Largehearted Boy is a music blog featuring daily free and legal music downloads as well as news from the worlds of music, literature, and pop culture. Started in January of 2002, the blog features authors creating playlists based on their latest book (Book Notes), musicians discussing literature (Note Books), weekly CD & DVD release lists, the top music posts of the week (the Largehearted List) and much more. Its positive influence, and stance on legal mp3's, is felt across the mp3 blog world largely influencing mp3 blogger Mike Smith to begin the Take Your Medicine blog.
