Disclaimer: You May Find a Broken Link
So, there USED to be freenapster.com, and it USED to provide access to almost any artist's music. It was pretty awesome, and I linked ~90% of this blog's recommendations to that site. Now, apparently, Free Napster is no more. Booooooo.
It will be a long, on-going task of mine to redirect the links to somewhere you can hear the music, but in the meantime, if you click on a link that brings you to Napster where it asks you to sign in:
1) Be angry at them, for disrupting your chance to enjoy a good song
2) Google the song and still check it out, because it's awesome
If you have another source I should be using, please don't hesitate to send it my way. Email me for that, and any music recommendations, at tracy@groundwm.com. Thanks!
and I SO wish I could go :(
I will certainly be at
Lollapalooza and
Pitchfork again this year, but I really hope I can find a way to make it to
Coachella or
CMJ or
SXSW or
Bonnaroo too. Either way, I posted the Coachella line-up below for your reference, and I also called out which bands made me immediately excited. The bands are listed in relative order of excitement. :)

Day 2 was FABulous! Yeasayer exceeded all of my high expectations. I have some pictures and videos I'll post soon. Until then, it's off to Day 3! Today I'm most excited for Grizzly Bear, The Walkmen, M83, The Very Best, and Flaming Lips.

On this blog I post one song every day by a new artist, never repeating an artist... Sometimes it takes me a while to find an artist I believe is worth posting, and most of the time, once I find that artist, I love more than one of their songs. What to do?!?!
Well, as hard as it may be, I chose one-and-only-one song to recommend each day, but now my Random 10s allow me to share other songs from these artists that I love. Enjoy! :)The Blow -
Parenthesis
Calvin Harris - Acceptable in the 80s
Grizzly Bear - Alligator (choir version)
Iron & Wine - Innocent Bones
Mugison - Jesus is a Good Name to MoanMuse - Butterflies and Hurricanes
She & Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
Verona Red - Hesitations & Cliches
Wolf Parade - Call It a Ritual
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

How very Radiohead of them... In a good way, of course! They're touring with Grizzly Bear in June, so check to see if they're coming to a venue near you. They're not stopping in Chicago, most likely due to Grizzly Bear's July performance at Pitchfork's music festival. SO excited for that!
Enjoy!

This is a great song! I'm SO excited to see them at Pitchfork this year :)
I hope you're having fun getting obliterated. Please don't die of alcohol poisoning.
