Juliana Hatfield Free

Stereogum fave Juliana Hatfield is giving her "honor system" download experiment another shot.

Hi. I am putting up some more new/old recordings, for your listening pleasure. First, I just want to say thank you again to all who have contributed and continue to contribute to this ongoing downloading project. You are helping to finance my future musical projects.

About the honor system:

"When a song is downloaded, you will have an option. You can decide that ownership of this song is your right and freely distribute the files to your friends and to the people who also think it's their right, without payment. Or, you can support the artist who wrote and recorded this song and click the PayPal button at the top of the page and send Juliana a contribution. The iTunes standard of $.99 per song may seem too high for you, in which case you can send $.50 - though there is virtually nothing else you can buy legally for $.50. Alternatively, you can think of the number of people with whom you might share these files and give a multiple of $.99 for each song you download."

I just wanna give her $500 for Only Everything. But $.99/song will do.

Incidentally, this crazy spam was sent to Temporary Residence today...

Who would write such a thing? I'd say Kevin Dean, but it appears English isn't this spammer's first language.

Jewliana, who's out to get you? Or are you working with Mel Gibson now?

I think that it is a great idea. I realize that a whole lot of people will download the songs without donating anything due to not feeling that they should or not being able to afford it, others will make what they feel is a fair donation and others still will donate more than the average. I figure it balances out and gives everyone a chance to expose people to an artists work.

If you give anything less than $.99 you might as well not bother, what with paypal fees-minimum $.30 + a %.

Instead, go to http://poobrand.com/ and spend your money on my cool, but not stupidly ironic, t-shirts.

Also, I have three Julian Hatfield cd's that I haven't listened to in many years. For a fair paypal donation they can be yours.

Her music is worth nothing, so I won't even bother downloading it for free.

Without an industry musicians are just bums.

It's $.50 *per song idiot*. Who would download only one song?...unless you didn't like it, so why bother donating? And it's JulianA Hatfield. Can't you read? Or spell? Bah Humbug.

And here I thought independence and DIY were still (at least superficially) cherished notions. What a bunch of irritating cynics.

the honor system rocks. i end up paying more for the new b-sides and less for the demos of songs that are already on an album, but all in all it works out to where i'm paying at least a 1 for every song, if not more. these songs are awesome and so is Juliana!

"though there is virtually nothing else you can buy legally for $.50"

Um..not true. You can buy little trinkets out of the quarter machines, stickers, gum, temp. tattoo's a 2 liter of pop...the list goes on. And even the crap you get out of the machines is worth more than the crap most "musicians" are putting out these days. Hell, there music isn't even worth downloading legally or illegally.

I just came upon this page and was stunned yet not not surprised there are people that actually blow their time talking shit for no apparent reason. If you don't like it then go to a site that has something you like. I think that guys shirts suck but I'm not going to his site to write about how much they suck.
