I haven't seen it mentioned here before but if you want some free tunes for your mp3 player head over to the Daytrotter Sessions archive

http://www.daytrotter.com/al/artists/alphabetical.html

Over 600 free live sessions usually of 3 or 4 tracks - the bands are mainly American Indie / Alternative / 'Pitchfork' Types like Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Grand Archives, Casiotone, Death Cab, Dinosaur Jr, Steven Malkmus with some exceptions (Tricky did one recently)

I finally got round to downloading them all (Firefox + Flashgot + Leech on OS X using the chronological list made it relatively quick) - takes up about 8gigs at the moment but there a new additions almost daily at the moment.

I like the Fleet Foxes, a great band. I don't normally get moved by new music but they're one of the bands i'd travel to see, which i very rarely find nowadays.

If you like Fleet Foxes check out Grand Archives, Band of Horses and The Low Anthem.

I like Americana, alt-country stuff. Ryan Adams, Gillian Welch. Anymore recommendations?
