News article alert!
The Oct. 7th Sunday Times (UK) published an article titled “The day the music industry died”. It is an interesting look at why major artists are giving away their music and why the record industry is headed downhill.
But take a look an this excerpt…
The scale of this charitable epidemic can be measured by a quick browse of the Free Albums Galore blog that lists more than 800 albums by a range of artists – from the Beastie Boys to some unsigned metal bands – all of which are free to download.
Thanks, Times, for the mention. This explains why my visitation numbers, which are already in four digits, tripled today.
And thanks to Daleyblog for pointing the article out to me.
I’m glad I found this blog throught the article. Thanks for running this, it’s just great.

Nice one although I guess the Sunday Times got the idea for the article and your blog from the piece in the Guardian on Friday! No change there then!!!

Glad they had the article and happy it was placed on reddit or I would never have found it. I have been looking for a site like yours for ages.
