On a more positive note, I want to publicly
thank The CARS for reuniting and releasing a wonderful new album of music. The Seattle concert was beyond amazing. Didn’t seem like they’d
been apart for more than a week. Don’t
forget to reward these exceptional artists by purchasing their new album at http://www.amazon.com/Move-Like-This-Cars/dp/B004NTMNB8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311832232&sr=8-1

Over the past years I've collected a lot of
unreleased material that I now see folks selling on Ebay
and other websites for big sums of money. Did these sellers invest their
blood, sweat, or tears into obtaining this material? Are the artists
obtaining any of this revenue? Should one be able to profit from someone
else's hard work? No. This site hopes to rectify this.
My entire (at first it will be in parts until I get everything up and running)
collection is linked below at no cost to you. I also have no interest in
providing for free any material that Ric, Ben,
Elliot, Greg, and/or David can profit from (i.e., are available commercially).
If any of these songs are available commercially, please e-mail me at pwreconomist@gmail.com so that I
can pull the song(s) off of this site. Be so kind as to provide a
web link to the location where you believe these songs are available
commercially, so that I can verify such.
I will encourage those of you that do "enhance" your
CARS collection to consider a donation to help support this website, as it is
not free to me. Ongoing funds are necessary to support development and
payment of the web host. If you would be willing to donate $5 (or some
other amount) it would be most appreciated.
