Shameless promotion.

One of the entertaining things about running this blog is that marketers seem to think it has an audience. Far be it from me to disabuse anyone of such notions, of course, but I thought they’d at least notice the cheap free ads in the sidebar and the bimonthly (if that) updates. It makes me want to wave my hand and say this is not the sales opportunity you are looking for.

A few days ago, “Jessi,” who has “been a fan of [my] blog for a while” (really? I don’t think I’ve seen you around), asked if I would check out a new band on her record label and tell her what I thought. She didn’t directly request that I put up a link — that’s not the kind of relationship that Jessi and I have — but she did suggest that I should “feel free” to do so. (Which is good, because I’d hate to be compelled to promote whatever random crap people email me.) “P.S.,” Jessi concluded, “You are hilarious. :-)” See, I was on the fence, but it’s hard to turn down a pitch from someone who appreciates your sense of humor.

Anyway, enough ragging on the friendly PR people. The group is called Feral Children, and you can download their EP for free here. As for the music itself…well, it’s not really my cup of tea, to be honest. But free is free, right? It’s only four songs; check it out.
