I totally stole this first part because the place I stole it from said it better than I ever could:

this guy:












evolved into this guy:













and made this pretty awesome cd:


















Which you can acquire here and here. Seriously, give it a shot. It's actually a pleasant little EP. No, he did not die of a heroin overdose back in 1999, which was the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard. Apparently he's still having trouble getting people to believe he's still alive. Quite a fun little story: apparently he was at a party one day, and he heard the Flaming Lips album The Soft Bulletin whic touched him so deply that he quit his day job (see picture #1), and started working with the Flaming Lips on his new music.

But for those of us who like to rock (hard) to the Darkness, we've got One Way Ticket to Hell... And Back, plus a lot of bootlegs here.

And that's all the free music you get for today.
