MP3 Saturdays: Sisyphus Under the Stars

2009-11-07T06:00:00.001-06:00

If you are reading this post in a feed reader, please click through to listen to the song.

Here's an old song from RPM Challenge 2008.

The new system works like this:
1. You can stream the song for free each week from the blog.
2. You can purchase the song for a very low amount (usually free or a few cents)
3. You can recommend the song on Amie Street if you have bought it and really like it.
4. If you have recommended the song and it becomes popular, you get paid!

UPDATE: I put the song up Friday night thinking that it would sit there until this post brought attention to it. Now I see that it already is up to $0.13 and has one REC!

In the future, I will send out an email invite to people on the mailing list so you can get first crack at downloading the music for free (or cheap).
