The show must go on
Gasp, I cannot believe it has been 3 months since I have posted. Finals consumed much of my life toward the end of November, and once I had finished, I went home and relaxed for a solid 3 weeks.
Now, I’m slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things as my collegiate career comes to an end.
The other after, as I was clicking my way around Twitter, I came across this amazing site called daytrotter.com. I found SO many new bands and artists that I had never heard of before and absolutely loved. All I had to do was create my own login and register with my e-mail, and I was able to download 4 songs from each artists’ session. AWESOME! I mean, who doesn’t like free music.
But this brings me to an interesting point: downloading for free. I suppose it’s used to get the artist out there and by giving 4 songs you are able to distinguish whether or not you like them. Before the internet, the only way to get your music out into the public was performing or handing out free EPs. The EP market is slowly dwindling away, I think. Could that be a result of free online downloads?
I just thought this was an awesome site and wanted to share. I hope you find a new artist/band that you enjoy!
