Derek Webb is not only one of my favorite songwriters, he is also a brilliant, brilliant man. Around a year ago, he announced Noisetrade:
"The site will provide a market for an ostensibly mutually agreeable
"trade:" the consumer will get music for free, in exchange for making
"noise" about the artist by sending emails to friends to let them know
about the music. The consumers may also use the site to find new and
different kinds of music at no cost, utilizing user recommendations and
forums to learn of new artists. The artists will also be able to use
the ZIP code information collected to help book shows in areas with
larger numbers of fans and potential fans. (Wikipedia)"
For those of you who, like me, love to explore new music, this is great. You can find it here. Derek Webb's "The Ringing Bell" and his wife, Sandra McCracken's "Gravity Love" are already available, as well as many others that I will be checking out soon.
