Those folks of Merge Records are good people. Seriously, they are. Not only do they release killer records by such artists as Spoon, Caribou, Destroyer and the Clean, but they're generous. Take this week, for example, which marks the release of a new, and totally free, 14-track Merge sampler.
The comp can be downloaded at Amazon.com over here. You'll have to pass on some personal info to get it, but, hey, it's free. And check out this tracklisting:
