Les Savy Fav – Go Forth
I have been reading some MP3Blogs lately and I love the idea (see the sidebar for links). And when I was driving around listening to Les Savy Fav’s Go Forth, I just wanted to share it with the world. So with my first installment, I give you some of Les Savy Fav, Go Forth:
- Tragic Monsters
- Crawling Can Be Beautiful
- Adopduction
REMEMBER: MP3′s suck, go buy this on VINYL!
It’s hard for me to explain why I like this album so much. I can only use words like teethy and wet sand. I highly recommend headphones at all times.
Lyric Excerpt: “Who here finds this world distracting, Who here finds this world a bore… I for one am dazzled!”
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that it is frowned upon to make available someone’s whole album. I have trimmed it down some songs, but they are so good, I could only do so much. Please dont sue me.

Hi Josephi,
I saw you posted an inquiry on the elbo.ws board about full album downloads, so I thought I would check out your site. I’m sure most mp3 bloggers would agree it is NOT cool, in fact I would suggest not putting multiple tracks from one record in a single post either…even if you encourage your readers to go buy the album.
I know your desire to put up the songs is related to your wanting to share music, so I can relate to that.
For the record, I work doing online promotion for lots of indie artists and labels, so I run across this from time to time. I’m not working with Les Savy Fav (though we worked a record of theirs in the past), but you might want to check their label site to see what promo mp3s are available.
Of course, you can also just do what you want, but since you asked, just my 2ยข ;-)

Re: Wendy –
I totally appreciate your two cents as an mp3blog fan and as an online promotion consultant.
I did cut it down to just three and two of those three are available on French Kiss. I left in the third one, because that is where the lyric excerpt is from. And because I just had such a hard time taking it down – such a good song.
Anyway, that will be my new rule, if I am compelled to post some mp3′s I will try to only post ones that are already available from an authorized source.
Thanks again for writing and maybe we can work together sometime in the future with my band…
