I can’t say I agree with the premise that it’s more difficult to discover new and interesting music, but I can promise you I’ll be spending some time on Daytrotter. If you don’t know about the site, here’s their story.
“Almost every day of the year, at least one touring band will take some time off from the road to stop by The Horseshack, Daytrotter’s recording studio in Rock Island, Illinois. Each act records four or five songs live to analog tape—no overdubs allowed, mistakes left in—and hits the road again. The sessions are released on Daytrotter.com at a rate of one a day, where they’re available for free stream or download.”
What’s not to love about that?
