More Free Music… COLDPLAY!

I’ll tell you what… I love bringing you guys free music.  I know some download music illegally, but it’s great to know that there are bands out there that are trying to help do something about it.  One of those bands is Pennywise.  We gave you the information about how to download their entire CD for free a while ago.  Now, we’re bringing you Coldplay.

Although it’s only one song, it’s still a good thing when bands give us free stuff.  The song is off of their new CD and is called ‘Violet Hill.’  It’s easy to get the song, but not as flexible.  Here are the directions for how to get the single.

Log on to the Coldplay website at www.coldplay.com.  Simple enough, right?  After you do that, click on the letter ‘I’ in ‘Viva.’  (It’s the one that says ’song’ below it.)  After you do that, it’ll take you to a webpage where you have to fill in your e-mail address.  Type in the e-mail and click submit.  They’ll automatically send you an e-mail with a link for you to download the song.  Here’s the kicker… the link expires after six hours, so make sure you are somewhere where you can download the song.  One last thing… I’m not sure if by signing up you are signing up to receive any just e-mail.  It doesn’t say anywhere on the website or e-mail (at least that I saw).

More bands seem to be releasing free music.  I’ll bring it up again… is it a trend and are we going to see more free music coming down the road?  What do you think?  Feel free to leave a comment.
