Freebie Of The Year: 2006 Pitchfork Festival Music Sampler.

By now everyone knows the badasssssss Pitchfork is putting out what promises to be the biggest indie music jam of the year, and that it's all gonna break on the last two days of this July. What you may not know unless you are a Pitchfork regular is that these guys, in conjunction with the magnificent eMusic, have put out a FREE compilation of songs to herald this event. If you are an indie buff like me, the selection of tracks will impress you and your grandmother. This amazing freebie is available for download at eMusic, and you don't even have to be a paying suscriber to get it. Here are your options.

1) For those of you who never buy music, never!: Go to eMusic to sign up for eMusic's trial membership. You get 25 free songs, plus the Pitchfork compilation, and if you chose not to change your ways and continue with a paid subscription after the trial period, you just cancel and keep all the free music you got without obligations. Those of you in this category we'll call the FREELOADERS EXTRAORDINAIRE. Also, by signing up through this eMusic link or any eMusic link/banner on this blog, you help pay my ezarchive fees and feed my family in Africa. My lawyer job don't pay so well.
2) If you are already a paid subscriber, just login and search for Pitchfork. Then reap the fruits you have sown.
3) For those of you who like free music but never having to sign up for anything, enjoy staring at the playlist I have posted below. Just cause I care for you poor souls, I have provided four of the songs for your listening pleasure. Just find and click on the blue links.
