Check out something I learnd dot com, looking for punk rock and free mp3’s then here you go. I must recommend one of my favorite bands of the 80’s which lead me to the site. State of Confusion.

Here’s a little taste.

“Trashed” by State of Confusion

On May 6th, 3 Oasis tracks leaked. You can read the review here and listen to them here. Regardless if it’s an “old version” (like when Radiohead leaked a while back) it’s new Oasis, and it’s good. Like most music junkies, versions are collectible!
