One of my favourite sites stonerrock.com has heaps of free mp3's to download of heaps of wicked 'Stoner rock' (ugh i hate that term) bands. What they do tho is they take one song off each of the bands albums and have them for free download. If ya like what you hear then you can buy the album, usually in cd or lp form (which usually all have wicked artwork!) from there independent online store. Being an online store, with independent labels etc. you basically are supporting the people who support brilliant, independent artists. Basically you get to try before you buy! instead of relying on clever marketing. The music has to sell itself which is a good thing in an industry thats so f#ckin fake!

The fact is that you have a choice in the way you obtain the music. For $5 you can download Ghosts 1-4 in high quality and entirely DRM free, which means you can move the files between as many computers and music devices, etc as you like without restriction. If music is going to be distributed online at a price then the ability to do with the music you have purchased is important. The fact that Ghosts 1 is available totally free is just an added bonus.
