Daytrotter

If your hipper than me, you probably know about Daytrotter already and can stop reading now.

If, however, you're like me and have been unaware of the brilliant job done by a group of seemingly amiable, polite, Midwestern fellas with an ear for great new music, than continue on, cause your life is about to get a small bit better.

Daytrotter is dedicated to recording and presenting music from a lot of bands you know and a bunch more you probably don't, in a live unprocessed package and making it available for listening and download, a lot of times for free or at a reasonable price slightly higher than free.  The roster of artists that have sat down for a session at The Horseshack studio in Rock Island, Ill. since 2006 is impressive to say the least - see recent guests MGMT,  Stars, Chief, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Alejandro Escovedo and lots, lots more.  In addition to the recording, each session gets original artwork to accompany it. Also be sure to check out the videos and iPhone app.

Wow, not sure how this could get much better unless they actually brought these artists right to your living room to record.
