Italian website Ondarock has a free 2CD collection of indie artists covering “outlaw” country–Merle, Hank, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Willie, and of course Waylon. Artists include Great Lake Swimmers, Wooden Wand, and a bunch of others you’ve never heard of. Go here. For a taste, here’s Turner Cody covering Townes. It’s pretty cool….
And for the price of a “like” on facebook, Spin offers a free tribute album: All of Nevermind, covered by bands like The Meatpuppets, Jeff the Brotherhood, Amanda Palmer, more. Here.
This here’s an awesome tune: Sol, Grieves and Budo rapping about how technology has changed the music scene. Download here (direct link) or stream it, if my streamer player loads right. About half the time it fails.

I was thinking about covering a bunch of MIA covers, but I really only like her “Paper Planes” song. And Galang. Both are covered on Cover Me’s cover post of MIA covers. Go here.
And this is supercool: “Craft Singles” by Aleon Craft is the indiehiphopper’s latest FREEep, which costs just your e-mail address here, and includes Matt & Kim, Deerhunter, Tame Impala, and more!
The Postelles have a free album on their website. You have to scroll down a bit to get to it, but it’s got Smiths, Ramones, Wreckless Eric and more. Go here. It’ll cost you an e-mail addy.
