“‘I want to be someone who people recognize and want to come to see, but stayed true to their art and message through their whole career. I want to be able to tour the world and play sold out shows. I’d love to have some mainstream exposure to subversively bring my ideas into the popular eye, as long as I don’t have to compromise what I’m doing for the sake of popularity. I want to work with more artists that I admire and be known for having one of the most fun live touring shows that has ever hit the road. I’d like to die having put out one of the most original greatest hits albums in the history of the popular music. That would be awesome.’ MC Lars”

I rarely ever write about music, and I am hardly a fan boy of anyone. But, every once in a while something really sparks my fancy like no ones business, and that’s what happened when a co-worker sent me a copy of Download This Song by MC Lars. The song is practicly a manifesto for the internet-music model and the anti RIAA/MPAA (may they rot in hell) sentiment.

Go on, clear that American Idol static from your heads and listen to something funny, cool, and oh, so true!
