http://blog.victoriac.net/topic/download The taxonomy view with a depth of 0. en http://blog.victoriac.net/blog/64 <p>Here's a list of my favourite FREE music. Yes, fellow cheapo-music-lovers, they're free for download. How wonderful, the internet is a wonderful place. And these are all legal too, I wouldn't want to rip these poor indie musicians off. I think this giving way free music works really well for them. I have often ended up buying the entire album anyway.</p> <p>These tracks on the list are mostly from podcasts. The ones from IndieFeed have some narration in them, so they're not just the music tracks, but the others are just purely free music, just as if ripped from the albums. </p> <p>I subscribe to the <a href="http://blindingflashes.blogs.com/indie_feed/featured_artist/index.html">IndieFeed Podcast channels</a> (Indie Pop, Electronica, Alternative / Modern Rock), and also the KEXP Song of The Day podcast. The list below are mostly songs I've discovered through the podcasts.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.daytrotter.com">Daytrotter</a> ones are really cool too, they're not podcasts, but from a website. It's a really interesting idea, I highly recommend anyone to go explore the site. Here's how they describe what they do:</p> <blockquote class="textquote"><p> [the artists] ...as they’re traveling through America’s heartland – take two hours out of their travels between shows to stop in for a Daytrotter Session at Futureappletree Studio One in downtown Rock Island, Ill. The name of the city is not ironic. They use borrowed instruments, play with their touring mates, utilize a often unkempt toilet, eat some food and then cram back into their vans for the last half of the drive.<br /> </blockquote > <p>And then there are the ones that nice indie bands put up for free on their websites (such as Cloud Cult.. Oh I love them).</p> <p>There you go:</p> <h2>Happy silly</h2> <ul class="bullet-list"> <li><a href="http://odeo.com/audio/687046/view">Stereo Total - Lamour A 3 (IndieFeed)</a></li> <li class="loved-list-item"><a href="http://indiefeedaltmod.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=223485">Hallelujah the Hills - Wave Backwards to Massachusetts (IndieFeed)</a></li> <li class="loved-list-item"><a href="http://indiefeedfolkamericana.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=157591">Beirut - Postcard from Italy (IndieFeed)</a></li> <li><a href="http://odeo.com/audio/11364833/view">Beirut - Elephant Gun</a></li> </ul> <h2>Sexy cool</h2> <ul class="bullet-list"> <li class="loved-list-item"><a href="http://indiefeedfolkamericana.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=199842">Ill Lit - Diner Girls (IndieFeed)</a></li> <li class="loved-list-item"><a href="http://indiefeedfolkamericana.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=111743">Ill Lit - Other People's Wives (IndieFeed)</a></li> </ul> <h2>Sappy wrenching</h2> <ul class="bullet-list"> <li class="loved-list-item"><a href="http://depts.washington.edu/kexp/blog/?p=2244">Cloud Cult - Pretty Voice</a></li> <li class="loved-list-item"><a href="http://depts.washington.edu/kexp/blog/?p=2197">Cloud Cult - Your 8th Birthday</a></li> <li><a href="http://indiefeedfolkamericana.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=218446">Tom Langford - You're Gonna Make It (IndieFeed)</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.daytrotter.com/article/164/free-songs-two-gallants">Two Gallants Daytrotter sessions</a></li> </ul> <h2>Chilly spacy</h2> <ul class="bullet-list"> <li><a href="http://blindingflashes.blogs.com/indiefeed_electronica_dan/2005/12/13_god_soft_atl.html">13 &amp; God - Soft Atlas (IndieFeed)</a></li> <li class="loved-list-item"><a href="http://indiefeedfolkamericana.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=54694">Blusom - Astronaut (IndieFeed)</a></li> </ul> <h2>Whatever.
