About: The Tyranny Belle Subscription Service (TBSS) is a free service provided by Tyranny Belle Records. The gist is this: you sign up for the TB mailing list and, every Tuesday you get a totally new, totally free MP3 from one (or more) of your favorite Tyranny Belle bands.
The TBSS was originally Art Bamford's idea. During the summer of 2007, he had the idea that a mailing list for a record label ought to be more than just an infrequent email or two about a record release or an upcoming show. We kicked it around and decided, "yeah, let's redo the website so that it's geared towards this weekly MP3 thing." And that's exactly what we did.
If you're not on the list, you can sign up at http://tyrannybelle.com. You can also find complete information on each of the tracks below (including selected lyrics and Bamford's weekly emails) from the Tyranny Belle website.
I've noticed recently that it is fashionable to claim political "parents" at cocktail parties: I recently had drinks with the lovechild of Marx and Dawkins and I once endured the pedantry of one of Susan Sonntag's bastards for what seemed like an eternity. I fancy myself the fruit of the unlikely union of Naomi Klein and Eric L Haney.
