The Allen Almanac

I have excellent taste in music (unlike most kids these days) so I thought I’d start a weekly series where I showcase a free download of an artist I like every week. These are totally legal. What I’m going to try to do is link directly to the artist or label’s site. I’m not sure about the legality of mirroring them here. I thought I’d start out with a pretty well-known band that’s not exactly mainstream (that I’m aware of any way), The Postal Service. The Postal service is a synth-pop collaboration of Ben Gibbard (lead singer for Death Cab for Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (aka James Figurine or Dntel). It really reminds me of really good 80’s music, but it is definitely something new. Such Great Heights, the song I’m recommending today, is just beautiful. It’s been in the top of the Last.fm charts for awhile now, but it still deserves to be more well-known.

So here’s a link to the page where you can download an mp3 of Such Great heights (and a few other Postal Service songs which also come recommended).
