It’s 2:30 and I’ve found a whopping two freebies, both of which I actually found late last night. In other words, it’s a slow freebie day. So when I found this free Orange Mountain Philip Glass album
At least now I’ll have something to help get the song I mentioned on Facebook out of my head while I futilely hunt for freebies.
Free music from Amazon is starting to become a routine event and I couldn’t be happier. The three albums below have 28 free songs in all and there’s a little something for everybody.
The funny thing is that I download all this free music and then promptly forget about it. Months later, iTunes will shuffle past one of the songs and it’s like a brand new discovery. “Hey, I’ve never heard this before! Cool, new music!”
What can I say, I get excited over small things. If I find a quarter on the ground, it’s easily the highlight of my week.
Here’s yet another free bit of music from Amazon, this time being The Best Of The Most Relaxing Classical Music In The Universe
The album has 15 songs and includes some popular ones, such as Claire De Lune, Fur Elise, and Canon In D. Plus, Amazon still has over 1,400 free songs

EDIT: The code is LONGHORN
When I found this free Luke Bryan download for his new album ‘Doin’ My Thing’, I wondered at first who Luke Bryan was. Then, after deciding that I didn’t really care because it was free music, I figured I should probably thank Longhorn Steakhouse too for sponsoring the free download. Needless to say, I got hungry on my way over and stopped in at Chili’s. Oops?
If it wasn’t bad enough that I just admitted to listening to Miley Cyrus after my improbable leave of absence, well, now I really want to download some of these free songs for kids from this Music for Little People site.
Why would I listen to something so eclectic?
Well, when I close at work, I actually turn on my music in the store to give it something a little… different. This is especially important once the Christmas music starts in another month…
Wow, where has September gone? I mean, seriously! When I looked up, it was the beginning of the month, and now? The month is almost over, I’ve been to St. Louis and back for work, and my alma mater (go UCF Knights!) is 2-1 and keeping it real.
Maybe there’s some sort of higher power to this all and I should listen to something like this free Creation Festival sampler on my iPod Touch. Or maybe? I should just bypass it and switch over to the new Miley Cyrus. What? “Party in the U.S.A.” is addictive!
I have to say, I’m enjoying all the free music that Amazon is giving away. I’m not even a big country music fan, but I went ahead and downloaded this free Discover Texas Music: volume 1 album
I like freebies that only ask for two pieces of information, like this free Trace Adkins mp3. Just give them your email and zip code and they’ll send you a link to download a free song. Pretty soon freebies might only ask for your email. Then in the future, they might not even ask for that! They’ll take freebie requests via telepathy. Man, that’d be awesome.
Wait a minute…then that’d make my job here pretty useless. Doh!
To celebrate getting a million followers on Twitter (wow, HIF doesn’t even have nearly that many 
), Amazon is giving away a $1.29 credit that can be used to download a free mp3 song. The credit will be applied to your account and most songs are only $0.99, so you can actually get a song and a third for free!
Amazon is also running an offer this month of 50 different albums for only $5. They have albums from bands like the Rolling Stones, Steely Dan, John Coltrane, The Roots, Willie Nelson, Gloriana, Marie Digby, Crystal Method, Fabolous and Shinedown. So…pretty much something for everybody. It might be worth checking out if you’re a music buff. Check out the banner below for more info.
And finally, as we’ve written about before, Amazon offers a hoard of free music
I’ll listen to and play almost anything musically. Seriously. If my statement there wasn’t evidence enough, I just filled in on bass guitar for a vocal group that was playing Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and a ton of classic fun dancing songs like “The Twist” and “Locomotion.” Yup. The grunge/indie songwriter me sat in on bass guitar.
But what I’m finding even cooler than that is this free Celtic music sampler. I’ll listen to anything. Really. Especially because all I have stuck in my head now is Jonas Brother’s “Play My Music”…
I went to the Warped Tour once. It was back in Orlando in 2002. I skipped out on watching Good Charlotte to see Orlando local band Unsung Zeros play on a small side stage. Much better show than the big stage.
Needless to say, none of these bands on this free 2009 Vans Warped Tour sampler really ring a bell with me. Other than NOFX and Bad Religion. I guess that means I’m really getting old…
I hope our computers don’t turn blue and we don’t all go crazy while doves cry all over this free Purple Rain cover album. Though, if you’re caught in the purple rain and looking for the right word, the answer is “keyboardist”
And the Princely one himself hopefully would appreciate this tribute cover album. Heck, I’ll even admit that I enjoy the movie and the album…
EDIT: This offer is now expired.
I thought I was fairly up to date and remembered most musicians for at least one song. Heck, I’ll even admit that I have the Jonas Brother’s CD with “Burning Up” on it. But whenever I think of Ashley Tisdale, I’m drawing a complete blank and only remembering Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats.”
Maybe this free Ashley Tisdale party pack will help me remember. Or maybe I’ll just finally find my perfect shade of lip gloss in it with just enough stickers to cover my private brands guide binders at work while I bop around to the CD that’s included too… 
Late night drinking should always be done to a theme song. Seriously. I used to use Seven Mary Three’s “Strangely At Home Here,” but most recently, its been whatever show I have on Adult Swim on…
But maybe with this free iTunes download of this Lollapalooza sampler, well, maybe I can come up with a new theme song.
Or maybe when my hair grows back in fully, I’ll go back to the “Welcome Back Kotter” theme song…
I’ve always said that I have had a good appreciation for music. I can thank my parents for that. When my Mom would drive me and my friends in to school, it was an adult contemporary mix station from the 70’s through the 90’s that we listened to, and we always loved it when Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard it Through The Grapevine” came on. And when we were on road trips as a family? It was usually my Dad’s country music, so I heard a lot of Garth and learned every word to Alabama’s “Song of the South” by the time I was in eigth grade.
So when I found these free Mishka Radio Friendly Unit mixes (volume 1 and volume 2), they reminded me so much of the music I’d listened to when I was at home, practicing guitar: Soundgarden, L7, Cake, Weezer, The Pixies, Sublime, etc.
And to get two mixes downloaded for free like that? Can’t complain at all… Now just to sync up my mp3 player…
Hey there, I'm Goob and this is Hey, It's Free, otherwise known as HIF. I spend my days looking for 100% legit, non-spammy freebies. Have a look around and you'll realize we're the #1 site for freebies!
