The South by Southwest music festival in Austin always releases lots of MP3s of artists each year, but this year did not put them together in a torrent all in one place. Luckily, Greg Hewgill did. Click here for the link to his torrent.

I love using Last.FM and Pandora to find new music, and this is another great one-off source. If you just want to browse by artist / location / song on the SXSW site, you can do that too. But this is a really awesome collection, with some really great music to be discovered from all over the country and all around the world. You should do yourself a favor and check it out. The torrent is well-seeded and you can start listening to some of the mp3s while you download!

Have a nice weekend, everyone! I will be slaving over midterms, but at least I'll have a nice soundtrack...
