Free Music: The EP

posted by Noah at 4:50 PM
Can't believe I didn't hear about this til now...
50 Foot Wave (featuring Kristen Hersh of Throwing Muses) has released their latest EP "Free Music" as free downloadable MP3s and FLAC files. There's even album art. And it's all Creative Commons licensed! From their site:
The band is also encouraging fans to seed BitTorrents and set up CD burning trees to ensure that people without time or technology may also receive the free music...

The band's founder, Kristin Hersh, explains, "Money has so polluted the music world that my overwhelming urge right now is to divorce money from recorded music. Over the last 2 years we've been relying on standard 'industry' channels to help us educate listeners about 50 Foot Wave and we've met resistance every step of the way -- caused by little other than money -- and to an extent I've never seen before.
