New Summer Music is the new awesome

Between all the new music available on myspace and mp3 blogs these days (and the lists of music that cameron sends me because that is all he does at work), I have gotten shamelessly addicted to hitting the 'download' button and getting all sorts of free new music. The internet has been turned into this lovely musical buffet, where you get to sample a little bit of lots of different things and figure out which bands you really like and want more of.

so. i have compiled some of my favorites - freebie music from the past few months that i think make a lovely summer mix. I have done the hunting and gathering so that you don't have to. download. listen. enjoy.

(with bonus preview sufjan stevens track on there, from his soon-to-be-released album Avalanche, outtakes and extras from the illinois album)

this will be a limited download, so get it while its hot. please note that i am not technologically advanced enough to know how to do a fancy zipped file on the site, so i have to use this filesharing program that makes you wait 45 seconds before you can download the file. i am sure it is so that you can stare at the advertising on their site. sorry. after the 45 seconds go by, you can download the cd in the top right-hand side of the page.
