You know, for the middle of August, there sure seems to be a lot poppin' as far as new music goes. Must be the fact that everyone's gearing up for the big fall release season--and, naturally, the music blogs are on top of all the best new stuff already. That would explain it! Our travels this week take us to Sweden (where we speak with Felicia from FIRST UP!, and find out how a nice girl from the country became one of the most bad-ass chicks in the game), down to Austin, Texas (where Lawrence from COVERT CURIOSTY tells us why that city is the music blogging capitol of the world) and with stops in Sheffield, UK; Brooklyn, NY; and atop Treasure Fingers' velvet-y soft turntable. Mmmm. There's lots of new music, including a rundown of the ten most-talked about bands of the week (around the blogosphere, at least) on the Official Blog Fresh Chart. Plus, Abbey returns from Lollaplooza to give us her post-festival report--and present this week's show--before racing off to All Points West and more summer festival madness. Where's the buzz?

We're posting this latest show during the week of America's Independence Day holiday. A lesser site might dabble in wordplay about Independence Day and "independent" music or some such obviosity. Not here. No, we're more concerned with the fact that we get an extra day off and an excuse to crank up some fresh new music. To that end, we've been trawling our favorite music blogs for suggestions--and they have not let us down. On the show this week, we listen to new stuff from such freedom-lovin' locales as Paris, Vancouver, Manchester and beyond. We check in with one of our favorite Aussie bloggers to find out what's been cooking not just down under but also way up north (since he's a big Broken Social Scene fan, we had him give us the scoop on Brendan Canning's new solo record). And we look at the ten most-buzzed-about bands of the week via the Blog Fresh Chart. Finally, we have a special guest blogger on the show this week in the form of Ice Cream Man! We go "behind the ice cream truck" to find out just how this dude manages to drive around the country going to all the big music events, giving away free ice cream and blogging about his adventures. Ice Cream Man and our host Abbey were both down at Bonnaroo, so they combine to give us a quick festival re-cap, to boot. So there you have it. Whatever country you're in, we urge you to go forth and celebrate your very own "independent" taste in music (OK, so maybe we did go there after all...) and dig this week's show!

After a weekend of crappy weather here on the East Coast, the crew at Blog Fresh Towers were slightly jealous of the folks basking in California sunshine at Coachella this past weekend. Who needs My Bloody Valentine when you've got Prince covering Radiohead? That said, we're happy we didn't have to fly back redeye-style last night and grapple with jetlag today, because we had a show to finish. And it's a good one. We even touche on some "hot button" issues! Specifically, Matthew from the great Scot blog Song by Toad talks about what happens when 'The Man' comes knocking to tell you to remove an mp3 from your site. You might be surprised by his response. We also have our first-ever Norwegian blog on the show this week, Knut from Eardrums. Heck, we feature enough Scandinavian music on this show, so now we have an authority who is even closer to the action. (Hmmm, now if we can just get Denmark on board!) Also on the show: Colin Cubik talks reggae mash-ups from France, and Quick Before it Melts looks into current Manchester sensations, The Courteneers. We've also got old Manchester sensations, The Fall, with something from their new album, and the most-blogged-about band of the week, My Morning Jacket. For more analysis of our official Blog Fresh Chart, you can check out Rolling Stone.com's weekly feature, "Hit or Hype."

There's also nothing grumpy about that new Free Blood track that kicks it all off. Even the typically icy Ladytron seem to be warming up (slightly) on their new song, which is our Blog Fresh Chart Selection this week. To talk about all this fresh and seasonally-appropriate music are some of our favorite blogs: Green Peaness, Lost in Your Inbox, Yer Mam!, It's Hard to Find a Friend (who donates a song from his exclusive Backstage Session series), and The Finest Kiss.

We are excited to see so many members of the Blog Fresh Posse in the flesh, and also stoked to be part of several blogger-organized events. The first is Above the Radar, which happens on Thursday afternoon. It's put together by our pals Cubik Musik, Covert Curiosity, Sonic Itch Music and Seattle's Sound on the Sound (on the show this week talking about Thee Emergency--the extra E is for Energy--who are playing Above the Radar). We're also involved with the After the Jump crew, a charity organization of 20 or so New York blogs (including The Modern Age, Jinners, Earfarm, and Punk Photo [home to your Blog Fresh host Abbey]) that give all proceeds from their shows to fund music education programs in New York schools. Pretty cool, right? The ATJ folks are putting on a whopping four events during the fest, three of which are free and open to the public. And we've got Music Slut contributor (and ATJ legal man) Jed on the show this week to tell us about superb Manchester band The Answering Machine, who play their Saturday party.

Happy Holidays, everybody! Hope you're all relaxing in the glow of a warm fire, sorting through all the gifts from loved ones, figuring out which ones you're going to return. Did you get a Wii this year? Neither did we. Thanks for nothing, Santa! But this time of year is not really about gifts, it's about lists. You know, the kind music bloggers make -- weighing in on the past 12 months of music, cobbling together Best Of lists for albums, singles, live shows, local bands, and so forth. So we took the opportunity to talk to as many of our Blog Fresh Posse as we could about 2007: The Year That Was. We've got a record 12 bloggers on this extended show, talking about their lists, their blogs, the music they loved, and the music they didn't. Surprisingly, no one talked about blog staples like The Arcade Fire, Les Savvy Fav or Battles. Then again, no one talked about that "Chocolate Rain" guy either, so maybe it all worked out in the end. Hopefully you'll discover something new and awesome on our 2007 Year End Fantabular, which is really what music blogs -- and our show -- are all about. As this is an extra-long edition of Blog Fresh, we're going to keep this one up for a bit longer, and then we'll follow it up with a downloadable Year-End Mix with songs picked by the Blog Fresh Posse.
