Music is Beauty...

Music, what would we do without it?
Well, some people might not necessarily be going ape shit if music fell deaf on their ears, but this page is for those of us who would go insane without it. These days it seems harder to find decent music so let's help each other out!

I'll do my part by posting daily (perhaps weekly if it gets to be too much) a featured band or song (and maybe even the music video along with it if it's worth showing) that I think we can benefit from discovering. I'll try and vary the genres so we build a good selection, but for now since I'm a little new to some genres I'll just stick to the ones I feel comfortable with. Feel free to suggest a genre or band that you would like to share or have me look into. Most likely, you'll see it on this page sooner or later. But remember to visit often (if you want) so that you can discover a new band that you may or may not like. And that's ok if you don't like it because sometimes what sounds like summer in one person's ear may sound like death in another's.

For the overall music-lover who has iGoogle, there is a really nifty gadget-thingy that you can add to your page. It's titled simply FREE iTUNES DOWNLOADS. This let's you know everything on iTunes that is free. It updates automatically and lets you browse through music, videos, clips, games, and books that iTunes is trying to promote by making them free. *side note: the books and videos are either behind the scenes, excerpts, commentary, and other little things that don't really interest me, but maybe you'd like! But there are full pilot episodes of new series such as Parenthood and full length music videos and other cooler things. The songs are always full length by the way.

moving on...

This is for all you indie/alternative fans. Urban Outfitters (is a clothing store for those of you are unfamiliar with it) has a blog where they upload 20 FREE songs periodically. It's 100% legal so don't worry about it. They also have a thing called Music Mondays which is when they upload a list of 5 FREE songs that -guess what- you can download. So all in all, if my math is correct, thats 25 FREE indie/alternative songs!!
The only downside to these tracklists is that you cannot download the songs individually. It's either all or nothin'. Oh! And after a certain amount of time goes by the tracklists "expire" meaning they are no longer for free, but you can still buy them on iTunes. Check the below link weekly for new songs.


Hopefully I will have more tips about how to get more music for less to no money. Afterall, we are in a recession.

In the mean time, here is our first song... much more to come.
