Music Links:

   • The Beautiful Girls - Saw these guys play with State Radio. If you wish

        John Butler and Jack Johnson would have babies, you'll love these guys.

   • John Butler, Loren, and Rob Sawyer - Three talented Australian blokes

         with some real, honest talent, listed in order of popularity.

   • Seth Bernard & Daisy May - Some homegrown soul-lifting Michigan

         roots music.  A real treat to hear live.  And nice folks too.

   • Pico vs Island Trees - A band from North Carolina... I have no idea

         how to explain them beyond that.

   • Bedouin Soundclash - 2/3 white boy reggae, 1/3 true island groove

         reggae.

   • Rachael Davis - A young Michigan native. THE best vocals I've ever

        heard live. She sings mostly her original folkish type songs. I saw her

        with Steppin' In It in Florida this winter... performing 1930's covers.

        (Update: This collaboration is now called "Shout Sister Shout")

   • The Cat Empire - A crazy, jazzy, Aussie band... can't really be explained

        with words... one of my favorites.

   • Of A Revolution setlist archive - Has set lists of just about every O.A.R.

        show ever. It also has live, downloadable recordings of most songs...

        including at least 20 unreleased originals! - www.oarsa.org

   • State Radio - 1/3 of the former Dispatch

   • Braddigan - 1/3 of the former Dispatch

   • Pete Francis - 1/3 of the former Dispatch

   • bt.etree.org - A community for sharing the live concert recordings of

        trade friendly artists. You will need to download a torrent manager...

        I suggest Azureus. This whole process can be very confusing to figure

        out the first time, but once you do its actually pretty easy. There's

        TONS of great music out there.

   • Lefthand Driver - My bro's music... check 'im out on MySpace. He's

        got sound clips!
