Independent Music Compilation Inspired By Spam

from the at-least-it's-good-for-something dept

Not quite sure what to make of this, but Ryan King writes "Outside the Inbox is a compilation of songs inspired by and titled after the subject lines of spam. Artists were asked to choose a subject line from an actual piece of spam and then write a song with it as its title. The result is a fun 14-song concept album filled with some of the great music being made by home recordists on the Internet today." All the songs are available as MP3s, or you can send the guy who put it all together $5 and he'll send you a copy on CD. I've only listened to a few songs, but it sounds like there are some good songs there. Now, who is going to come out with the compilation about how the music industry sucks?

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

    Wasn't that Prince's last album?

    This is the best album I've heard in a while...

    I love creativity in music, and this one tops my list lately of creativity. I'm sending $5 for a CD, my favorite, even though it is rap, has got to be MC Frontalot's Urgent Business Relationship... I was laughing so hard my co-workers had to listen to it to figure out why I was laughing.

    Don't type www.bradsucks.com though, it is not the same as bradsucks.net (and might get you in trouble!!!)

    Ditto on the favorite song. I've actually been listening to the MC Frontalot song on and off all day.
