I just had to share…

I discovered this amazing site that allows you to sample music from a plethora of interesting and slightly obscure bands and then you can download them for free!

The site is daytrotter.com and seemingly, they feature a new band daily.

One of my favorite finds? Clare and the Reasons. Her voice has an ethereal quality to it, and it helps that she’s able to inject a sense of humor through her lyrics! Search for her on daytrotter.com or check out their video for “Pluto” below:

Also from the site, a quote lifted from the band Joseph Arthur and The Lonely Astronauts:

“Songs are people

They talk like peopleThey eat like peopleThey dance like people
They dress like people

They live and they die like people”

And I don’t know if I get exactly what he means (like, how can songs eat, exactly?)… but it was too quirky not to post! 

Sigh. I miss being in a band…
