Free MP3s

[yendi]

Amazon has a surprisingly decent collection of free MP3s up. Some of it's utter shite, of course, but they've got a nice chunk of Bad Religion, the Hives, Tom Waits, Alison Kraus, Rancid (no Op Ivy or DHC, though), Dropkick Murphys, NOFX, and selections from others (including Tanya Donelly's latest, which isn't exactly up to Belly or Breeders standards, but would be perfect background music on Gilmore Girls, and has the line, "every day brings a new breed of jackass," which should be my work .sig file). Most of it's stuff that fans are likely to have, but it's still kinda nifty. Some categories (punk, folk) are better stocked than others (comedy), and their categorization leaves something to be desired (Rancid is under punk but not ska, even though most of the cuts are from ". . . And Out Come the Wolves"), but there's still good stuff there.. You can browse them all at:
