Free MP3s at indieworkshop.com

Just stumbled across another site that offers free downloads of various indie MP3s. IndieWorkshop.com seems to be based somewhere in Iowa, which may explain why it's skewed a bit to the Minneapolis music scene. But hey, so much the better for you poor folks stranded in the cultural wastelands of NYC, SF, etc. Here are 2 recommendations, both Mpls bands:

The Plastic Constellations - Davico: These guys are barely out of high school. I have their 1st album from a few years back (when they were still in high school). At the time, they showed a definite Pavement influence. Their new album has been getting a lot of play on Radio K.

Olympic Hopefuls - Holiday: Another Radio K favorite. Cheerful guitar-oriented indie rock.
