It’s been a while since I pulled down some good free music. I stopped obsessing over every<\/a> Mercedes<\/a> Benz<\/a> Mixed<\/a> tape<\/a> and haven’t gone on a mash-up bender<\/a> for years. Yesterday, however, a couple free albums caught my attention.<\/p>\n

Harvey Danger – Little by Little<\/a><\/h3>\n

Harvey Danger has put their third album up for a free download in the hopes that you’ll try it, like it and buy it. While the album is free, the band is relying on your honesty to buy it if you like it. I personally like this model, partially because I have a huge tendency to feel guilty about intellectual copyright so I’m sure I’ll pay if I like it. I do hope that enough of the public also steps up and pays because I’d be really cool to see this type of trust continue.<\/p>\n

My take? It’s catchy pop\/rock with pervasive piano and harmonies giving it a decidedly Beatle-esque feel (which isn’t bad in my book). And, heck, they’re a Seattle band. Note: if you really like it you may want to get the CD since it has 9 more tracks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get it!<\/a><\/p>\n

NIN|JA – Tour Sampler EP<\/a><\/h3>\n

Perhaps they’re touring together because they have similar music, perhaps it’s mutual respect between the bands… I think it’s just because they realized that combining their names creates "NIN|JA". Whatever the reason, Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction (and Street Sweeper) are offering a free sampler album with two tracks from each band to help promote the tour. Unlike other "check us out, please" free albums, this one is promotional and doesn’t come with the guilt of needing to donate money (other than you should go buy tickets and see them live… unless you’re old like me and would probably break a hip in the mosh pit).<\/p>\n

My take? Classic NIN and Jane’s Addiction sound. Turn it up and let your ears bleed freely. I was also pleasantly surprised by Street Sweeper, a nice Industrial\/Nu Metal blend with a bit of gansta’ rap special sauce poured on top.<\/p>\n

Get it!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
