After winning the Esky award for “Best Free Live-Music Site” only a year after its inception, the only way was up for daytrotter.com. Twice a week, in the middle of hectic touring schedules, some of the biggest indie bands screech into their tiny Futureappletree Studio One, Rock Island, Illinois,to record live and straight to tape. Cold War Kids guitarist Jonnie Russell recently declared the site to be “one of the last bastions of creative bootlegging.” Not only do Daytrotter give us a wealth of collectible live sessions, they also interview today’s best independent artists and then post the results alongside fabulous original illustrations. Kudos indeed.

Don'’t miss “the” Dappled Cities’ session from last week. It’'s a real highlight.
