PLU news, releases, downloads and more - from 1992 to now!

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something PLU...

Many thanks to Ubuweb, PennSound, and WFMU for hosting the tracks on this site to make it more accessible for more people to download for free.

We strongly believe in the power of profit through free distribution, and the publicity that comes along with that - so we are putting our money where our mouse is. Often people have never heard of an artist because they aren't being distributed through as many channels as they should be, due to the very poor state of music/media distribution for non-major label music coupled with ignorance of the way that avant garde art forms infiltrate mainstream culture. Also many prints of a work are allowed to go out of circulation or are deleted for no reason other than cost effectiveness by a label/publisher. This makes perfect sense financially, but no sense whatsoever that a year's work by an artist should also disappear for such reasons. So get all of this while you can, and we completely endorse getting one's work out there, no matter what. If you don't share, your profit is limited.

We encourage all creative use of our work, and although we don't encourage duplicating of our work for commercial use you are welcome to share as mp3s or sample.
