There will be a butt-load of bands playing at this year’s SXSW. As an introduction, they’ve put up a torrent of 739 MP3s by 739 artists. Looks like I need to clear some space on my hard drive.

2006 Music Mixs
Along with all the snow has come a slew of the best music of 2006 lists. Here are a couple of lists you can actually listen to:
-
1. A download of pitchforks 100 best songs of 2006. Each an every song. I have no idea how long this link will last so get it while it’s hot.
-
2. Paper thin Walls asked more than 30 of their favorite music writers to pick just one song that sums up 2006. Every song on it is a number one to somebody.
Last Christmas, I Gave You My Heart
What they’re doing is compiling an archive of all the versions of Wham!‘s “Last Christmas.†As of this posting there is 126 versions of this christmas-crap making for almost nine hours of christmas-torture. Enjoy.
More MOS On Artifacting
Mates Of State (one of my favorite bands) has a few songs from the Daytrotter Studio Sessions free for the downloading. There is also a great interview with Jason posted.

The Livestock Marketing Association has mp3’s available for each of the World Livestock Auctioneer Champions from 1963-present for download. These are actually pretty fun to listen to. What a crazy talent to have.
