'A Song a Day' by Jason Anderson
So last fall I was having this fantastic conversation with my friend
Dylan. Basically the long and short of it was this idea of challenge.
Pushing ourselves, continuing to hunger for inspiration, and never
remaining too comfortable.
Well, I slept on that, and the following afternoon started 'A Song a Day',
an idea by no means exclusive to myself; a concept I know has been carried
out with greater results and exceedingly substantial duration than my
small personal efforts.
Still, it was exciting, most days yielding more than a single entry. The
rule was that each creation had to be utterly of the moment. It couldn't
be merely an "unreleased track" or even a latent idea that had been
ruminating, awaiting completion. No. These had to be debut, if you will,
expressions.
At any rate, I don't want to make this more than it was, or is. I did it
for a few months, came up with ninety tracks, and called it quits, excited
to find the next challenge.
But what of all these songs? Simple. With the help of Dave and ECA, I'm
now excited to release them all--for free--on the awesome internet.
Thanks for listening. And thanks to Dylan for pushing me, in the best of
ways.
Sincerely,
Jason
You can download the first set of songs here. Hurry and get them now while they're still up! The next set of songs will be available next week.
Also, you can pick up Life Demon Mountain by David Conway for $5.17 or as a FREE download.

ECA Records is going 100% free and 100% green!
Millions of CDs and DVDs make the sad journey to the landfill every year
and those puppies don't go down easy when it comes to becoming one with
the earth. That, combined with the fact that people don't buy CDs anymore,
have created the perfect storm which is now resulting in you getting free
jamz.
2008 is going to be straight up sick!
We are going to start the year off with the free album download of the
never released Christians & Lions debut acoustic full-length. This album
was recorded when the band was just Benjamin and Samuel. A lot of these
songs ended up as full-band-versions on More Songs For Dreamsleepers &
the Very Awake. You'll be able to click on a little zip folder and get all
the mp3s and album art. Next to that you'll see a tiny little paypal
button where you can feel free to make a donation. The donation will be
split 50/50 with the band and the label. If you don't have any money, no
worries, just listen to the album and spread the word. This free album
will be released on JAN 22, 2008.
The fabulous Jason Anderson has also agreed to give us an EPs worth of
exclusive material for an EP which we hope to release in early 2008 as
well.
After that we'll be putting all of our efforts into GIGGLE MAPS. GIGGLE
MAPS is a travel guide and website for all you young/poor/adventurous
souls out there. More details to come. This thing is going to be the
bestest thing ever. I couldn't be more excited. 4-real.
That's about it for now. If you haven't picked up the Jason Anderson
Tonight album please snag that at Interpunk.com. Same goes for all the
Christians & Lions releases. See ya soon.
