Music That Matters: Podington Bear


Podington Bear. I'm not even sure where to start on him(her?) really. Well. According to his website he is just a bear that makes music. A bear that plans on releaseing three songs a week (on Monday, Wednesday, Friday) every week for the whole the whole year. Not only this, but he is giving it away for free. Completely. What made me write a post on him is that he had an interesting article on his site, about a new (but in reality a quite old) way of artists to make music. This is actually showcased by the the Nike commissioned workout tracks made by Aesop Rock and LCD Soundsystem. You can take a read, its quite interesting. Regardless, take a listen to his music. Sometimes dark, other times extraordinarily lighthearted. The songs are all mostly twee pop-esque, but have an innocence and an ambient air to them which.
His website is here and you can download the songs using iTunes, or any Podcasting client such as Doppler.
