The first podcast from New York City and one of the first Indie Music Podcasts to hit the scene - Tracks Up the Tree has been reviewed “Out of all the music podcasts I’ve listened to, this is the first one that has played music that I universally liked” by the New Podcast Review. Adopting the unique stance of only playing music from artists websites who make their tracks available online, Tracks Up the Tree is podcast semi-live from Brooklyn NY and delivers the best indie music to be found on the internet. “Making Indie Your Main Stream”
A few indie bands, such as Postal Service, Fruit Bats, Shins, among others, are making use of the popularity of BitTorrent to distribute some free tracks, videos, and promotional material to their fans. Dust off your BitTorrent client and get downloading.
the Shins have finally announced a January 23rd release date for their next full length Wincing the Night Away. I know it’s just setting myself up for disappointment, but I’m really looking forward to the album.
