In case you haven’t noticed, SOPA and PIPA are dangerously close to becoming a reality. Here’s Bryan Childs of Ninebullets’ explanation as to why stopping SOPA is important. If you haven’t had a chance to sign a petition or five yet, now’s the time.
And now, on to some free music. Which you probably wouldn’t be able to obtain if SOPA/PIPA are enacted.
The first thing that’ll grab you when
you listen to Empty Orchestra is Stephen Wisniewski‘s killer opening
lyrics. I had a hard time picking the songs to feature in this entry
– all of them are great, and you can download it here – but I
hope these songs are testament to Wisniewski ‘s skill.
According to their website, Empty
Orchestra is a musical collective from Flint, Michigan. Though many
of the background players change throughout this album, the brilliant
musicianship is constant throughout the album. Wisniewski‘s vocals –
alternately desolate and hopeful – anchor the songs so that each
one sounds as if it’s produced by one, cohesive unit.

In terms of subject matter, many of the
songs focus on displacement and isolation – except for the defiant
“You Should See The Other Guy.” Not exactly cheerful, but if you
can’t identify with that emotion that it’s either been a long time
since you were young, or you haven’t pushed yourself far enough yet.
So give these songs a listen – stream, download (it’s FREE,
remember?), whatever – and give these folks a home in your heart,
and maybe they can find a place to rest on the road.
