I usually hate Badly Drawn Boy, but I'm really liking the song on KCRW's tune of the day today.

Badly Drawn Boy, "The Long Way Round"

(I had no idea one could download the tunes too. now I am sad that I missed out on Mint "Your grocery lists are poetry" and the Secret Machines "Lighting Blue Eyes")

My radiostation is sick. I am hoping it is just sick, and not terminal, as in replaced by a new format. Perhaps if I still knew anyone who lived in the Atlanta area, they could tell me, but alas, he's living on a couch in Providence, so that doesn't help me much.

I need to rank semipros for submitting to, and it's confusing me--I've never dealt with semipros before, other than LCRW and the occasional thing to Ideomancer. I may avoid it for now by sending Firing to Fantasy. It was beautifully laid out, after all.

Hm. Have you tried hitting up Amazon.com's Free mp3 download section? I know I got a bunch of Badly Drawn Boy from there a while ago, and I'm guessing if the radio station is offering the mp3s for free download, then the bands might have released free mp3s of those songs through other major outlets - like Amazon.

Just a thought.

Alas (or yay!) the bands tend to be small and obscure, and not the sort that are going to be pimping themselves on Amazon. I'll just have to remember for the future.

And honestly, other than the About A Boy videos, this is the only Badly Drawn Boy song I've liked.

I find that most of the bands that do have free mp3s are semi-obscure - certainly not any of the big ones. But quite possibly, not obscure enough because I did just check on Mind and the other BDB song, and there was nothing.

Anyway, best of luck!
