A while back you may remember when I picked the song "Can I Pay You With Sunshine" by Andy Swan for my Track of the Day. Now Andy's back with his other incarnation, The Michael Parks.
Andy is joined by Shayne Cox (Sports:The Band), Sandro Perri, and Greg Smith (The Weakerthans), which itself is very, very cool.
And yes, the music is incredible. Pure Andy Swan. Amazing melodies, beautifully clever lyrics, and economical delivery. That's all cool, too. But the coolest part of this record is what's written on their website:
"There are no labels, publicists, distributors, retailers, consolidators, manufacturers, lawyers, agents, interns or plastics involved. The music is free, from me to you."
So, go get the free record. Then, when The Michael Parks come to a town near you, pay a cover and go see them. Buy another record at the gig. Maybe a shirt.
