I'm not sure if anyone else on this board shares my interest in ancient country music but I'll post this anyway.

Bopping

I found so many cool songs through this site that I never would have heard otherwise.

Updated every two weeks with out of print little known regional recordings from the late 30's to early 50's. Includes historical documentation.

Some of it is noise that you can use to make music.

It's all free to use in even commercial projects.

The last link has a section of live recordings. I think we've discussed that here before, but it's worth looking at again.

Cool! As long as they are legal downloads I think this is a great idea for a thread...

+1 to this..

What began as a challenge in February 2010 to write and record an entire album in one month inspired two men to create music at maximum efficiency year-round. Since then nearly every Sunday has been spent quarantined in their studio creating a fusion of sound that blends their love of all genres. They encourage friends to join them, lending a dynamic variety to the music that is Forever & Everest.

Some neat stuff there.

Not sure if this is a local thing or not, but Freegal Music offers 3 free downloads per week through your public library. Their selection is pretty decent and consists of the Sony catalog.

From their website:

The Freegal Music Service is a download music service sold to Libraries for free use by its registered cardholders. Please check with your local library to see if they have subscribed to the service. The service is only available to subscribing libraries and members, and you must enter the Freegal Site via the Library URL.

The Freegal Music Service is operated by a private company, Library Ideas, LLC of Fairfax, Virginia. For questions about the service, please contact your subscribing library.

They have a mobile app for both IOS and Android.

Our library does something similar. Might even be the same thing.

I'm going to be releasing a new album soon, but here's the old one for free.

Just put in "0" for the price. I won't spam you either.

I've got a few Starbucks Pick Of The Week cards that I acquired while travelling this month.

They don't work in the Canadian iTunes store. So, if anyone want's 'em, send me a PM and I'll send you the code(s).

I've got one for "Shake" by The Head and The Heart


I've got 2 codes for "Sugar Won't Work" by Elvis Costello and The Roots.
