Travis Seitler: Web Designer

This dude took pride in his cause
Everyday put on his costume which defined who he was
He said he didn’t care, he liked being unique
Accused the rest of the world of being a bunch of sheep

Lived his life going against the grain
Spent all of his time with those who felt the same
Hit his mid-twenties and still nothing’s changed
Except his boys who chose to grow with age

Now he’s looking for friends with the same behavior
He hangs out on campus with a bunch of teenagers
He’s punk rock, he’s hip-hop, he’s everything the system’s not
And he likes it that way

He likes being on the defense
He likes having something to fight against
He likes calling himself a revolutionist…

— John Reuben, Cooperate

This just in: Donald Duck tried to mass-duplicate and sell pirated copies of a popular album on CD, and got caught (and fined) by the record label’s CEO! It’s all in Dutch, though, so good luck reading it.

Well, at the very least this proves that Disney comics can command attention in the U.S.!

It’s kinda late in the day, but I want to post this quick: it’s Friday-only download, and after tonight the link’s down forever!

Drop your e-mail address in the box at MyFreeMusicFriday and you can grab Robbie Seay Band’s New Day (from the album Give Yourself Away, pictured here). There’s two more MP3s there, but this one’s my favorite from this week’s offerings.

Years ago when Outkast’s Hey Ya was all over the airwaves, I was working the graveyard shift at another job. The people there kept the radio tuned to a Top 40 station that played it constantly. I don’t think I’ve ever been so irritated by a song. But this acoustic version… this I actually like! Wow… (HT: Scott Burness)

I think it might be the result of recent promotions like Derek Webb’s FreeDerekWebb project, but regardless of what’s spurred it on, there’s been a couple “free and legal Christian MP3 downloads” websites that have come to my attention over the past week or so. I’m providing links to them now, both for your sake and mine (I can be forgetful at times):

My Free Music Friday (e-mail address required).

“We at MyFreeMusicFriday are a group of music lovers/marketers that all too often find ourselves trapped within the confusion and extremely over analyzed modern music industry. It just happened to be in a confused and over-thought marketing meeting that we remembered the most powerful tool for selling music… MUSIC. What better way to expose music than by allowing people the freedom to listen. As we pondered this extremely elementary concept, we agreed to develop MyFreeMusicFriday.com, a program that is so simple that it is explained in its name. Personal. Free. Music. Friday… It is really hard for anyone not to like it.”

It doesn’t matter that Geoff Moore grew stale to me in the late nineties. I still like enough of what they’ve offered here (this time around, at least).

FreeCCM.com (registration required).

This looks to be a site specifically designed to promote artists on the INO Records label. There’s some decent stuff here. (I have to say that—I just got a Derek Webb track from ‘em!)
