If you recall from last week, I mentioned that I love those free online samplers you can download from record companies as zip files to sample their wares. Well, record companies aren't the only ones--thanks to the wild-frontier-ness that still exists on this internet, many band will offer EPs and even whole albums up to net surfers for free; the band gets their music exposed and hopefully a paying customer for their next project, whereas lil' ol' us gets something for free--and stuff for free, as I'll always tell you, is the best stuff of all. Hell, we're now at a point where big name acts will give you free tracks and the like; I belong to the Coldplay mailing list, and not that long ago was treated to a special live EP the band released to their list members as a thank you for spending money on them during these trying times.
Which brings us to our song for the day, I can tell you it's not one I would have sought out if it wasn't for the free EP offer...but that's not necessarily a bad thing. 3rdness is a mainly electronic band, with an emphasis on repetitive synth loops and the rhythm carrying the song to its conclusion--we are talking about a song that maybe has about two dozen words in its lyrics, tops, most of them the chant 'This is on the other song.' But it's not without a certain hypnotic charms. If you like this sort of thing, you'd really enjoy it.
