It was a good week for music. Lots of free stuff was made available this week and some of it is good. I’ve sifted through the fodder and pulled some gems, both from artists that you heard of, and some maybe you hadn’t. Some singles, some mixtapes, some playlists, all pleasant on the ears.

The good people over at
Blast Radius Inc., (also famous for the design of Nike’s Flight Club site and EA sports skate ads) has created a way to bring your Nike fandome to iPhone and iPod Touch: the Marsifier. True nerds such as myself don’t need an app, but for those that are beanie and black frame challenged, you can try out a Mars Blackmon makeover. This app comes at the release of a new Mars edition Spizike, which actually sounds like an oxymoron now that I see it in black and white. The app is free.99 and features a special video of the new sneaks. Do ya know? Do ya know do ya know? HAH?! Read more for screenshots of the app, pics of the sneaks and more Mars nostalgia.
