FREE: Sufjan Stevens, "Henry Buggy Band"

If you somehow have never heard of Sufjan, then you are about to be treated to music unlike anything you have ever heard. Very unique, Sufjan Stevens has become somewhat of a legend among singer songwriters for his brave style and superb songwriting... enjoy!

Note: when you go to the page linked below, make sure you right click on the the "free mp3" button and "save link as." Last.fm has some real work to do in the area of helping folks find free music...in my opinion of course. They seemed to have made this a bit difficult for folks to figure out. Do this, and you will be fine.

Several Links Are Down

Hey guys, if you are just finding me here, i just wanted to say check back soon. One of the host sites that i linked to often now longer exists as of today. music.download.com has been a great source for legal free music for many years and as of today it is now last.fm. They still have free tracks, but from what i can tell, they are much more difficult to find and don't seem to offer as much free music to fans. I'm going to work on this so check back! Meanwhile, there are many great free songs linked here that are not from download.com so enjoy!

UPDATE: As of now, last.fm does not seem to have the catalog of free mp3's that music.download.com had. Hopfully they will change, but for now several of our free mp3 links will be unavailable. I'm finding some new nooks and crannies that have good free downloads available so keep checking back!

FREE: Over The Rhine, "Entertaining Thoughts"

Once again a great track off the album, Trumpet Child, from what has probably become my favorite bands in the world today...

FREE: Matisyahu (track and live album!)

I downloaded Matisyahu's first live album on emusic several years ago and I've been following him ever since. He continues to make great spiritual/reggae music that would be a perfect soundtrack for anyone getting ready to head to the beach for spring break! If you sign up for his mailing list (again, perhaps use a secondary email address until you know you are a fan) you will get a free track and be able to download a live concert with some of his best hits over the past few years. Not a bad deal!

Is Anyone Out There?

Just sort of curious if anyone out there is benefiting from this blog... I'd really love to hear from you if so! I've got some ideas for this, but I'm just not sure who all is out there and how much time to invest! So... if you have found this to be helpful, please leave a comment. Or, perhaps you might have some ideas on how to share this with folks?

Thanks!
