Ahhh, free shit. You love it, I love it, EVERYONE loves it. With all the pirating and downloading and other shit that people claim to be the downfall of the record industry, it’s kind of amazing that a variety of labels and artists said “Eh, fuck it, give our shit away. For FREE!”

But, here you are, a compilation download with sweet artwork, a solid array of genres and actual effort put into it. Christine Curry did the artwork (ChristineCurry.com), Racket’s own Kateri Lirio mastered the thing and I, uh, drank a couple beers. Download the zip, drop it into whatever digital music player you find works best for you and enjoy.

You’ll find the set list behind the jump cut!
