Hey Folks,
As I have been keeping up with my post I have noticed something. It is all about me. Me, Me, Me, Me, Me. Well, enough about me. I want to give back (and isn't that what I am all about, me, me...wait. No, you, you, you, etc). Today I going to offer you a little tip on a couple of places you can get FREE LEGAL GOOD MUSIC (those aren't always the same thing). I am not sure about you, but I have given up my life of crime of robbing innocent artist and record execs from their hard earned stratch. So below are some legal and safe sites you can get some great music on the cheap (free that is).
Pure Volume
This is the mecca. Not only does it have close to a thousand songs you can download, you can also sign up (for free) and you can create your own favorite artist section and create playlist from the songs on the site...super rad. Mostly indie rock, but their is some other music in there too.
Highlights: Mae (just amazing music), Underoath (what all the kids are listening to these days), Emery, Anberlin, Jason Harwell, Jon Black (my peps) and a great Sampler from Tooth & Nail with over 30 songs.
Amazon
I just discovered this site yesterday. They don't have quite as good a selection of good music but they have over 200 songs available. Granted, only 10-ish interested me, they have a bunch of free Christmas music and some other hidden gems.
Highlights: Alison Krauss & Union Station (if you don't know her you should be ashamed of yourself) , Sufjan Stevens (weird fun music), the Hives (not my taste, but they are ok), Matisyahu (just another Jewish reggae rapper...seriously, this guy is great)
Grassroots Music
Some of you might be fimilar with this site. It is a great place to get good music at a good price, but you might not know about the download page. Artist like: Derek Webb, Don Chaffer (of Waterdeep), Jason Harwell, Shane & Shane, and about another 50 or so.
Free Derek Webb
This is another new find. As of Sept 1st Derek Webb is going to be opening a site with mp3's of his most recent CD, Mockingbird. If you haven't spent anytime with Derek Webb, what a sad and pitiful life you live. If you are really clueless, he is one of the guys from Caedmon's Call (p.s. For all of you guitar players out there, here is a link the greatest collection of Caedmon's Call tabs on the net).
Ok, as usually I have given of my self selflessly. You are welcome.

two 'real' posts into the blogging and kirk is feeling selfish... seriously, man, you're living with too much guilt. you're ok. you is good people.
i found the free dwebb the other day, too. thanks for the music tips. "kirk" loosely translated from the original hebrew means "giver".
thanks kirk, been listening a little... still have to check out some of the groups you mentioned. (what's that rebuilt records thing... i've never heard you mention that before- wink, wink)
