Sorry for the long break in posting! Thanksgiving break was busy with friends and cooking and such. School has also been winding down so I've been trying to knock out final projects. But now back to the music. Generally with the blog I have been focusing on music I like and what I hear in them. So I was going to sit and write and blog post in Los Campesinos!, but this morning I found a website that I felt you all should be aware of. Daytrotter.com is a web dedicated to good music. But the guys there took it a step further. In attempts to break away from the standard music blog pack, daytrotter.com actually brings in indie artist to get new recordings from them. Take Of Montreal for example. Daytrotter brought Kevin Barnes, the man behind Of Montreal, and had him record some acoustic tracks from hit off of Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer? and from other previous albums. It's the coolest idea I've found in a long time. Check out the site people. I'll throw some of my favorite tracks down below, but if you want to see the full list of artists they have brought in, head on over to their website. Artists to check out on their site: Of Montreal, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Andrew Bird, Frightened Rabbits, Rouge Wave, Spoon, and Vampire Weekend just to name a few. I'll try to bang out another post in the next couple of days. Good luck on finals all!
