I've got a lot going on right now, so I'm gonna take the easy route and send you to a different website that everyone who enjoys this blog should dig. Daytrotter is a website/music studio that records brief live sets from all sorts of up and coming artists and releases the results for free. You can stream the songs or download the mp3's.
The website produces a lot of content. How they get all these bands to play for them and more importantly how they get so many bands to visit Rock Island, Illinois (look it up) is beyond me. But we get to reap the benefits. The website also includes nice drawings of the performers and extremely pretentious (there's that word again) writeups about the music. Who could ask for more?
I highly recommend checking out the "top sessions" section featuring the likes of Fleet Foxes, Spoon, Andrew Bird and other well-known artists. But the best thing about the website is how many random bands you've never heard of get featured. Dig around a little and I'm sure you'll find some exciting new stuff. Check out Lucero below.
