Once, for a brief & misguided period in 2003, I was employed by a commercial music production house.

Mercifully, they fired me. I celebrated by spending my first weekend of unemployment bashing out a 23-track scrap heap of sonic whimsy entitled I Used to Write Jingles For a Living. I started giving it out as a freebie CD-R at my old band's live shows around the East Coast.

Then, somehow the album started making the rounds in Russian file-sharing circles - including various pay-per-MP3 sites. Well, bollocks to that, Ivan! To undercut these plunderous leeches, I've cast dignity & profits to the wind and posted I Used to Write Jingles For a Living in full at Last.FM - and it's free to download. Get the goodies here:

Because, in the words of A.A. Newcombe, "the Beatles were for sale - I give it away."
