Want a digital download? Now you can do it Indie and DRM free.
The basic story behind our new Hoodlums Think Indie website is this:
Over the past ten or twelve years, a huge number of rebellious, passionate record store geeks like us have banded together in indie store coalitions to take on the Corporate Toads (TM). We get together (it’s quite a party) and listen to tunes and scheme about how to keep the music biz real.
That’s a lot of knowledgeable characters (with a capital “C”), and together we’ve provided amazing indie exclusives, in-store performances, and events like Record Store Day.
Now, Hoodlums is lucky enough to be part of the new Think Indie Digital Store. Sure, we have a Hoodlums home page, and we really hope you will sign up an account and support us… but this website it so much more than just Hoodlums. This site is Record Store Geeks on parade.
Sure, the hoodlums at Hoodlums are going to do some specific recommending, but if you look around, you’ll see that there is great music in every corner of the site. For instance, check out the amazing Numero compilations (we’ve got ‘em in the store too) if you dig funk, soul, and gospel from all over the world.
You’ll also notice that a lot is missing. For now, that would be the major labels. But word on the street is that the cool ones will be on board starting next month. But as you’ll see here from the Hoodlums Wishlist, which includes our featured albums, there’s plenty of amazing new music in the land of indie labels.
In the meantime, these sweet little MP3s are DRM free and 320 kb, so you know you are getting the very best in digital goodness for your minimal fee. Oh, did we mention that there are free downloads as well. We’re not talking about junk, but great songs by bands like Budos Band, Builders and Butchers, and Dave Alvin… as well as free songs from labels like Alligator, Vice, and Matador. We knew you’d dig that.
