Wilco mp3 for your vote

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Wilco with Fleet Foxes are giving away a version of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" on the WilcoWorld website.

"...in the spirit of giveaways that seem to be sweeping the nation, we've got something free for you. No it's not a pile of cash (sorry) but rather an audio postcard of sorts from a summer's night in Oregon with our friends the Fleet Foxes & a lovely Bob Dylan tune."
To get the recording you need to  "...pledge to vote in the 2008 Election" and an email containing a link to the download is sent out.

Great idea, but how does this work outside of the USA? No encouragement to go for Obama or McCain. Other than encourage people to vote, a good thing, and to listen to your music for free, also a good thing. If only Frank Zappa had given away a tune when encouraging people to vote all those years ago...
