We Extended Our Extension.
Introducing exfm extension version 3.0.5.
Now with Trending, Explore and Search all tucked wonderfully into a tiny strip of stupendous. We’ve taken the web’s most powerful music discovery tool and made it even better.
It Works Like This:
You’re on a page – say one about Ben Sollee (he’s great btw). You say to yourself, “He seems like a swell lad I’d love to hear some of his music.” Just click the ex logo in your browser bar and the extension will drop down revealing the exfm Search box (along with links for Trending and Explore). Type Ben Sollee, hit return and exfm does the rest. A new tab opens automatically with every available song by Ben Sollee. It’s that easy. Works the same way when you click on Trending or Explore.
How To Install:
If you already have our extension installed it will update on its own in the next 24 to 48 hrs. If you haven’t yet visit ex.fm/chrome or ex.fm/safari to grab it now. It installs in seconds and delivers music all day long.

Please join us for a very special celebratory Groundhog Day night of music with two of our favorite Album of the Week picks, Snowmine and Spanish Prisoners.
Brooklyn local Field Mouse and Academy Award nominated artist Ben Lear will be performing, too, making this is one helluva lineup you won’t want to miss.
@Pianos
158 Ludlow St | New York, NY
Doors at 8:00 pm | Thursday February 2, 2012
Tickets $8 (all proceeds to artists) | 21+
Snowmine: The Brooklyn five-piece embraces an indie pop sound rich with echo pedals, tribal beats, electro-acoustic soundscapes and classical orchestrations. The band is fronted by new-classical composer Grayson Sanders, whose vocals have been compared to Robin Pecknold and Jim Jones. They’ll be heading in to the studio to begin work on their next full length LP, but for now keep an eye out for their upcoming duel remixes with Twin Sister.
Spanish Prisoners: Lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Leo Maymind and his bandmates – keyboardist/vocalist Amberly Hungerford, drummer/songwriter Mike DiSanto, and multi-instrumentalist James Higgs slowly molded fragments of home recordings into layered, fluid, headphone symphonies that emphasized the raw randomness in electronic sound. Their most recent release Gold Fools was recently recognized as one of the top five Bandcamp albums of 2011 by NPR.
Buy tickets here and rsvp. We can’t wait to see you and cheers to the little groundhog not seeing his shadow!

This is actually the craziest chart about Apple following their insane earnings today.
There is exactly one company on that entire list that is not an oil and gas company. And they’re not that far from the top.

BEΔCH HEΔRT: Sky Shatters
As soon as ’Sky Shatters’ was uploaded to soundcloud, one gentlemanly comment emerged: “I like it, but the vocals clip, maybe re-record it…”
The response: “It’s supposed to clip.”
The intention, in fact, according to San Francisco's Beach Heart, is for the track to be “pretty inaudible all around”. So yeah, the vocals go outside of their parameters, as do the sky-reaching synths. But the end result is undeniably pretty, even if the goal was to produce the complete opposite. With both the abrasiveness of a Knife-influenced Witch House act and the escapist glow of a glo-fi purveyor, it’s the mix of sour and sweet, harsh and warm, that makes the song as intriguing as it is.
