What's The Catch?

If I wanted to stop anybody exploiting my songs I'd put 'em in a shoe box and bury them in the back garden.

I WANT you to listen to them, sing them, play them on the guitar, give them away to your friends, inflict them on your enemies and annoy strangers by playing them loudly in public places.

You may do all of these things FOR FREE. In fact I encourage it. All I would ask is

  • If you post anything on the net (and I'd be honoured if you did) please link back to my site, rather than hotlinking to the files themselves. That way people can find out where the songs came from and get more freebies for themselves.
  • Don't charge anyone else for my songs. I'm pretty much committed to the whole 'dying in squalid poverty' thing but if I knew someone was making money on what I was giving away for nothing I'd feel all cross when I died & wouldn't enjoy Heaven as much.
  • If you're feeling really kind you could leave a comment (or email Matt AT MattBlick DOT com) and let me know what you like. A little encouragement goes a long way.

Thanks for listening. Now go get 'em!
