Hey Ian,

This is XXXXX I manage Bright Eyes along with XXXXXXX CC’d above. You should be hearing from Saddle Creek shortly but being as it’s the holidays and I am not sure if they are online today, I wanted to write you quickly and request that you remove the two tracks from The People’s Key that you have posted. Neither track has been authorized by the artist or label for use on any blog or site and so please take them down immediately and let us know that you have received this email.
Very best,
XXXXXXXXX

NOISECAST #3 – THE COVERS (SUMMER 2010)

I tried really hard to make this one longer than 25 minutes, I really did, but I couldn’t find another song that fit well into this mix for the life of me. I think its pretty good, though a bit short. Have a listen.

NOISECAST #2 – FOLK PUNK

I started this noisecast by trying to make a pop punk mix and failing miserably (the only track remaining is “Glendora”). I know that not all of these songs are “folk-punk” in the strictest sense, and you die hard folk-punkers will probably scoff at a bunch of my choices, but I selected these songs under the criteria that they all had something punk about them, and that they were acoustic, not because they were traditional anarcho-folk-punk jams (though you still get “Punx win!”).

Its loose, but I think it flows pretty well.

Rilo Kiley – Glendora

Defiance, Ohio – Grandma Song

Leftover Crack – Soon We’ll Be Dead

Violent Femmes – Out The Window
