Free Scandinavian music samplers at Amazon

Not the usual selection of just-Swedes either, this collection has stuff from The Deer Tracks, Figurines, Wildbirds and Peacedrums, El Perro Del Mar and I Was a King. And likewise, by perusing the top free downloads chart, I also see that Friendly Fire has a label comp for download as well: http://amzn.to/lk0RPs
Featured artists on that one include Delay Trees, Oh No Ono, Regina and The Concretes.

MP3: Oh No Ono - Helplessly young

I'm not gonna lie to you, I haven't magically become a fan of Oh No Ono overnight. Their style of indierock is still way too, I dunno... stereotypically indie for me. Heavy on quirks, light on hooks. But that's just me and I understand my opinion is not the be all end all even though I think it should be. Anyhow, what I am a fan of is Friendly Fire Recordings, vinyl and free stuff, so I'm more than happy to team up with the label to give away an autographed copy of Oh No Ono's new 2LP "Eggs" which will officially be released on March 9. The stats, should you be curious: gatefold packaging, extra loud 45RPM DMM cut with high quality 24-bit masters. So yeah, basically everything that you could want from a vinyl release with no shortcuts. You want it? All you gotta do is send me a private message to enter and I'll pick someone's name out of a hat at the end of the day, maybe even yours. Not a registered user yet? Well, now's the perfect time to remedy that. Good luck!

UPDATE: A winner has been selected. Thanks to everyone who entered! Better luck next time.
