Free Mix Tape from Urban Outfitters

Posted on 02.04.2009 by Adam in Music

It seems that the freebies are coming to skin and bones, folks… We’re still finding them, but you know they’re getting bad if I’m resorting to posting something like this free mix tape from Urban Outfitters. I mean, just look at some of the band names: Vetiver, Mt. Saint Helens Vietnam Band, Deastro, Mayer Hawthorne, and Rainbow Arabia. If you’ve heard of them? Well then, please let me know, because I listen to a lot of weird stuff, but I don’t feel like telling my friends “Oh yeah, I’m jamming out to that new track by Polly Scattergood.” I draw the line at Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Or maybe I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness.

Deastro was just featured on Pitchfork. There is an EP or something of his on e-music last year that was always at the top of the download charts. It’s pretty good.

I downloaded the music, but it’s a zipped folder so I can’t open it. Is there another way to do it or something I’m missing?

@ Nicole
To open a file that ends in .zip, you first have to download a program called WinZip and then use it to extract the mp3 files from the folder. It’s easy.

HEY!
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is a great band

So is Vetiver. And I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness.

Oddly enough, that I didn’t know, Vetiver is also some weird herb or something. They put in in perfume. It smells good. I discovered this yesterday…
