except from antoniusblock.com AB make the kind of music that less creative kids only hear rattling around their heads..Fraunik ratchet clacks hitting just enough gravel to cause sparks..Light fawns jumping over train yards and catching a bit of fur on the fence...Great example of loving great music and making great music your own. --the Bunnybrains
	DOWNLOAD Stylofone mp3 Please Believe Me	Stylofone except from myspace.com/stylofone Like Thin Lizzy but less hirsute, Stylofone equate letting the good times roll with tweaking the beat and harmonizing every lead. But the NYC quartet struts straighter, sings softer, and makes funnier off-color jokes than its forebears. - Pitchfork Stylofone have one dynamite gimmick: doubled guitar leads on every hook, executed with joyous arena-rock everything-old-is-new. Go see them. - Robert Christgau
	DOWNLOAD Ian Thomas mp3 Halfway Gone	IanThomas except from ianthomasmusic.com Guitar-toting folkie Ian Thomas may reside in New York City, but his sound bypasses the concrete jungle for the deep rural territories of acoustic blues. Though each of the 12 tracks on "A Young Man's Blues" wakes memories of long-forgotten standards, they are all originals. Thomas effortlessly bounces through jaunty rags, crying ballads and gentle folk, treating each style with casual reverence.

	DOWNLOAD John Cruz mp3 Mama's Lil' Baby	John Cruz except from johncruz.com John Cruz is one of my favorite songwriters in the world. - Jack Johnson
	DOWNLOAD Demander mp3 Hollis	Demander except from cdbaby.com/cd/demander With a quirky rhythm section and a melody-driven veneer, the trio sounds at times like the musical heirs to Fugazi's punk prowess and Tom Waits' dark alley rock; or the strange love child of PJ Harvey and Ted Leo. It's a happy hardcore that explodes live -- fierce playing, unbridled joy and good hooks for sing-alongs. check em out myspace.com/demander
	DOWNLOAD Stoney Clove Lane mp3 Bernstein & The Kid	Stoney Clove Lane except from myspace.com/stoneyclove The SCL sound is fed by wormy guitars and an occasional keyboard caught in a shoving match over of a battered drum kit with a rubbery bass and random noise makers pasting the elements together. The words and vocals are honest, at times troubled, but with a chance at renewal always hiding behind the next chord change. get with the messy rock action.
	DOWNLOAD Ming Dynasty mp3 Since We Broke Up	Ming Dynasty except from mingdynasty.tv Hi Everyone, Ming and Eric will be playing unplugged gigs all of September at Mudspot.
