Second EP by Our Foolish Pride

December 24, 2009 in Shuttle | Leave a comment

It’s christmas, not easter, but there is definitely a little resurrection going on today. Another release! I can’t really take any credit for that besides downloading the files and uploading them here again.

Our Foolish Pride has finished another second 5 track EP that Jog/Shuttle is glad to release as of now. If you liked the first relase, you will like this as well.

Have a listen: You can download individual tracks or the complete release as well as listen to the songs online. Feel free to share: The music is released under a Creative Commons license.

Please leave your comments. We hope you like what you hear.

Happy holidays and a preview

His shiny silver helmet

The year is almost over so I thought I’d prepare a little gift for everyone:

The song “Astroman” by Berlin-based not-only-folk duo Nahe was written in summer when I approached Christian and Bene and asked them for a song for the soon-to-be-released “Hello World”-compilation (cat. no. 01) on Jog/Shuttle. As you might have noticed, the compilation release is still nowhere to be seen (it will come out real soon nowTM), so as a preview (or rather prelisten) to that, we’d like to give this song to you in time for the holidays.

Nahe – Astroman (mp3)

Please don’t forget to check out Nahe’s website and myspace page.

See you in 2009!

Background Radiation’s EP released

October 23, 2008 in Jog, Shuttle | Tags: , , , , | Leave a comment

In a strange coincidence last Sunday, I remembered I had this net label that somehow fell asleep for five months while on the other side of the planet somebody thought that Jog/Shuttle would make a fine place for their songs that had also been waiting to see the light for some time now.

Meet Tim Dwyer and Ludo Maas, two fine musicians I didn’t even know last week. They obviously have released a lot of songs before and I feel truly special for the opportunity to present their collaborative output as Background Radiation here on Jog/Shuttle. Their False Start EP contains six songs and is highly recommended (believe me, as biased as I am), so have a listen and download it for free right away:

(Actually, I wanted to include odd references to background radiation, the cosmic phenomenon, in this text. I forgot. But let’s just assume it all fits nicely on a metaphorical level.)

Jog/Shuttle on Canadian radio

We’re sort of shocked and pleased at the same time: Two songs of the recent (and so far only) release “Our Foolish Pride” have received airplay on the show Ouèbe Musique on CKRL 89,1 in Quebec, Canada. That was fast.

Please listen to Simon Roy’s excellent choice of internet music: The two hour show airs every sunday night and can subsequently be downloaded on the Ouèbe Musique blog.

What a nice day in May. The sun is shining, I can see the blue sky from my desk. And I promise I’ll go outside to get some fresh air as soon as I … (wait for it)
…
release the first album on Jog/Shuttle!

It’s the first and untitled EP by Our Foolish Pride, by Till from Berlin. I’m so proud, in a foolish way of course. It goes by the catalog number of 02 because 01 will be a compilation that was supposed to kick off Jog/Shuttle but I didn’t really urge the artists I asked so you’ll have to wait some weeks for that.

Please check out Our Foolish Pride and let us know what you think.

Oh, and if you’re into that kind of communication, please be a Jog/Shuttle friend on myspace.

Welcome runners, welcome astronauts.

Jog/Shuttle is an internet music label, thought into existence in ten quiet minutes some weeks ago. I realized that I know a lot of people doing great music. Some of them already publish their works, some might not need another outlet for their tunes.

So I like to think of this label as a mixtape. I don’t know where this is heading to but please come along and we’ll find out together.
