Back in 2001 Hollywood actress Winona Ryder proved that she was ahead of her time in the world of "Free". She was accused and found guilty of taking $ 4,700.00 of merchandise and clothing from Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hill. Not recommended to the kids out there but worthy of a spot in the FREE "Hall Of Fame".
My favorite place to download "legal" mp3's is garageband.com . The bands are as good and usually better than the music on mainstream radio in my opinion. *Warning-they are not all gems. Today I am linking to 3 artists who have songs titled "Free" that I liked. Check em out if you have some time...click on the link and type in the word "free" above the search box and you will find the following (and a lot more !!! )
1- "FREE" by Ave.nue (New York City) 2- "FREE" by Julie Kim (Toronto) 3- "FREE" by The Real Outsiders (Atlantic City)
So if you go to Radioheads excellent website at http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace/ you can download a new song the band is giving away called "These are the twisted words". The five and a half minute song is not typically what I enjoy listening to but is an interesting piece musically. Predominantly instrumental with very few lyrics. What I thought was cooler with the download was a PDF of "artwork" that accompanies the audio file. (see image above). The file contains about 12 pages of black and white images of leaveless trees that look similar to a series I shot a while ago.

I was in my hometown of Montreal this weekend for a photoshoot and I was walking along Crescent Street when I noticed the "Pay what you want" sign at the Taverne Crescent. It's cool to see the concept spread to different types of businesses. Another reason Quebecers are referred to as a "distinct society". Bonne appetite and don't forget the tip ?
