free music: matador sampler album
Posted by Rick Rey
It's always cool to see music labels moving towards the digital era. Matador Records just released their yearly "Intended Play" sampler album as a free download for the first time. There's some cool stuff on here -- including a few not-yet-released tracks and a live track from The New Pornographers (who I recently mentioned in a different article). Definitely worth the download.
