Omar Rodríguez-López (guitarist from The Mars Volta) and John Frusciante (erstwhile Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist) have recorded an album together.

And, best of all, it’s available for free download.

That said, donations are encouraged and, while not required, it would be nice if anyone that downloaded gave a little.  All donations received will be re-donated to ‘Keep Music In Schools’.  Also, consider that any donation, however small, encourages this sort of distribution model and can’t hurt in the fight to get record companies to realise there are alternatives to nabbing as much cash as possible while kicking the crap out of anybody who strays outside their rules and smearing DRM excrement over people who legitimately buy their music.  Hmmmm – a discussion for another day, maybe…

Anyway, according to Omar’s web site, this album – of which there are seven songs currently listed – was recorded a number of years ago.  In a very nice move, each song can be downloaded in a number of formats and bit-rates (again, record companies take note – lots of people want a choice in these things).

So then, let’s face it.  You’d be mad not to go get it.  If you do, try to donate something.  You know it makes sense.
