Friday Freebies

Free samplers are the name of the game today.

Quote Unquote Records has posted their 2009 sampler. It’s got stuff from upcoming releases: Bomb the Music Industry‘s Scrambles, Let Me Crazy‘s Virgin Metal, O Pioneers!!!‘s Neon Creeps, as well as stuff from Laura Stevenson and Shinobu. They were doing this whole “pay what you want” thing way before Radiohead and Trent Reznor, so support them and their awesome releases so they keep their website running and have all this stuff available.

Suburban Home Records has also posted a sampler of their stuff. It’s called “2008 was a great year, 2009 will be better” and just smokes. Stuff from pretty much everything they released in ’08, as well as sneak peaks at some of their forthcoming releases for this year. Tim Barry (who’s playing Lawrence in March!), the Takers, Joey Cape, and 27 other artists. They actually do this for a living, so help Virgil and the crew out. The longer they keep going, the longer we’ll keep hearing the great music they put out. This is to say nothing of the crack-like addictive nature of Vinyl Collective, who I’m sure I’ve plugged far too many times here.
