Another Pay-What-You-Want Album (Saul Williams)


I'm not really 100 percent sure how I feel about Saul Williams, but thanks to his generosity you're able to figure it out without paying a dime. In the same vein as Radiohead's release this year, Williams gives you a rather high-quality (in technical terms) album. You can purchase the album here, or as I said, get it for free (also there). Williams falls under the category of experimental hip-hop with some spoken word in there, but what I'm digging most on his album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust his his "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" cover (originally done by U2, obviously). The song seems fitting given this cold, dreary Sunday we're experiencing here in the Northeast. Or maybe it is just the Jets' loss.

You can sample some songs on his MySpace, including "Sunday, Bloody Sunday."
