1. Cool - bookmarked to check out later. Do you know "Soundclick"?

Similar idea, although ala myspace artists can choose whether to allow streaming or download (or sometimes pay-per-download) of their songs. You have to register, but I don't recall any emails from them.

I discovered it after following a link to a fantastic anti-Scientology album by a group called Enturbulator 009 who I must plug:

posted is a direct link to some "new age" bands, artists and they seemed to be pretty damn good.... totally on the up and up, totally free downloads.

2. Then there is Artist Launch...

Artist Launch dot com is my favorite of these indie music OMD's.

Actually, the best of all such global indie music sites was mp3.com as it was in the year 2000. Of course, a big corporation stepped in and ruined it.

4. I just downloaded a song by Abigail Washburn. She is a college

student in Colorado that just finished doing a semester in China and came back a changed woman. Beautiful song labeled "Sometimes".. It's bluegrass/country.. this girl has a big future.. Thanks for the link!

5. David Rovics expressive political folksinging

takes classic protest songwriting into the Iraq era. Both in solo acoustic and light-rock combo formats, Rovics' tunes are well informed by his years as an activist troubadour and, previously, as a talented sideman and relentless street performer.
