Hat-tip to the_red_shoes and waterstrider

It appears that Toronto-based pop/folk/christian/operatic/idiosyncratic singer Jane Siberry has apparantly flipped.

It appears that she's giving away just about everything she ever recorded for free.

You can choose to download entire albums or you can choose to download individual tracks instead. Once you choose what you want, go to the drop-down menu and choose one of the following: "Gift from Jane" (i.e., FREE), a standard price, or an amount of your choice that you can pay now or pay at a later date.

Be warned. You will have to register contact information with the store if you choose to "shop" or "accept a gift," so if you don't want to give personal information away in case Jane recovers her senses just be aware of this.

No. I have no idea what's promped this, but I'm not going to say no to 'Mimi on the Beach' from No Borders Here.

Apparantly Jane has basically gone do-lally. She's changed her name to Issa (fer sure, it's even on her Web site) and has sold all her earthly possessions. Ummm, yeah...

Anyway, Jane Sibery has a gorgeous voice backed by her classically trained piano playing. She easily adapts to whatever genre she sets her sights on. While I'm not a huge fan of hers (I have to be in a mood for her voice), it's definitely worth sampling a track or two if you've never heard of her or her voice before.

But just be warned, her style changes album to album (and sometimes song to song), so don't judge based on a handful of tracks.

Oddly enough, I actually felt guilty snurching the less-than-a-handful of tracks I did. I may go back and actually pay some cash for a couple of the full-album downloads because...damn she's giving away her life's work.

Yeah. I'll be over here pondering that for awhile.

Now, I'll be crawling to bed since I've been working 12-hour days all week.

Now Playing:

Soopah Sekrit to Certain People:

Here's Stairway to Heaven by Dolly Parton available for download. Definitely one of the most awesome covers you'll ever hear. I mean, c'mon. Bluegrass. Gospel choir. Enjoy!

Also, for those of you who are still searching for tunes, I still have many, many MP3 download links that are still live. As in 132 MP3 files' worth.

From the oldest to the youngest:

If I Should Fall from Grace With God by the Pogues is still live and available. Considering this file was uploaded in May and is still being donwloaded which is why it's still live, I can only conclude that you guys must love The Pogues.

Click here for my review and links to download the complete virtual mash-up album American Edit by Dean Grey, as well as a companion review and 5 MP3 downloads from Green Day's American Idiot.

My 10-song EP Upon Hearing About the Death of Sunnydale is also still live and available for download. If you want to skip the fannish notes for the soundtrack, you can just go directly to the project page for the tunes.

Also, all files for my Multi-Fandom Character Mini-Soundtrack Project are still live. That one includes 114 MP3s for 38 characters across 16 different fandoms. Try a few new tunes on for size since they're free and fun.

Finally, there's Waiting for the World to Change by John Myer. This one is well worth the download for its 'People Get Ready' vibe and catchy lyrics.

Please comment if you grab anything. Thanks.


Now Playing:

Total Statistics for the Multi-Fandom Character Mini-Soundtracks Project
Total Soundtracks Completed: 38
Total Songs Uploaded: 114

Note: All files will be available for download until at least August 31, although many files will most likely be available for longer than that, depending on downloading patterns.

Once the links expire to the files, I will not refresh the files. I will post periodic reminders that these soundtracks are here until the files begin to expire.

All are welcome to take the files since they are all now publically available for download.

Feel free to spread the link to this post around LJ. There are no limits on downloads from SaveFile, so the files can be grabbed often without blocking anyone else from grabbing them.

Also, Please comment if you take. Multiple comments from people as they download new soundtracks are both appreciated and welcome.
