I fail to see the error of this idea - IF there is a future in selling recorded music, this is the way it will happen. Eventually the CD will die and everyone will know how to download music for “free”.

Andrew Osenga just put up a new album for free on his site. My family and I have been listening to this album for the last week and loving it. Give it a listen and drop something in his tip jar if you like it.

Pedro the Lion frontman David Bazan has kind of made a name for himself by cussing. In particular it’s the juxtaposition of his Christian faith with his willingness to openly cuss that has brought an excessive amount of attention his way.

A History of Emotion: Personal reflections on the words and music of Counting Crows
PART 5 - Memories Are Films About Ghosts

PART 4 - A Long October Through February
Satellites and Live On A Wire
“Recovering the Satellites” is another gem, equal in emotional impact but showing a band that can rock as well as quietly emote. I don’t think I know another album that […]

Part 3: Capital “A” Confessions
It was fitting at the time of this writing that I was listening to “August…” on random and the album on that particular run through began with the song “Omaha” and the line “Start tearing the old man […]
