As of the time of this writing, not even a year after it’s launch, WFMU’s Free Music Archive already boasts nearly 18,000 free music tracks from a wide array of genres.

You may recall back in June of 2009, netBloc Vol. 22: Life On Ceres featured two versions of the track “Life On Ceres” by WM Recording’s own Marco Kalnenek. Then later we featured “Never Be Another Day” by Pearl Taylor’s Grandbaby, a project by Carlton Mackay, on netBloc Vol. 25: From Darkness Cometh The Light. “Never Be Another Day” featured Carlton’s incredibly touching lyrics sung with Marco’s “Life On Ceres” as a perfect musical bed.

Read Carlton’s announcement.

The fine folks at Kilted Chaos came to me to learn a bit more about netlabels, blocSonic, what we are and what we've got planned.
Do give the interview a read, if you've got a moment.
