Came across this wonderful resource a few days ago, and proceeded to download a whole stack of music before culling it to three cds' worth...
Highlights (at the moment):
* 50 Foot Wave (Kristin Hersh does punk rock - one of those 'can't go wrong' propositions)
* Helium - "Lucy" [live] (fabulous jagged noisy dream-pop)
* Spoon - "Jonathon Fisk" (almost as genius as "The Way We Get By", which is saying something)
* Mates of State - "Hoarding It For Home" (lovely twee boy-girl pop)
* Mclusky - "To Hell With Good Intentions" (really good, high-octane indie-rock)
Was also able to grab Mojave 3's "In Love With A View", which I've loved for ages but never managed to get on cd, finally listen to some stuff by numerous famous-amongst-indie-types-while-unheard-of-by-anyone-else bands (Mates of State, Pilot to Gunner, Promise Ring, Juno, Erase Errata, etc, etc...), and get a flavour of some of the extremely-hyped outfits of recent times which have so far slipped under my radar (!!! and TV on the Radio come to mind), along with loads of other good stuff.
