iTunes growth as stunted as the economy? KC local Sam Billen and label The Record Machine have teamed up to add a little holiday cheer to your world with new tunes that won’t break the bank.
Stream Billen’s entire new record, Headphones & Cellphones, for free through The Record Machine. This record is Billen’s first since former band The Billions broke up in 2008, and also marks his first solo album in 5 years.
Feedback for Headphones & Cellphones:
“While Tokyo Sessions was an introspective and minimalist offering, the 10-song Headphones & Cellphones seems more a reflection of Billen’s inspirations, namely ’70s AM Gold and more modern, soul-infused Top 40 pop music. Think Christopher Cross meets J.Lo meets Death Cab for Cutie.”
“Woke up one morning to find some of Sam’s tracks in my e-mail and I haven’t been able to stop listening since.”

If the free online stream isn’t enough (didn’t Santa tell you not to be greedy?), Billen’s full album can be purchased for just two bucks via The Record Machine Site. Catch it fast though – the promo ends today.
Keep an eye out for Billen’s upcoming album, Removers, which will feature covers of Deastro, Republic Tigers, The Postal Service, Todd Rundgren, Capybara and more.
