To promote upcoming albums from Tim Barry and Drag the River, we have been making CD samplers featuring tracks from “Rivanna Junction” and “Hobo’s Demos”. The sampler also has tracks from “it’s Crazy” and Ghost Buffalo’s self-titled album. 8 Tracks in all. We decided why not just post the entire sampler online,too, for any and all to download. So we ask you to stop by the page, download some songs, and if you wouldn’t mind, please tell your friends to also stop by the site. We still have our label sampler that we posted a few months ago and now the free sampler page will give you access to download either sampler.

I just forced myself to listen to the enitre Kevin Federline album, “Playing with Fire”. You can stream it in its entirety on AOL’s listening party by clicking this link. If more than 50 people buy it this week, i will be blown away. I thought it would be bad, but it really doesn’t get much more generic than this.
If you are going to listen to some albums on AOL, make sure you listen to these:
Lady Sovereign, ‘Public Warning’
Willie Nelson, ‘Songbird’
Deftones, ‘Saturday Night Wrist’

I have been slacking when it comes to updates about what is going on at Daytrotter. These kind folks have been working overtime to bring everyone free sessions with some fo the greatest bands on the planet. Every week they post a new session and you can download the songs as mp3s at no cost to you. Pretty brilliant and the reason I interviewed them a while back.
They have posted a number of sessions since I have last written about them. Here are a list of just some of the bands they have done a daytrotter session with:
Free Songs: Of Montreal
Free Songs: P.O.S.
Free Songs: Page France
Free Songs: Bonnie Prince Billy
Free Songs: Cold War Kids
Free Songs: Two Gallants
If any of these bands strike your interest, make sure you visit the site and check out the other sessions. I think it is amazing that they work so hard to do this from recording the bands, to making artwork, to the use of bandwidth, all for free consumption by you and me.

The New Amsterdams have posted 4 brand new versions of old songs on their myspace page.
I love this band. I am partial to “Worse for the Wear”, but I like nearly everything they have put out. I don’t know how well they sell in comparison to the Get Up Kids, but it seems that somewhere throughout the Get Up Kids ending, the momentum for all things Matt Pryor seems to have slowed.

One of my favorite all time bands who recently reunited, Lifetime, have just posted a new song (All Night Long) from their upcoming 2 song seven inch on Decaydance. This is their first new material in 10 years. Personally, it settled my nerves a bit to hear this song as I don’t think its bad at all. I’d love to hear others thoughts though.
Listen to All Night Long on the Lifetime Purevolume page.
