Great Surf Album as Free Download

I am listening just this moment to a really good surf album by The Reluctant Aquanauts. The band decided to make it available as a free mp3 download. Here’s what Bill of The Reluctant Aquanauts wrote on Surf Guitar 101 with the link to the download.

Here are the masters to what would have been the Reluctant Aquanauts second album “Aquanauts Can’t Swim”. All the songs are original except for Fistful of Dullards and Altered State Trooper which were given to us by Denis from the Treblemakers.

I Just Joined Fair Play for Creators

quote form the campaign site:

Fair Play for Creators is an online forum set up by PRS for Music so that creators everywhere can publicly demonstrate their concern over the way their work is treated by online businesses.

Fair Play for Creators was established after Internet-giant, Google, made the decision to remove some music content from YouTube.

Google’s decision was made because it didn’t want to pay the going rate for music, to the creators of that music, when it’s used on YouTube.

Music creators rely on receiving royalties whenever and wherever their work is used. Royalties are vital in nurturing creative music talent. They make sure music creators are rewarded for their creativity in the same way any other person would be in their work.

Fair Play for Creators believes that fans should have access to the music they love, and that the work of music creators should be paid for by the online businesses who benefit from its use.

If you’re not happy for us to use your comments on this site, please uncheck the first box underneath the comments box.

Let’s help the creators keep on creating.
