Comfort Stand Recordings - Great FREE Music

Okay, people, this seriously kicks some ass.

Comfort Stand Recordings

I found out about this on Wil Wheaton's blog, and he describes it pretty well, but here's something directly from CSR's page:

Comfort Stand Recordings is a community-driven label where all releases are free with artwork and liner notes. We strive to bring you recordings that we find interesting, compelling and downright enjoyable. We are not genre-specific and feature a wide range of material, from well-known performers to those loud unknown kids down your block.

We are not a business. We're not out to make a profit. There are no banners, popups, or spam at Comfort Stand. You don't have to register yourself to download the music you like. We operate under the ideology that money need not come between artists and audience.

Comfort Stand artists retain all rights to their recordings (and all artists have 100% creative control over their work). It is a label run by artists for artists.

You can listen, copy and create CDs with the music on this website as long as it is for your personal and private purpose. You can offer and download this music from any file-sharing network, you can give it to your friends and you are welcome to play it on radio stations and net streams. However, you are not allowed to use and/or sell this music for commercial purposes unless, of course, permission is granted from the artist in question. We have a Creative Commons license in place for each release. The bulk get the Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0 license while others falling into the public domain receive the Public Domain Dedication.

Isn't that freakin' awesome? A whole bunch of artists (GOOD artists) with music (GOOD music), offering it to everyone for free? I just found them, and I'm only three songs into their porn-film tribute, Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka, but so far, I really like what I hear.

I'm really excited to see a label like this...try it out if you get a chance - and if you find any good compilations or songs, please share with us. Wil recommends Swingin' Singles - I haven't gotten there yet, but I plan to.
