like it is.

hhhhheck yes.




damnwells for free next week. i'm a little excited.

now, i'm a huge proponent of supporting music and musicians that you enjoy (especially quality stuff like this) but being that i'm quite on the poor side i'm going to take full advantage of this free download and then 'pay it forward' per se when i have the opportunity to shell out the dough. but alex makes a lovely point in his blog

I suppose the hardest thing to explain to people is why I’m giving this record away. “You’re just going to give it away?” seems antithetical to the human brain. “Is this just a bunch of b-sides or something? Some ‘give away’ material you don’t mind releasing into the ether?” No. Quite the contrary. I have never worked so hard or put so much of myself into a collection of recorded songs. It is for just this reason that I want to give it away. To me it makes perfect sense. I just want people to hear this music, and I don’t want them to have to enter into some kind of contractual agreement with a third party to do so. Download the record, copy it and give it to your friends, lovers, and enemies. Whatever. It’s so hard these days just to get the actual music into people’s houses and cars, let alone their ears. Besides, I know everyone’s broke, maybe I can supply the soundtrack. So, I just want to give this music away because I want people to hear it. I should have done this years ago. I’m starting over.

awesome.
