If this is your first MP3 Friday, here’s how it works: each Friday, I find music in MP3 blogs, and post links to my favorites. You, in turn, click through to the post, and load up your Zune (or brand X player) with the free music.

• Aquarium Drunkard posts  a track from Ron Sexsmith, and one from Rufus Wainwright

• Rock Insider Jax posts some Sea Wolf MP3s, as well as an open love letter.

• Fluxblog has an mp3 from Field Music nice!


• And IRockCleveland digs into the vault and posts music from The Mice.


• Last but certainly not least, Chromewaves posts a few tracks from Stars of Track and Field, and The Long Winters.

Enjoy the music and have a great weekend everybody!
