It is even better to have friends in bands that make music you want to hear. I’m lucky enough to have met Rubin at a job a few years ago and was excited to receive an email with the following:
12 FOR 13. At the beginning of each month throughout the year 2013 I will be releasing one of these projects online for free. It might be a full album or it might be a single song. It might be an actual movie or it might be a soundtrack to a movie that doesn't even exist. It will cover most every band that I have played in from 2000 through today as well as other projects I have worked on over the years. Many of you on this email were/are/will be a part of these projects.

This embodies the ethic of Common Folk “It’s about igniting a thought or sparking a smile, just trying to disrupt the monotony of the all too common daily grind. Common folk doing uncommon things.”

The first project he is releasing is The Perps


To quote Rubin:
The Perps are a duo made up of Bill Resh and myself. Bill and I played in a band together for 7 years in the 90′s called The Circle Six (he was the rapper, I was the guitar player). After that band broke up we started recording together in my studio between the years of 2000 – 2011 and produced close to 40 tracks. We have chosen what we feel are the strongest of those songs and presented them to you here. The best part: it’s 100% free. All you have to do is click, download, listen, and (hopefully) enjoy.
