This afternoon as I caught up on articles in my Google Reader (which I recommend you use and if you already do, suggest that you subscribe to my blog with the link in the top right corner), I saw that Paul Westerberg has another song for download. This one – “Bored of Edukation” – is for $.99 on Amazon right now.
However, I’ve noticed something somewhat odd – blogs mention (often favorably) Westerberg’s low pricing for his music and then proceed to host a link to the mp3 for free. I guess these blogs must have more faith than I do that people will buy it if they like it. I’m definitely not criticizing – I’ve been known to sample music without donating to the tip jar, if you catch my drift – I’m just pointing out that is seems kind of strange.
Regardless, Consequence of Sound has “Bored of Edukation” if you want to check it out, and I am Fuel, You Are Friends has “5:05.”
