Unexpected Sources of Free Music – Part 1
I know this isn’t totally free, but when a friend emailed me about this, I knew I had to feature it…
ChristianBook.com is got Absolute Smash Hits Volumes 1 & 2, a four disc CD se
t (think a WOW Hits clone), on sale for $5.99. That’s 50 songs for 6 bucks. 50 songs! That’s 8.3472454090150250417362270450751* cents per song. That’s approximately 91 cents cheaper per song then iTunes. Not bad at all, for a collection of some of Christian music’s greatest hits. In fact, it’s a steal. Not as good as free, but almost.
Of course there has to be a downside. In this case it’s the selection. It’s almost all somewhat under-the-radar artists CCM artists. The loudest it get’s in 12 Stones and Skillet. But, that maybe perfect for you, in which case that would be a plus and not a minus. So, anyway, it’s worth checking out.

Various Updates
A couple of free music updates:
iTicket’s has new music for this week. This time, it’s “Providence” by new band Abandon, “Black Coal (Acoustic)” by Sanctus Real, and “Alive” by Superchick. Yes, “Alive”, again. Oh well, the Abandon song is new and the Sanctus Real is an exclusive, rare, new song.
Speaking of iTickets, they recently unveiled a Facebook application that lists the free downloads for the week. I’ve added to my personal profile, but it would be nice to add it to the TFCMB Facebook Group page. Does anyone know if that’s possible?
Also recently update, Soul-Audio has a lot of new music. They’ve got new songs from Mike Farris, Sixpence None the Richer, Jenn Weber, CO3, Jon Foreman, Beloved, and After Edmond. Soul-Audio is becoming a real center of free music goodness. Definitely worth checking out.

Falling Up is releasing a new best-of CD in a couple of days entitled Discover The Trees. If you pre-order it now, you can get a free Falling Up air freshner. Yes. An air freshner. Umm, interesting. I really like Falling Up, but an air freshener? Check it out:

Brandon Heath has new music coming out soon, and as a bonus, he’s giving out a random, free mp3 to anyone on his mailing list. You need to confirm for the list, but after that, you can visit the bonus page, answer a “What If We” question, and download the free music. There’s supposed to be some new stuff in the mix, and probably some old and rare stuff too.
And if that’s not enough, a new website NoiseTrade.com has full CD’s from Alli Rogers, Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, Sixpence None the Richer, Joy Whitlock, and more. Pay what you want, or tell three friends and get the CDs free. I’m going to write a full post as soon as I can check the system out, but I thought you’d want to hear about it as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone who sent this in! Sorry I’ve been so long in featuring it.
Wow, that’s was a lot to write… 
iTickets Updated – Jon Foreman, Superchick, and Seabird
Yet again, iTicket’s has come through with the free music this week. The goods this time: Free mp3s by Superchick, Jon Foreman, and Seabird. Both Superchick and Seabird should be familiar, since both songs have been available elsewhere. You do need to be an iTicket member to download the songs.
Superchick + Thousand Foot Krutch Wedding, New Contest
Instead of featuring free music today, I decided to take a break and write about all the cool contest Superchick has going on, and wedding bells.
Big news! According to GMC, TFK and Superchick are going to be hearing wedding bells sometime soon. Thousand Foot Krutch guitarist Nick Baumhardt proposed to Tricia Brock, lead vocalist for Superchick. Hopefully more details will be released soon.
Speaking of Superchick, the band has announced three sweet contests. The first is sponsored by Family Christian Stores, grand prize being dinner with the band. Definitely worth checking out on the Family Christian Store website.
The second contest is on MySpace. You jazz up your profile with lots of cool Superchick stuff, and possibly win 1 of a 100 signed exclusive posters. You can check that out on the contest site, here.
Last but definitely not least, the band also wants you to show your directing prowess by making an original music video for the song “Alive”. You can get the full detail from Superchick’s MySpace blog. Sounds like a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact, that I plan on entering.
New Superchick Song!
Superchick’s new album Rock What You Got is coming June 24, and to celebrate Superchick is giving away the first song “Alive”, on a special mini-site titled “Superchick Loves You”. Fitting huh? I’ve updated the Superchick Spotlight to include the new song.
In many ways this song is a lot like the free song Kutless released not long ago. Both songs are pretty short, and both are different from anything the band’s ever done. This song in particular has a lot more electronic sounds, and sounds like Superchick has updated their own sound some. It’s still a good song, just different. But I’ll let you decide for yourself…
Superchick Download Spotlight!
It’s a Superchic[k] Spotlight!
I have five different songs from Superchic[k], all of which are free, all of which are legal, all of which rock.
They are “One Girl Revolution (Remix)”, a anthematic girl song. Then there’s “Hero”, my favorite. It’s about the issues in school that lead up to the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings. It’s a really powerful song.
Next is “Me Against the World”, from Regeneration, and, if I remember correctly, the Legally Blonde soundtrack. It’s a catchy, fun song about Christians (girls especially) going against the world. Second to last is “Suddenly”, which is my second favorite song after Hero.
You can also download “We Live” as part of the iPop 2008 sampler. It’s a cool song about living life to the fullest. Last but definitely not least is “Wishes”, which is available on the band’s Purevolume profile.
iPop 2006 Digital Sampler
I know this is from last year, but bear with me:
Inpop Records (home of Superchick, Tree63, Newsboy…) is offering 12 songs absolutely free at www.inpop.com/ipop2006.
They are:
1. Who Can Compare – Foolish Things
2. Something to Believe In – Newsboys (Originally recorded for the Music Inspired By the Cronicles of Narnia-The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, it was cut then released on this sampler. Afterwards it was included on Go: Special Edition.)
3. Suddenly – Superchick
4. Fence Riders – Jimmy Needham
5. Chicago – Mat Kearney
6. Saved by Grace – Shane & Shane
7. Sweet River – Paul Colman
8. Amazing Grace (Live) – Tree63
9. Hey You – Foolish Things
10. Be Still – Foolish Things
11. I Am New – Jimmy Needham
12. Dearly Loved – Jimmy Needham
As you can see, new artists Foolish Things and Jimmy Needham each have three songs featured, probably to gain some popularity.
Enjoy!
