"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

Free music

As Pitchfork continues its Orwellian program of dominion over the institution of music, its Ministry of Hipster Cred (MiniHipCred), whose slogan is "Retro is modern", is expanding into related fields such as the music festival. The 2006 Pitchfork Music Festival has an impressive lineup of artists, such as Yo La Tengo, Danielson, Aesop Rock, Spoon, Jens Lekman, etc. To commemorate this year's festival, Pitchfork has released a doubleplusgood free sampler of acts performing therein on Emusic. It's free so give it a try.
