TELEKINESIS, LOW ANTHEM, the GRATEFUL DEAD & HONEY HONEY via AMAZON, NOISETRADE, DEAD.NEt & HONEYHONEYBAND.COM
Via Amazon.com:
I've been getting free tracks from Amazon for a few years now. There's a lot of random stuff out there, but there are also some great finds! I've been lucky enough to find Blind Pilot, Neko Case, Lisa Hannigan, Fleet Foxes, and John Vanderslice, all via their downloads. If you don't get the newsletter weekly from Amazon it can be a bit cumbersome finding the free music on the Amazon site. Oddly a month or two ago, they stopped adding weekly links to free music in their newsletter. However, they instead replaced it with a monthly "Artist on the Rise" download.
The latest installment includes Alt-Pop outfit Telekensis hit 'Car Crash, folkish James Vincent McMorrow, and the Canadian band City & Colour

City & Colour Winter Tourmates the Low Anthem have announced a free download of What the Crow Brings via Noisetrade.com. This artist friendly site, helps provide outlets for bands to get their material out to their fans. The novelty here, is that you can chose to download for free or chose an amount to "tip" the band for their art. I know I've recently used the site to pick up some Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls. I've also noticed the Mom + Pop Mixtape (Vol.1) a sampler from the Mom + Pop label including tremendous tracks from Freelance Whales, Sleeper Agent, Infinity Guitars, An Horse, & Metric. The Civil Wars also have a free live album Live At Eddie's Attic, which has been available for some time now from their own website.
I'm not really sure of the motivation for The Low Anthem to use the site, as they appear to be successful touring like mad for the last few years, with albums Oh My God Charlie Darwin and 2011's Smart Flesh. However, if the increased traffic to the site helps some of the other bands then I'm all for it. Also, for any Low Anthem fan that hasn't picked up this gem, now is a chance to take a step back to the band's simpler times for the ultra consistent Folk album, including the Daniel Lefkowitz gem 'This God Dam House'. There's not a "hit" on the album, but I love it from from start to finish, having listened to it on repeat many times through the last two years, while driving around my Philadelphia territory!
For newbies to the album, check out the effect on 'The Ballad of the Broken Bones'. This is a sweet effect Ben Knox Miller has perfected, using two cell phones on a joint call, next two each other, whistling into one and playing with the echo.

Per Dead.Net: "We're on a mission to make a miracle every day. As a token of our appreciation for making 2011 an epic year, we're giving away a high-quality 320Kbps MP3 download every day this month. That's 30 days of unreleased Grateful Dead tracks from the vault, selected by tape archivist David Lemieux!"
I found an awesome track 'LA RIVER' by HoneyHoney via a KCRW Today's Top Tune. This song has fantastic imagery. I could really see every thing as she described it. The banks of the rolling river, the trains, Chinatown, the body in the weeds, all of it.
Regrettably that particular download was only available on that specific date. I've tried to find it else where for my readers, but instead on their site I found an additional download, 'Turn That Finger Around' a soulful Folk-Country ballad.
