Not to be confused with the Live Music Archive (see the MP3 Hub section, above), the Free Music Archive is a new (in 2009) resource of free and legal MP3s that was launched by the venerable NYC-area public radio station, WFMU (which is, you should know, the longest-running free-form radio station in the US). The Free Music Archive describes itself as "a social music website built around a curated library of free, legal audio." Featuring downloadable songs placed online by WFMU, KEXP, and a handful of other interesting musical organizations, the Free Music Archive can be browsed by curator or genre, but you have to thumb through a lot--there are no easy indexes to get a broad look at the offerings. And while the site claims to have more than 5,000 MP3s available, what's here is decidedly idiosyncratic. Still, as a large repository of free and legal MP3s, it's worth a visit every now and then.

"People's Music Store is a newly launched DIY online music store. It was created by the founder of MP3 reseller Bleep.com, Ged Day. People's Music Store styles itself as "the first music store entirely powered by music fans." Basically the service allows you to set up your own custom-designed record store, with music chosen from a catalogue of indie record labels (so far no major record label music). The idea is that you earn points, equivalent to 10% of the price of the single, EP or album that you sell. These points can only be used to buy other music items on the People's Music Store site. There are more than 650 stores currently, with over 250,000 songs in the catalogue - most appear to be available at $0.99 per song or $8.99 per album. The site claims to be "working with" 4,500 labels, including 4AD, XL, Rough Trade, Matador, Dominio, and Ged Day's own Warp. Other than the lack of major label music, there is another minor annoyance for those of us who don't live in the U.S. - international users will frequently run into a "we're sorry, but this release is not available in your country" message. However on the plus side, all the music available for download is DRM-free and at high quality 320Kbps." [reawriteweb]

Kim Cao, auteur-compositeur éclectique et à fleur de mots, au grain de voix peu commun, navigue fièrement à travers les styles musicaux et les sensibilités. Jouant avec les phrasés comme avec les sens, il surprend, ose, et en impose... Le métissage incarne pour lui la conséquence naturelle de l'évolution de la musique actuelle; omniprésent et fédérateur, il emplit ses chansons d'un exotisme familier, un bol d'air frais pour les esprits éveillés à la richesse de la diversité. Kim Cao est à géométrie variable, c'est ce qui fait sa force. Sur scène, en formule guitare-voix, humour zébré en bandoulière, Kim dévoile son univers, touchant de réalité. Il se livre tout entier, et met en valeur chaque parole et chaque note par des silences chirurgicaux. A la fois puissant et mélodieux, émouvant et entraînant, cet artiste solo pénètre les blindages les plus coriaces, fait danser les plus réticents... Attisant notre énergie, Kim Cao nous transporte, nous élève, puis nous refait toucher terre avec ses textes cinglants. Menant seul sa barque sur le fleuve des productions musicales, il nous offre un contenu minimaliste et percutant.

"This is the blog version of the Fingertips web site, which is the web's longest-running guide to high-quality free and legal MP3s.
