Stello's Choice

SXSW is going on in Austin, and it's renown for combing out trendy new artists from the tangled hair of indie culture.

On the website each band has a sample MP3 you can download to get a taste of their music, and some people have compiled them all into massive torrents here.  Quite a vast array of new artists to sample, and it's all legal.

Ghostface and Doom

Also, a friend recently informed me that MFDoom is back at it under the name Doom:  tracks from his new CD  Born Like This and his collaboration with Ghostface can be sampled at Think Differently.

Also, back on the chipmusic trend: Anamanaguchi presents Dawn Metropolis.  Oh, the joys of a hacked 1985 NES.
