Cool Shit on Archive.org

Friday, July 25, 2008

So I found this wicked site just now that I had never seen or heard of before, which is silly. It's the site for the Internet Archive, which is just a massive collection of open source media.

They have a live internet archive, which is basically a listing of artists and free legal bootlegs of their performances. And it's not all just a bunch of weird bands and musicians I've never heard of... but there are countless of those too. Check it out here, and it's also listed in the side bar of sites demonstrating free music.

Anyways, here's a small list of some of the names I recognize as I go over it the first time:

...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
