I AM FUEL, YOU ARE FRIENDS

Free music from a leading purveyor of overpriced tongue-in-cheek fashion

Is it just me, or do you always kinda secretly begrudge how effortlessly you can be converted to commercial promotions when they include a free download of songs you like? Following that infectious Converse track and the Cartier compilation, the summer of free music continues with the folks wanting to outfit your urban experience.

It's okay to feel a little dirty.

Urban Outfitters' upbeat summer mixtape tracklist is pretty solid -- lots of bands on here to love, songs to rawk out to at full volume. Parts of this feel like playlist of bands I've been fortunate to catch in the last few months, from folks like Black Kids and Architecture in Helsinki at Coachella to King Khan and the Shrines a few weeks ago (at an off-the-hook craaaazy good show).

Okay, so rock on (while you shop?). It's free. After you spent $85 on those jeans, they owe you as much.

Anyone who knows me will know that I freely admit that that word is my nemesis and I cannot seem to remember how to spell it. Go figure.

Thanks!
