While googling to find our readers the mp3 links for the Sirius XMU Top 41 of 2099 playlist, it struck me that all these songs have one thing in common.
Almost all of these tracks are available via free + legal mp3 sites such as rcrdlbl, Pitchfork, The Fader, Prefix Mag, I Guess I’m Floating, etc.
Record labels and upstart bands take note! If you want your new music to make a mark, make an mp3 easy to find and download.
