Streaming Albums + SXSW cool

Hey SXSW is over! So hopefully this will be the last time I mention it. But first up some albums streaming on the internet this week:

• NPR has the new MGMT album ‘Congratulations‘ and a live Quasi SXSW concert streaming

• Spinner’s got many albums. Some of note include the new material and a classic album reissue from the departed Elliot Smith. Hear Roman Candle and From a Basement on a Hill and a Jenny Owens Young EP.

And I thought it be interesting to share some bands I’ve heard good things about from SXSW:

• Pop Candy’s top 10 SXSW performances
• Neon Indian
• Collections of Colonies of Bees
• JEFF the Brotherhood
• Tamaryn
• Explode into Colors
