I’ll admit – this one made me squee a little bit, and I don’t squee easily. I love Direct Current Music. If you haven’t hung out at their blog, you’re probably missing out on a LOT of great music. Every day, they have new music by artists who are fantastic. And the best part is you can often just right click and download songs right from the site. It’s a great blog to explore and I have found tons of great NEW music on there.

So it was awesome to open it up and see this today:

These are from last March, but new to me. They were posted on Play 98.7. I’ve added a couple more to the photo gallery under Concerts.
