Legally Free Music from Artists you may enjoy

Ok, So I've been doing some research for awhile on legally free music and thought I'd share some resources with y'all.

First of I gotta say, there's TONS of artists giving out their stuff for free, so I'm not posting everything I've found.  I'm putting up websites that are excellent resources for that stuff and some examples, not every single thing I've found.  IOW, if you like what I put up, you'll probably be able to find more yourself if you look.  Anyway, let's go:

B. Reith is coming out with a free remix-mixtape!  It'll be out the 29th this month.  B. Reith is what would happen if Eminem was fused with Jason mraz.  Honestly, I have a friend who hates rap/hip hop, and he enjoys this guy.

Jesus Freak Hideout has a 37 song multi-genre sampler out! Click here to find out more and how to download it. I highly recommend it. (They also have a page for free music with samples from all genres--Sara Groves to Thousand Foot Krutch to Matt Maher.): http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/downloads/freemusic.asp

Alright, sorry, but I have more rap stuff.  Bear with me.

Beautiful Eulogy's newly released "Satellite Kite"  and Theory Hazit's "Thr3e" are available from their publisher as FREE Downloads!!  If you like spoken poetry, you will love Satellite Kite, maybe even Thr3e.

Heath McNease:
This guy is a beast of a work-horse. (Rapper/acoustic guitarist)  His albums here(Thrift store Jesus, Wed White Wu, and Outta Console) are free, unless you choose to leave a tip.  Just put the amount as 0 and you will be emailed the goods.  He's fun and goofy ("Tanuki") yet very mature at times(Ground Hog Day, Thrift Store Jesus, Survival of the Fiddest). If you like experimental/hip hop/video games/acoustic stuff, you will probably find something to like from him.

Noisetrade Stuff:

I can't recommend Noisetrade enough!! (Now there are a lot of non Christian musicians there too)  This is the site that I am most unfamiliar with, but here's what I do know. All the music is free, leave your email and they'll send you the music(you don't have to press the leave a tip button).  They're lots of artists, Lecrae(he has a full album for free!), Tedashii, Trip Lee, KB, Sho Baraka, This'l, and Andy Mineo as far as rap goes.  Sara Groves, Jars of Clay, Poema (pretty good sister piano pop duo.), Five Iron Frenzy, Iona (a cool Irish band), and Jon McLaughlin are some more artists you may be interested in.  There's so many! And so many I don't know! (And I know about a lot of musicians, albeit more of the lesser know variety). 

Here's the link: http://noisetrade.com/

Sheesh, who says there is no good Christian music.
 Take Care!


If you have some artists you wish to share about, leave a comment and let us know!  Just make sure the free music is LEGALLY free.  Just sayin.

(I've got more stuff a-coming, dontcha worry)

You know it's hard.. (A friendly Saturday post)

What does it mean to trust? (I think) it means to give up some thing to some one/thing else. To give it away. That's what God's been doing with me lately: teaching me to trust Him. To give Him not one thing, not most things, but everything. It's hard, and my life's been hard lately.

But why should I worry? Everything I've given up, is now in much better hands.

I could go on and about the specific things God is teaching me to trust Him with, and I could show you how He has used every circumstance for my benefit and His glory,(Romans 8:28). But I don't think I really need to: I know He's doing the same stuff in your life.  You may not see it now, but I bet the more you trust Him, the more you watch what is going on, and the more you are willing to be content with askew plans, the more you'll see Him working.

"Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word.
just to take Him at His word, just to rest upon His promise...

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, I've prov'd Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, O for grace to trust Him more."

"We will never walk alone."-Jars of clay, "Shelter"

On that note, glad to be back! Will plan on updating more often(honest!).

 What I've been:

Reading: Jane Eyre. So far so good.  Bronte is excellent at describing how a woman thinks and feels. Any writer who wishes to portray an elegant mind's thinking habits, should study Jane Eyre. Also, Bronte is excellent at description! I hope to finish soon, will update more then.

VG's: Just finished Paper Mario Thousand Year old Door. One of the funniest games I've played! It is nearly perfect in every way, (iow, I can hardly think of anything that could be improved).  Some of my favorite quotes:

 [a random goomba who wants a girldfriend]: "Will you go out with me?"
[Goombella]: No, I'm, uh, with Mario!
[Mario]: ??!?!?
[random goomba]: ".....................................................................
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan,
I've had enough of this!
*walks a little*
PEACE!"
*leaves*

[Yoshi, a scruffy yet (dare I say it) cute little guy]:
"Big deal'?!? You stink, Mister! Why'd you wanna turn them into pigs, anyway?"
"They're sending us all their wishes and positive energy... That is so AWESOME!"
[at the arctic] "It's stupid cold!"
 "So, that last Crystal Star we got on the Moon… NO! We're IDIOTS!
 (I intend to write a review of this game sometime. Once I don't have a musical breathing down my back. I reccomend it to almost everyone.)

Music: Audrey Assad's Heart,(So good!) Monk & Neagle: "Fallin"(from 21st time), Mat Kearney's newest album :Young Love, a good amount of David Crowder(All I can Say, Church Music Give us Rest), and some Jon Foreman(Winter Ep).

What's everyone listening to?
