Listen and if you dig it download it.

WTF?

That's crazy, where do you enter your credit card number?

YOU DON'T?

WTF?

Ok so I'm trying to express in a crass way why jamendo.com is fucking awesome.

Just set it to play, if you dig a song, just press download, if you don't skip to the next song, and you are thinking no doubt but that means the music must be real shitty, sorry to disappoint you the music is up to par. Yes it's legal and free and it's a great way to discover music, so what are you doing wasting away here reading this when you could be listening to new music.

The music might not all hit home but you can search by artist, album, tags, there are radio stations and playlists. It's no frills logical approach to distributing free music, exposing folks to stuff they would never ever hear otherwise.

No I was not paid to push the site. I just happen to be a musician who would have no chance if not for websites like this and so I fully support the world truly being open and free. Also as a fanatic of music I love finding new music. You don't have to enter your email adress, unless you want them to send you stuff, and some of the artists have a place where you can donate to them, so if you dig the music a lot, you can directly support them, what could be more awesome?

Creative Commons tastes better.

Creative Commons is awesome, if you are interested in it, you can read about it here http://creativecommons.org/about/ I highly encourage it.

We at the LAN Party enjoy Creative Commons very much and if you listen to the show, then you know that we try to feature as many artists as possible who give away their music for free. Creative Commons let's you do that, but it also gives you control over specific rights like weather or not you want your music which you give away taken and then used in a Flo Rida song and then watching as they make tons of money off it and don't in anyway have to pass on the same generosity.

So with that in mind we share another website that shares Free Creative Commons music. http://sutros.com/ If you are an artist throw your stuff up there, embed the crap out of it, and get some free exposure. If you're a fan, go explore, we will no doubt find something fitting for the show, in fact we already have, listen for it next week.

Free music

Creative Commons agreements are wonderful; there is literally no end to the amount of legitimately free music to explore.

With that in mind, I've found some excellent sites I've been browsing for material, for both the show and my own musical meanderings.

Da ! Heard It Records

Listen for some music from D!HI Records next week on the show!
