How To Get Free MP3s Part 4: "The Party for Change Mix" - DJ Z-Trip

DJ Z-Trip has been one of my favorite DJs since I first heard Uneasy Listening Vol. 1, a CD that I bought from Food One (artist Jim Mahfood) way back in the beginning part of this millennium. I've followed his career track, whether it was on the Scratch doc, his remix of a Jackson Five's "I Want You Back" for the Motown Remixed disc or his latest release, a soundtrack for the 2K Sports' All-Pro Football 2K8 Video Game.

Z-Trip has been backing Barrack Obama during this presidential campaign and has performed a couple times using a mix aptly titled "The Party for Change Mix". And I just received word this morning that Z-Trip is offering that jam free for the public. Here's Z-Trip's comments about the mix and the free offering:

This one is pretty massive and I'm stoked with how it came out.

I hope you all dig it and pass the link along to everyone you think should hear it. It's an important message to get out and we're running out of time.

Speaking of which, the deadline to register is coming up for most states (some have already passed), so if you aren't registered yet, I really think you should take the opportunity to do so. Regardless of whom you vote for, make your voice heard!

This year is becoming apparent that every vote will count for either side. But no matter who you think should win, free music is a movement that I think that we all can get behind. Click on the image below to get your free tunes.

Free Mp3 from The Mighty Underdogs

Saw this news on the old MySpace and decided that it was worth the bandwidth for the DL. With guests like Chali 2na and Aion plus regulars Lateef the Truthspeaker and the Gift of Gab, I knew that War Walk would be a good joint. If you are a fan of true old-school rap/hip-hop, you should really get this one. Just click here or the image below to get up on it.

How To Get Free MP3s Part 3: "The Slip" CD - Nine Inch Nails

Here's the last in the mini-series on how to get free music. And what a way to close it out - by getting the one of the most influential bands in the last decade and a half, Nine Inch Nails. In a method that takes what Radiohead did for In Rainbows and takes away the idea of any money changing hands, NIN is offering the CD, The Slip, for free in multiple formats (all DRM-Free) and only asks for your email address in exchange.

Here's how to get the free swag:

1. Got to The Slip website;


2. Enter your email address twice and wait for the confirmation email;


3. Open the email and click the link (make note of the passcode that is included in the email);


4. Follow the directions and you will be presented with the following:

One word of warning - if you choose any format other than the mp3 zip file, you will need a BitTorrent client (Peer-to-Peer software) installed on your PC/Mac. If anyone needs assistance with this, leave a comment and I'll square you away.

How To Get Free MP3s Part 2: "Hammerhead" - The Offspring

While The Offspring has been tearing up the Hard Rock chart, they are still a viable veteran band and to have them offer a free MP3, especially one from their new CD, is pretty freaking cool. The single, Hammerhead, is a decent song and is well worth the easy process to get the download. All you have to do is fill out your email addresss and your zip code using the widget above. Wait a few minutes and an email will be sent with a link to download the DRM-and cost-free mp3. What's not to like about that?

How To Get Free MP3s Part 1: "Falling Away" - Sprite Commercial

If you have been watching the NBA playoffs as feverishly as I have, the generous people at TNT have been bombarding you with this Sprite commercial about the local park kids jumping into the court which magically turns into a pool. The ending image is the one shown above.

The snipet of the song that is played during this commercial is very hooky and I was curious in finding the song and the person/group who played it. After a quick 2 minutes of googling, I found this post from Duncan's TV Ad Land dated November 2005 which not only detailed the name (Falling Away) and origins of the song (it was made by a sound house), but listed the lyrics to the song, a link to a Quicktime version of the commercial and a detailed list to get the free MP3 of the song.

The one problem - you have to go through about 100+ useless posts from idiots. And since this blog is not only a wealth of entertainment value but also a public service forum, here's the list to score the free swag:

1. Go to the German Sprite Website (beware - the language is in German)
2. Click on the words Sound & Download
3. Click on the words MP3 Download
4. Enter Makari in blank field then click Go
5. Click the checkbox for the version that you want (Original, Go Disco, Chill Out, Elektro Pop, or Urban Beat version) and click on the words MP3 Herunterladen

The file that is downloaded is a Zip file but it does contains the MP3 with the English lyrics. Stay tuned for tomorrow's Free MP3 from The Offspring
