Tired of giving your money to bands and labels that don't support you in return?

Check out the bands that are willing to give you some of their music up front, in the hopes that after hearing it you'll decide to support them anyway.

It's a new model of business for the music world. Let's support it.

Pump up the volume.

I'm not afraid anymore.

I know why my parents destroyed this property, and I know now that it will never be my fate to do the same. I understand now why the other house deteriorated so rapidly once my mother was the only one living in it, and why things only seemed to get worse as I grew older and more jaded. I used to be very happy with that house when I was young... it used to hurt me when my mother would scream and cry and complain about it.. in essence, I loved it and I blessed its continued existence when I was a child because it was all I had known and it seemed to me that one house was as good as any other. As I grew older, that attitude changed, and I too became discontent but never to the degree that my mother was. When I moved out, the only person left in that house was someone who had actively cursed it with all her heart for the entirety of my life. She believed it was a hellhole.

Energy flows where attention goes. You get what you focus on.

Strangely enough, the corollary to this realization is the realization that I was wrong about my parent's decision to buy a large five-bedroom house in Minnesota. My parents will not destroy their new home in the manner that they have destroyed this one. There are no negative feelings associated with the new place, no feelings of being trapped, no beliefs that it is in any way unsatisfactory... as a result, I believe they will focus on the positive aspects of it and end up blessing it far more than cursing it.

it will be interesting to see what over twenty years of blessings by them does to a property, rather than the converse.
