Mountain Goats Pull A Radiohead 2008-10-19 by Athom EMERITUS | 10 Comments | John Darnielle (aka The Mountain Goats) has made his new EP Satanic Messiah available at http://www.satanicmessiah.com/. The EP is free to download, though donations are strongly encouraged.
Quote:
Four songs I recorded by myself with Scott Solter in Monroe, North Carolina, are now available for download here. The songs will also be available as a limited edition double-7" in a gatefold hi-gloss sleeve, etc., but when I say "limited," I mean it, so please don't hold out for the vinyl; only 665 people will get a copy. (I will be the 666th.) An option to pay me for my work is available at the linked site, but is by no means a requirement prior to download, as that would be weasel business. You do what you feel. I hope you like these songs; I am fond of them; they remind me of old vanished things. They're yours now! Share as you see fit, but if you wanna point people at the donation pages, I would appreciate that; there's an .rtf file included in the .zip file that encloses the songs, so if you just share the whole thing zipped, you won't need to do any why-don't-you-donate evangelization yourself. But don't let me stop you! The evangelical urge must go forth unchecked if the Word is to be spread far and wide.
Your servant

Nice to see that released music for free online is now synonumus with radiohead, even though they wern't the pioneers, they were just the biggest name act to do it
| | |
synonymous*
Anyway, will get.
| | |
thats what i said... i just spelt it wrong
| | |
just finished listening, very good for free music
| | |
not bad...
| | |
^agreed
in other news, this is fugging awesome
| | |
this action will always be a "radiohead" thing from now on im afraid
| | |
The Radiohead comparison was for having the option to pay what you want for it (if you felt inclined to)... anyways this is some good shit.
| | |
DIY bands have been letting people pay what they want for years. IMO, it's not surprising that Radiohead did a pay-what-you-want thing, but that Thom Yorke's dick hasn't fallen off due to every twentysomething in the nation sucking it.

How profound.
