My new EP: It will be free. Please share it.

So the first EP I'm recording as Norwegian Arms is mostly done, and by that I mean a little bit above fifty percent complete. I'm excited for it.

I did finish the insert to be placed inside, it's black and white and pretty boring. It'll be photocopied. Here's a picture:
Pretty amazing, huh? As you can see, it'll be four tracks and features the use of languages I don't actually speak. I'll be putting them up on myspace as they reach completion.

Oh, I also forgot to mention. This CD will be free, absolutely free. So when you get one, make four hundred copies for your friends, upload it to your favorite torrent tracker, add it to your shared files on LimeWire, SoulSeek, AIM, or whatever you use to otherwise illegally transfer music. Heck, put it on a jump drive and upload it to your local public school server. I will also host it on my website for a short time (before temple kicks me out for using too much bandwidth).

Why am I doing this? Because I firmly believe music it moving in the direction where it will be mostly or completely free. The only ones who grossly benefitted from CD sales were the labels, not the artists. That's why Virgin was suing people instead of The Backstreet Boys breaking down your door. I'm also doing it because I really don't expect to make money from any of this anyway, so why prevent people from listening to/having/sharing my music at all? I have jobs, a few dollars isn't going to make a huge difference.

That's all for now. Happy day.
