finished and free

"vine street", the new cannon solo album, is finished and free (as in beer) and available for download in 2 formats:

download mp3 (79 mb): http://67.20.84.186/vinestreet/cannon-2010-vine%20street-MP3.zip

download flac (206 mb): http://67.20.84.186/vinestreet/cannon-2010-vine%20street-FLAC.zip

a digital "cd booklet" is included with both versions: see the pics. read the text. feel the .pdf goodness on your screen.

you should get the mp3 version if you rely on apple products (for some odd reason) to manage and listen to your music files, or if you have a slow internet connection, or if you aren’t sure what a flac file is…

your computer probably already has a built-in application to unzip these files... if not, try winzip or winrar.

a few more words while you’re waiting for your download to finish: these tracks are more or less unmastered, which to the average listener means the album will be a bit quieter than most new music. the highly-technical explanation for this is that the dynamic range hasn’t been all squished out of these songs like piss out of a frog. a simple work-around: turn the volume up.

it's 2010, and using plastic discs to distribute "art" (i.e., ones and zeros) is ridiculous. but if you want these tunes on a cd, feel free to burn one yourself (with no space between the songs.)

feedback is appreciated, either in the comments section below, or in an email to pukkarecords at gmail dot com.

thanks for listening!
