Site Pimping: Daytrotter January 25, 2007
Posted by fleaonaleash in : Uncategorized , trackback
Continuing my obsession with substituting the word “recommend” for “pimp”, I thought I’d share an excellent site I found recently Daytrotter.
The most exciting feature of the site for me is the availability of exclusive and free music recorded at the Daytrotter Sessions
Daytrotter Sessions
These fine people 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. What they leave behind is a pile of ashes, sometimes a forgotten stocking hat and four absolutely collectible songs that often impart on whomever listens to them the true intensity that these musicians put into their art, sometimes with more clarity than they do when they have months to tinker with overdubs and experiments. These songs are them as they are on that particular day, on that particular tour dirty and alive. We want you to make this your new home as it is ours. We promise that you will love it here.
Personally, I was most excited about the live and unreleased on the albums Sunset Rubdown recordings. Also got myself a few tunes from Of Montreal here. Hope you enjoy the site, and swap some music recommendations with me here.
