thanks to patented beaming technology,
you can download the entire album (10 songs) free(!) here.
As of currently: I'm recording a new longplay album for the summer of 2009 that will be called "Sannyasa Songs".
The whole record will most likely be up for free digital download, with some form of purchasable packaged artwork media type thing also available, related in some capacity to the new Less Than Three Records (so new it hardly even really exists yet).
You can download the first song, "Sannyasi", here.
There are also lots more songs up on my new facebook page. Let's be friends there, too. (I think it's better, sorry myspace.)
