...the free label.

there is too much money in the world today.   ...it hurts everything. jimmy was telling me that he saw a guy outside the sony studios with demos and a sign that said "just give me a chance". it makes me sad. there is a better way to be. "the free label" hopes to find solace in a community of creative people. "the free label" would rather give something away that might otherwise go unheard. "the free label" has a cd burner and a sharpie. All you have to do is send a letter to: Ian & Jimmy p.o. box 7321 Athens, GA 30604 tfl discs are also given out with any bumbleBEAR records order, because, you know, we're sending stuff there anyway. Enjoy! -Ian & Jimmy, champions of the free label
