NPR Music

Spoon, Fall 2009 in Boston @ the Orpheum

While I love downloading albums, I hate paying money! So I've recently discovered that NPR has a free SXSW sampler, which is pretty great...I'm in the process of downloading it now, and am finding that NPR music is a pretty sweet site. Why I haven't browsed it sooner for music news, I have no clue (maybe because I'm too busy with school and reliant on the very Williamsburg-limited NYMag?), but I'm happy to have found it now.

Now I'm about to listen to Spoon & Broken Bells (who played their entire new album) live at SXSW.

Apparently, the coverage for SXSW on NPR is sponsored by PBR. Hah.

Interesting...when I saw them they also played Jonathon Fisk and didn't play a lot of these. Always great. I haven't really listened to Transference yet, but I will...tonight...

And now I'm going to dig into some of the new albums they have streaming online, including The White Stripes. This is so addicting...
