Brad Sucks FrostWire’s Welcome Screen this week

Download Torrent

Brad Sucks new album “Out of It” is the Frostclick Pick of this week for the FrostWire Welcome Screen. Definitively a must for your portable m3p player.

Brad Sucks according to wikipedia
Brad Turcotte (born November 14, 1976), a member of the one man band Brad Sucks, was among the first musicians to take full advantage of the Free Culture movement for advertising and distribution. He has very successfully used micropatronage to profit from his work without restricting the freedom to share and modify it.

Turcotte opened his website in 2002 with the intention of producing “open source music”. His self-produced single, Brad Sucks One, included the audio source files used to create the finished files, and later he posted these source files to his website along with the MP3s.

Turcotte waives all rights to his songs essentially making them public domain.

You’re in for a treat, Brad Sucks Rocks. If you’re into Twitter, you can follow him.

Thanks to the FrostClick team once again for putting together an awesome torrent, it even includes lyrics to all the songs, and a short voice message from Brad Sucks himself to all the FrostWire users.

The FrostWire team has a few Twitter addicts. It was about time we blogged here how to follow what’s going on

User Demir from Istanbul, Turkey let us know today that Linux Pardus is very popular over there and that they’ve created a FrostWire .pisi package for easy installation of FrostWire on that Linux Distro.

We can’t really test that package on our end, but If you are a Pardus user reading this, please give it a try with that package and let us know how things went.

Black ELement free album blasts on FrostWire

Download Torrent
Follow Black ELement on Twitter

I’m truly excited to have the opportunity to introduce Black ELement and its free album A Major Minority to the FrostWire community.

I first had the chance to listen to this album last year and it went straight to my iPod because of Black ELement’s innate energetic talent to rap and to make really good hip hop. It truly stands out from the hundreds of wanna-be-rappers we’ve had to listen to in order to make our FrostWire featured picks every month.

ESPSIX makes us dance this week on FrostWire

ESPSIX is an awesome DJ/Composer from Czech Republic that shares his music under Creative Commons. After the FrostClick team showed it to us it was a no brainer to feature ESPSIX on FrostWire, it’s an absolute must to have it on your iPod and we recommend that you download it and share it with your friends with FrostWire.

Update:(Feb/19th/2009)
ESPSIX has broken all FrostWire download records so far, in only 10 days the album has been shared by over 50,000 people, transferring over 4 Terabytes of data on the BitTorrent network alone.

Here’s a special message from ESPSIX himself:

Hi there!
I’m Espsix – a DJ and composer from Czech Republic. I generally create varieties of house music like Discohouse, Funkyhouse, Clubhouse, Electrohouse, but also experiment with nujazz or nufunk. One of my newest nujazz/funk tracks is also included in this Espsix collection.

One of my newest discohouse tracks – “Discore” – is for now only available with this torrent download exclusively from Frostwire.

I started composing about 3 years ago on a simple DJ Software running on Linux. Now I am using FL Studio utilizing free and/or creative commons beats. I am not your typical DJ either – I don’t perform in clubs – I am more of a composer creating house music and giving it away to whomever wants to hear it.

All my music is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license, which means it is totally free for you to listen to, share with friends and remix. If create any derivative works, remember to share under the same license and give me credit. If you would like to use it commercially, you have to contact me to licensing details (and no, it is not free if you intend to make money on it!).

Sean Fournier signs licensing agreement with MTV Networks

Sean Fournier mentions on his blog that he has signed a licensing agreement with MTV Networks (MTV, VH1, etc.)

We wonder if FrostWire had anything to do along the chain of events that lead to this, he mentions the VH1 person who contacted him had gotten his hands on the free album thanks to a friend from MTV. (who could at some point gotten referred through a friend of a friend that downloaded it with FrostWire? who knows)

Whatever the case, we feel very happy for Sean Fournier and we thank him for sharing his awesome music with the world.

New FrostWire Website Finally Up

Today a new version of the website is up. The team has been working on this site since November 08 and finally it’s out.

The forum has not been skinned to the new look of the site, and it’s been moved to it’s own space on the web server, independent from the site. Our apologies to the forum users and moderators if things are a bit rocky after the upgrades, we’ll hear all your complains and will work to help you get the forum just the way you need it.

We expect a few things to fail here and there, as every website, it’s always a work in progress and we expect your feedback.

Please report whatever problems you expect WITH THE WEBSITE on this post. Suggestions are welcome.

We hope you like it
FrostWire Team
