The structure of these posts is still a work in progress. I decided this week to post the links on Sunday, at the end of the week, to make sure I get all of this week’s posts in. And, to do a little write-up of what you’ll find below.
This week most of the music I found (and actually, most of the music I find every week) is dominated by roots/Americana/blues/however you want to call it; there’s one tribute to MCA; and two places where you’ll find some more “indie”-sounding music (Herohill and Chromewaves). Not too much in the way of free music this week, but there are a lot of reviews and write-ups to check out (most of which include streaming music).
I hope you enjoyed your weekend – now you can get some sweet music to keep you entertained throughout the week.
