Free Albums! Recession-busting 100% Legal MP3's For Free!





Townsend Records are giving away a free album to download.

Don't ask why - I didn't either - just grab it!

It has an excellent live track by The Icicle Works on it.

And all for free!!!

Get it here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Nine Inch Nails are giving away an album too (the world has gone mad!).
It is available in various formats, MP3 is a direct free download but the other formats like FLAC etc. are torrent links. Legal to do so don't worry but you are gonna need a torrent application to get them!

You can get that from here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Coldplay are ALSO giving away an album!

According to the band, the give-away is meant as a recession-busting mark of gratitude to everyone who's supported them: "Playing live is what we love. This album is a thank you to our fans – the people who give us a reason to do it and make it happen."

The album was recorded over the past year in various cities around the world on the Viva La Vida tour. Its tracklisting is as follows:

1. Glass of Water
2. 42
3. Clocks
4. Strawberry Swing
5. The Hardest Part/Postcards From Far Away
6. Viva La Vida
7. Death Will Never Conquer
8. Fix You
9. Death And All His Friends

Get it here.

NB: There has been a HUGE response to Coldplay's free offer and their servers are finding it hard to cope! HA HA! So, if you cannot download this album, then please let me know and I will upload it here! What a nice guy I am!

The Doves are giving away an acoustic version of 'Birds Flew Backwards'.

In their own words:

"Birds Flew Backwards | Exclusive acoustic free download in BlogPublished May 10 2009 20:22The BBC (rather brilliantly it must be said) compared the original to "Wally Stott arranging the Beach Boys", it's the only Doves song ever to feature a Delruba (an Indian instrument that is a cross between a sitar and a cello, fact fans) and Andy recently told the Line of Best Fit website that the original demo for the song made him think of 'Nobody's Fault But My Own' from Beck's 'Mutations' album. We're talking, of course, about 'Kingdom Of Rust's delicate centre-piece 'Birds Flew Backwards'.

Well today, and for a limited time only, Doves.net are giving you the opportunity to download an acoustic (and scandalously beautiful) Mp3 version of the track exclusively through the website… simply because we can and we thought you might like it!

All you need to do to get your hands on the Mp3 is visit this link and type in a few details. Hurry though because we’re only allowed to make it available for a couple of days!"

The Twang are giving away a free track called 'Another Bus'.

More on this here.

Again, if anyone finds they cannot get ANY of these freebies - I have them all, so leave a comment and I will post them or suchlike for you all.
