Here's a fun start to our holiday downloading this season!  Target is offering thirteen free tracks from artists as varied as Guster, Blackalicious, and Ceci Bastida.  You won't find any of the old Christmas standards here, but the talent and range of styles is such that I'd say you're decently likely to stumble across a new favorite.  Stream them all right from the web page to check them out commitment-free, or download at will!

You'll find Guster, Blackalicious, Darker My Love, Natalie Hemby, Crystal Antlers, Bishop Allen, Jenny O., Little Jackie, Best Coast Waaves, Coconut Records, Little Isidore, The Pinker Tones, and Ceci Bastida.

Quick Note on an Awesome Organic Skincare Deal!

Recently while I was raving about my newest favorite daily deals sites, Eversave and Jasmere, I mentioned that there had been an Eversave deal on organic skincare that I had just purchased and loved, but that was no longer available... well that awesome company was Anthology Organic, and they're back with a new deal, this time on Jasmere!

So if you like vegan products; simple but efficacious organic ingredients like shea butter, jojoba, and essential oils; or just love a good vintage design, you should totally check out Jasmere's deal on Anthology, available until Monday!  Right now it's $16 for a $35 credit, and the price may go down even further as more people buy over the next few days.  I love this company's products and ethics, and getting it at a discount is even better!

PS.  Those are referral links, but the opinions I've expressed are 100% mine and not influenced by that.  You should totally check out the deal even if you don't want to use my link.  ;)

Friday Friv-- uhhh, hang on a sec, 4-year olds sued for negligence? aka, and then a bike ride cost mommy and daddy their house...

Hmmm I mean, I'm all for kids taking responsibility for their actions... but a four year old?  Do they have her on tape laughing maniacally as she pedaled gleefully away from the scene of the crime?  Was it pre-meditated?  Did she wheel her bike around and hit the woman a second time?  (That poor woman, by the way...)

Anyway, I just find this story a little hard to believe... I feel like there has to be more to it.  Either that or the judge is heavily imbibing something, and it is NOT coffee.

Free Music Madness, 13 "Indie" Tracks Edition. aka, yayy War Tapes, Two Loons For Tea, Abra Moore, and more!

As a genre, "indie" is fuzzy at best, and usually translates to "a little of whatever we felt like, with a smattering of folk or world influences, and/or a really distinctive (read: odd) vocalist."   Be that as it may, here are two self-described "indie" samplers from the label Sarathan.

On the first, Sarathan Records Indie Sampler, you'll find tracks from War Tapes, Sensation Junkies, Thunder Buffalo, and Two Loons for Tea, among others.

On the second, Sarathan Records Sunset Sampler, you'll find tracks from Abra Moore, Lisbeth Scott, Christopher Blue, and others.

This stuff is right up my ally... hopefully you'll like it too!  :)
