Great news for all impoverished music lovers out there!

Carbon/Silicon, featuring — one of my all-time favorite songwriters — Mick Jones (formerly of The Clash and Big Audio Dynamite) and Tony James (formerly of Generation X), have just released their new 12-Song LP entitled The Carbon Bubble. It is available at the Carbon/Silicon site as a free download.  THAT’S RIGHT, FREE DOWNLOAD!  Get over there, and get it!

Also, for those of you who don’t have it yet, be sure to download their fabulous two-song EP,  Maybe That’s The Meaning of Life, as well — co-written and recorded with Gary Kemp (formerly of Spandau Ballet).

I’m playing The Carbon Bubble LP right now as I type, and it is awesome!  The tracks “What’s Up Doc” and “The Best Man” — a favorite of mine so far — both have an authentic late 70s punk sound — and could easily pass as early Clash tunes. “Reach For the Sky” is great as well — sort of has that now-familiar Carbon/Silicon sound.  “Make it Alright” has an early 60s, garage sound — just fantastic!

Carbon/Silicon have written an awesome album! — definitely, one of the best releases of 2009!  Mick Jones has still got it.  And now he’s giving it away.

Once you’ve downloaded and had a chance to give it a spin, let us know what you think.  Enjoy!
