Josh Dooley of Map definitely counts as one of those. His song writing and guitar playing skills are genius. Don\u2019t believe me? Think I am just being a silly fanboy? Well, now you have the chance to find out for yourself. Mr. Dooley has compiled 12 of his best tracks and made a free sampler called<em> Pistols and Pearls<\/em>. <a href=\"http:\/\/lonelinessisdangerous.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Available through his BandCamp page,<\/a> you can listen online or download in any format you like. The songs were written over a nine year period, yet they surprisingly make a fairly cohesive album on their own. I burned a copy to listen to as I drive, and there are really only slight differences in recording quality that you would probably only notice if you listen to them too loud like I do. Style-wise, this is dreamy, melancholy alternative music that sounds like it was woven together more than played and recorded. These songs were released originally by Velvet Blue Music \u2013 so how could you go wrong there? New music is coming soon according to Dooley, so check out this compilation to see why you should be excited about that.<\/p>\n[2011 Independent | Download:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lonelinessisdangerous.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">lonelinessisdangerous.bandcamp.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think we have a knack at DTL for loving under-appreciated bands and artists.
