My life has been an absolute whirlwind the past few months, and I have found myself so inundated with work that I have not seen nearly as many shows as I would have liked to. I miss the energy of the crowd and watching the organic performances and new sounds that can emerge from bands as they play.The only thing that has been getting me through this dry spell is the collection of live recordings I have been hoarding on my iPod from Daytrotter.com. Daytrotter is a recording studio in Rock Island, ILL. where bands are invited to come and play their music with whatever instruments and knick knacks happen to by lying around the studio that day.
The result? New spins on your old favorites and amazing raw recordings that make you feel like you're watching an intimate, live performance. Even better is that all the music produced during these sessions is completely free to download. Daytrotter's writers and artists also put together a sketch or drawing of the band, so that it imports as your iTunes album art for the download. Your iTunes has never looked so sweet.
Recently featured is the band The Antlers, reviewed by PFW's Alyssa just last week. Check out their session, along with the extensive session archive of all your favorite groups at daytrotter.com.
