Free Muzak

Found a new site that lists free MP3s you can download from all kinds of artists. Of course, before you download ANYTHING from the internet, please make sure that you have a good antivirus program and that it's up to date. A decent antispyware program is a good idea too...

Anyways, the site is sonicx.com and you can search for artists and see links to free downloads of songs from that artist. I've pulled down a few so far and they've all been clean as of yet. I also accidentally found a song I've been looking for that they play on KCRW pretty frequently (I still listen to KCRW Music online - great tunes. Another great online station based here in Seattle is KEXP).

Sorry, I know I'm rambling. Back to the story....

So, I heard this song on KCRW that I really liked and wrote down the name of the artist (Charlotte Gainsbourg) but for some reason couldn't find it in the regular places and forgot about it. I was looking for a different Charlotte Gainsbourg song and I accidentally found the one I had forgotten about and it's a free download!

Happy Amy.

Oh yeah, to listen to the MP3s before you download them, just click on the link. To download them, RIGHT click on the link (I have no idea what Mac people do with their single mouse button other than fondle it) and select Save link as (if you're using Firefox) or Save target as (if you're using Internet Explorer) and then click OK. Make sure you note the location where you're downloading the tune to so that you can find it later.

As a general rule, I avoid websites that end with a .ru (Russia). Weird internet things happen in Russia. Some of the links on the site don't work, but the majority of links I clicked worked.

The screenshot above is all the free music I just pulled down. Click on it if you're interested in actually being able to read a list of my odd (eclectic) taste in music.
