Jamal from London writes: You should really mention my favourite label site, Polyvinyl. There you will find tons Real Audio (some of it quite rare) for bands like Braid, Ranier Maria, and Aloha. [ ed. thanks! if you want to share your favorite sites and bands, click here ]

Our newest report from Uitgeest, Netherlands drops tons of mp3 info: both tracks from the newest Beta Band ep, Sequinsizer and To You Alone, can be downloaded at their official site. At www.kitty-yo.de they've got a couple of tracks of weird hiphop from Gonzales. You already mention Epitonic a couple of times, but can I just say that they've also got a wonderful song from Simon Joyner off his Lousy Dance album. Groeten. Joris Gillet.

Tio Feo from Argentina writes: on the KCRW site I found some Kruder and Dorfmeister Liquid Audio. Also, Miguel is the number one music fan of Buenos Aires. [ed. Thanks for that, really]

JV from San Francisco writes: I just posted some rare live richard buckner. six songs, one of which is a pavement cover. Thanks JV! Get these tracks and a lot more on Tiny Telephone.

Anabelle in Santa Monica writes: We have what I think is the world's best radio station. You can listen to KCRW on your computer 24 hours a day, plus get amazing interviews and live performances from Air, Groove Armada, U-ziq, and more. Try exploring the whole site, there's a lot there that I probably haven't even found.

Esther from Mexico writes: If you are looking for rare and unreleased Radiohead mp3s, I know the place...

Zach from Burlingame writes: San Francisco has gone crazy over Yo La Tengo. The two shows scheduled for late March sold out in a day. They added a third, then a fourth, and still the tickets disappeared like it was the Super Bowl. Ed found one ticket. Amy and I weren't as lucky. My brother saw the show in Chicago last weekend and deemed it "elegant but fun..."

JV writes: lots of new tracks up on Tiny Telephone. [ed. No shit! TT offers some of the finest mp3s anywhere, including new digital downloads from Apples In Stereo, East River Pipe, Papas Fritas, Elliott Smith, and more. Get them all on the mp3 singles page.]

Jason from SF writes: Matador Records is offering mp3 downloads from two of their newer artists, Quickspace and Console. Both tracks are worth checking out. [ed. let us know what you're listening to: live, on record or online. Click Here]

Jah Tweeds from New Jersey writes: the kindercore records site is a trove of sound files... like listen to toxic girl in Real Audio, a great song by some dudes that still have to emerge from behind that great big door of norwegian wood, Kings of Convenience. Also of montreal has real audio of the classic you are an airplane. It's nice to bust, and the 'bird who continues...' ep is excellent.

Here's a quick review from reader alex in the UK:
Stereo Total at Blow Up, London. A truly amazing performance! BlowUp usually features bands that are cool in a musically limited, look at our cheekbones kinda way. So nothing prepared the crowd for the landing of Stereo Total's internationalpopUFO - a set of songs I'd only heard that afternoon on CD sounded like long lost classics when delivered with such vim and vigour live. A languid Jeanne Moreau plays 50s twang with Serge G and Chuck Berry's excitable cousins. Really rather marvellous! 10/10!

Andy Barratt writes: I am in Leeds in the north of england. The local music scene has sucked for a very long time since the demise of great indie poppers the Wedding Present. the club scene has drowned under a unprecedented tidal wave of bars that think they are clubs. one tacky dj and a designated area for dancing does not qualify. [ed. we feel you!] however, the one healthy direction music has in Leeds, and the north of england in general, is drum and bass. leeds has 'dope', sheffield 'ny sushi' and manchester 'spellbound', all friday nights... I listen to a diet of freq nasty, luke vibert, ram trilogy and dillinjer. riiinse.

Andy just for you, here are some links: the Wedding Present soundclip page, Massive Drum 'n' Bass Real Audio/Real Video page featuring Dillinja, Fluke, Photek and more. Plus don't miss this dope Luke Vibert page. Mp3s galore... riiight back 'atcha.

Karol from Poland writes: "Everyone here is mad for Beth Orton! I have found one mp3 version of "stolen car" which is favorite track of many people here!" Thanks Karole, here's the link for the rest of you: Beth Orton mp3

DJC from London writes: The Essex Green are quickly becoming one of my favorite groups. Flutes, melody, and pop guitars in the Elefant 6 tradition. USOUNDS couldn't agree more. The perfect intro to the group are these four mp3 tracks. Start with the great 'Mrs. Bean' and fly into indiepop fantasia...
