Free the Furr

Sub Pop records is giving away a CD sampler that includes the song "Furr" by Blitzen Trapper (whom I last wrote about here). Get it here from Amazon.

On the topic of Sub Pop, one of Critter's former writing students is being courted by said record label. She played at my house Saturday night, during our farewell party for Greg Paul. I guess I'll leave her name out of this, as I don't know how much of this is supposed to be public, but it just makes me so happy to see someone's hard work pay off.

All of you teachers out there, take heart. Sometimes the kids really are paying attention to you.

Free Etta

Pssst! You... yeah, you.

If you're a Writers on Writing listener, then you know that Barbara ends just about every radio broadcast with Etta James' torch song "I'd Rather Go Blind."

For a limited time Amazon is giving that song away FREE as part of the digital EP Chess Records Black History Month. Nab it while you still can...

Enjoy!
