Music: SXSW's Torrent of Free Tunes

From Wired:
Music fans don't have to be in Austin, Texas, to hear hundreds of new songs from the South by Southwest music festival.
South By Southwest Music Festival offers the entire 2005 Showcasing Artist MP3 library (750 songs) in a big 2.6 GB BitTorrent file. You must have BitTorrent installed first.

Ah, I always like to check out bands from Denton. The Jetscreamer track included in that big BitTorrent file is a seven-minute number called Front Porch. It has some crazy guitar riffs and sounds very cool.

Forgot to mention that it took about 10 hours to download the 2.6 GB BitTorrent. It results in two 1.3 GB ZIP files. Now I've got a bunch of music to try out.
