Hey Everybody,

Maroon 5 just helped put together a free music playlist for you to download and we wanted to let you know about it.

A few weeks ago, they were hanging with a friend when they came up with an idea.

They said:
"Let's get a bunch of bands together and give away free music to people who pledge to vote.

Then after they pledge, we can send them some information that helps them find out everything they need to know about early voting, absentee voting or just finding their neighborhood polling location."

We contacted the people at Rock The Vote to help run the project, recruited some very talented artists to give away songs and launched the thing this morning.

In less than one minute, you can get Free…

So here we are... how are you? Another day... how did you sleep? enough? feeling rested?
busy? happy? stressed? First of All... thanks to you all for coming out to our shows with the counting crows and augustana and sara bareilles ... this has been our favorite tour so far... and we've really had a great time with y'all so far.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM JAMES VALENTINE
I know it's been a while since I have written a blog. For this I apologize. But I feel compelled right now to tell you about a great new artist with a swell record coming out. The band is called Willoughby. They are fronted by one of the most talented multi-instrumentalists I have the privilege of knowing, Gus Seyffert. He's been touring around playing guitar and bass some other great artists, Sia and The Bird and the Bee, but now he is deservedly in front of the mic. He also produced another great singer-songwriter named Benji Hughes (deserving of his own separate blog). I hope you all go check out this record. It's a down tempo, haunting affair that I listen to over and over again. Check out these pages and go buy it and see him play and buy his T-shirts, and maybe a…
