Quick! Free Ukelele Tunes!!!!!!!

Well, I think I have proven to be an even more horrible procrastinatron of a blogger than a student, which is the lesser of two evils I suppose, but I doubt I'm going to gain much Internet celebrity by only posting things when there are TWO DAYS for you to get some free songs played on a ukelele, so act now, limited-time offer!!!

My amazing best buddy Christofer Drew of NeverShoutNever, whom I do not know personally but kind of made eye contact with after one of his concerts, has just released a ukelele EP. While this is newsworthy in its own right, it's even more special because from the week of January 20-27th, you can download it for *free*

NSN's MySpace is here, and I strongly advise that you visit it and check out his ah-dorable emo hairdo, btu if you want to get right to the goods, you can download the 3-song EP here.

...And you might wanna get right on that. Since you only have about 53 hours left... Sorry bout that.

BUT, if you're reading this on January 28th and thinking bitch, there is good news! You can still download the EP on iTunes! Which is a good thing to do anyways, because Chris writes some ofof the most adorable tunes I have ever heard, and you really ought to support him.

And speaking of supporting, the reason for these free downloads? You have the option to donate money to Toms, an awesome lil shoe company that donates a pair fo shoes to a child in need for every pair you buy. I thought that was a terrific idea and considered purchasing a sparkly pair, but I wanted to check with my mom first, and she confirmed my suspicion that the design of the shoes is kind of hideous. So I decided that I love the idea and will definitely keep an eye on their future merchandise, but right now, the only pair I'd really want on my feet are the red vegan boots. [The boots are gorgeous, but no way are my parents paying 98 bucks for a pair of vegan boots.]

While we're on the subject of free music, and because I feel bad ending a blog by dissing a pair of shoes made by an incredibly conscientious company, I just discovered a free lil electropop mixtape. I came across it on Mark Maxwell's MySpace (under Band Members on teh left side of the page). It includes a song by one of my fave crazy electropop bands Hyper Crush and Mr. Maxwell himself who, in case you are unfamiliar with him, appears to be the brains behind those deliciously catchy airheads Millionaires. It's weird, but it's free. If you thought NSN's EP was too wussy, here's something that'll really make you... scratch your head and wonder what the hell kind of music I like...
