A friend just turned me onto a fantastic website,
www.daytrotter.com. The site exists to create opportunities for independent artists to create alternative versions of released and unreleased songs for free. This allows the site to promote new, original material and it allows music lovers to explore new artists for free. I suspect they have about 600 artists or so that have contributed to the site, and the site lists about 700 Daytrotter Sessions. For each session an artist will contribute three to five reworked songs for your listening pleasure.
My favorite artists on the site (so far) are Aimee Mann, Andrew Bird, Bell X1, Bon Iver, Death Cab for Cutie, Elvis Perkins, Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Ingrid Michaelson, Jaymay, Joe Pug, Kate Walsh, Langhorne Slim, Meiko, The National, Speck Mountain, Vampire Weekend and Zee Avi.
