Filter MagCast 010: Featuring... The Sounds
by Staff | 00.00.0000

FilterMagCast celebrated it's 10th birthday / anniversary / whatever in style, welcoming our favorite Swedish party band The Sounds to our Hollywood home as special guests in the booth. Felix (guitar), Jesper (keyboards), Johan (bass), Fredrik (drums) and the cutest mute alive Maja (who sadly was forced to save her overworked voice for a special show later that night) crammed onto the now infamous chunky futon to talk to our own Danielle (aka Boo) about their forthcoming record Dying to Say This to You and play guest DJs to spin some of their favorite bands/songs of the moment. Check out brand new clips of two unreleased tracks (including a ballad! yes, a ballad) from their sophomore effort, which will be out in 2006 on New Line Records, as well as a sublime featured track from the LA band Mellowdrone.

Featured clips include:
The Sounds, "Song With a Misson"
The Sounds, "Night After Night"
The Editors, "Blood"
Queen, "I Want to Break Free"
Shiny Toy Guns, "Don't Cry Out"
Queens of the Stone Age, "Go With the Flow"
The Game, "Hate It Or Love It"
Broken Social Scene, "7/4 (Shoreline)"
Mellowdrone, "Fashionably Uninvited" [featured track]

What? Your little old iPod doesn't have a Podcast section? Not to worry. All you need to do is update your iPod with the newest updater and iTunes 4.9 software, available right here.

And unless the rock you've been living under has been quite comfortable for the past few years, you'll know that iTunes is, of course, a free download (or as we like to refer to it as the "magic music portal") from Apple which works on Mac and Windows computers that you can access here.

Users of other podcasting software (such as iPodder) can subscribe by using the following feed address here.

If you've somehow missed the hype on podcasting (wow, where is that rock?), a podcast is similar to a radio show recorded to an MP3. Users can then use iTunes or other software to "subscribe" to the audio feed so that new episodes from all their subscriptions are listed in a single place for downloading and listening. You can also copy the shows to CD or your iPod/MP3 player for listening when and where you like. Think TiVo for your iPod.
