Remember Harvey Danger? Flagpole Sitta! They just posted their album for free on their website. In the band’s own words:

In preparing to self-release our new album, we thought long and hard about how best to use the internet. Given our unusual history, and a long-held sense that the practice now being demonized by the music biz as “illegal” file sharing can be a friend to the independent musician, we have decided to embrace the indisputable fact of music in the 21st century, put our money where our mouth is, and make our record, Little By Little…, available for download via Bittorrent, and at our website. We’re not streaming, or offering 30-second song samples, or annoying you with digital rights management software; we’re putting up the whole record, for free, forever. Full stop. Please help yourself; if you like it, please share with friends.

I have yet to actually listen to it, but I’ll post my thoughts when I do.

UPDATE (an hour later): Ok, it’s not very good.  10 year or so layoff from hearing from them will age your sound.  Definitely no Carlotta (sp?) material.  I love that song.  It’s off Flagpole SItta
