I believe that Dr. Alex Patterson from the Orb once said, “You aren’t somebody till you get sued”…
I got my first letter of MP3 copyright infringment today for my posting about Thom Yorke.
Let me say a few things… First, I only post songs by artists I love and respect. Secondly, I strongly suggest that people use the music I post as a sampling tool. I also suggest for everyone to purchase each record, if they find something they like. Finally, as an Artist, myself, I understand how difficult it is to make a living doing something you love, so please support all these artists, by seeing them live, buying tshirts and records and giving them all handjobs at very least.
With that being said, here’s 4 songs I know I won’t get sued for posting.
Elliott SMith (Live) – Angeles (this version shows how he was live…, possibly fucked up but always endearing)
Iron and Wine (live) – Dearest Forsaken
Sage Francis (live) – Makeshift Patriot (the best hip hop song about 9 /11)
Sufjan Stevens (live) – Opie’s Funeral Song
Thank you for reading. tpg.

[...] So as most of you know, ever since my Thom Yorke catastrophe I don’t really leak music at all. So below are two harder to find songs from both Jose and Beirut. Please buy both new records when they come out cause they are both really great. [...]
