Daytrotter - The sweetest name you'll ever hear

Ahh. My friends. (Doesn't that address bring back fond memories?)

I'm about to tell you about one of the best things that the internet has to offer. You better take a seat if you haven't already, because this is big. Alright. Ready?

http://www.Daytrotter.com

There you go. That is your portal to some of the best music on this planet, and unless there's some incredible music being played in some distant galaxy somewhere, it very well could be some of the best music in the universe. I suppose some of you would like to know my reasoning behind this bold statement...

Well, how about a list?

1) It's MUSIC.

2) It's DOWNLOADABLE music.

3) It's FREE downloadable music.

4) It's LEGAL free downloadable music.

5) It's INDIE legal free downloadable music.

6) It's GOOD indie legal free downloadable music.

Have I convinced you yet? I've convinced myself.. But I'll keep going.

This site is earth-shattering in so many different ways. I'm constantly finding gems that'd I'd probably never be exposed to, had it not been for this site. It's a wonderful place to find out about new bands, and check out their stuff, since it's all free! Here's their description of their website:

Daytrotter.com: five featured bands, 20 Daytrotter Session songs each week

There are so many music/entertainment websites that copy one another, scrambling so fast to "discover" or present something new to the world. And just because you get there first, it doesn't really make you an explorer. We did poke a stars and stripes into the moon, but we could always see it. We knew it was there. It wasn't new. We can always come along and say we did, saw, heard something first, but we're never right. What Daytrotter is attempting to do is to not kid around with you and tell you that we found something that you never knew existed. We are going to contribute to the musical landscape, not just toss it around like a used book or a stolen pick-up line. We're going to give you something that you truly have never heard. We are not giving you songs from someone you love's record album, thereby stealing from someone you love. We're giving you exclusive, re-worked, alternate versions of old songs and unreleased tracks by some of your favorite bands and by a lot of your next favorite bands.

Did I happen to mention that this website is amazing? These guys have their own recording studio, and they grab bands/musicians (often times while their on tour) for a couple hours, record a few live songs, chat with them a bit, and then release those amazing songs to you! You can't go wrong with that. So go ahead. Check it out. And tell me what you think.
