With all the angst and chaos going on around Jeff's firing perhaps this isn't the best time to post this, but I'm doing it anyways.
Those of you who haven't checked out Jamendo (which I'll assume is everyone reading this) I definitely suggest you try checking it out. Jamendo is a website where you can go to find independent artists and listen to or download their music, entirely free of charge. Of course they encourage you to donate to them if you really enjoy the music you find, but its not strictly necessary. Having spent around twenty minutes on the site I've already found a number of pretty decent guys:
Scoldt - http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/scoldt/
JT Bruce - http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/jtbruce/
Louis Tanguay - http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/louis.tanguay/
Jaugernaut - http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/Jaugernaut/
Of course a critical mass hasn't exactly been reached, but with 6K albums you aren't likely to run out of new things anytime soon. Another place you may want to checkout is Overclocked Remix, they have a ton of videogame music remixes and not in that crap midi quality like vgmusic either.
