little by little

Harvey Danger, who had a hit song in the mid-90s with Flagpole Sitta, have a new album out, called Little by Little. It's their first studio album in five years, and boy is it worth the wait! I've been listening to it all morning, and I really like it. If you've read WWdN for any amount of time, and you like the same kind of music that I do, you should pick it up.

. . . which you can do right now, for free, because Harvey Danger has released the entire album using Bittorrent:

We're not streaming, or offering 30-second song samples, or annoying you with digital rights management software; we're putting up the whole record, for free, forever. Full stop. Please help yourself; if you like it, please share with friends.

Well, I like it, so I'm doing my little part to share it. If you like it, you can order the album from their website.

I think this is a great idea. Thanks, Harvey Danger!

Thanks for sharing this Wil. I've been in love with "Wine, Women and Song" since they were here for SXSW - can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

How old were you in the picture? I'd like to know if you have met any deaf people? I'm deaf and I watched your movies as a kid. I even wrote you a fan letter, heh. I'm just curious if you have any experience meeting deaf people.

I felt like such an azz back in the day when I was the only one that LOVED Harvey Danger (wully muffler was my favorite song for some lame 'loser am I' reason).
Bittorrent me up f**ker.
Definitely going to get this album through rhapsody when it comes out to support them.

Just downloaded the album. Excellent work! I totally love it. Wrote a bit of a review on my blog, but don't read it, I'm not much of a writer.

That Harvey Danger album is definitely a little bit of alright.

Sorry to post off topic, out of place. The Stories of Strength book is out at lulu.com and Wil has a story in there called "Just Keep Going." All proceeds go to charity.

This album is great. "Little Round Mirrors" should be a big hit. I hope their model works, because I would always buy the music but I hate DRM crap that makes it hard for me to move songs from one device to another.
