I'm digging this band a friend told me about. I think it's groovey and catchy. at the prompting of ndintenfass, i'll tell you i think i like this song because i'm an indie pop whore and because i love the ol' school (Stevie, Bee Gees, Prince). if you like them for different reasons, i'd love to hear why.listen here:http://www.box.net/public/hi4rrvovrh

I'd be curious to hear others' thoughts on how best to promote a band's music, including deciding whether to make free downloads or previews available.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On 8/2/06,
a friend's band, The Sleepers, has been competing in an online competition for a chance to play Lollapalooza and could really use your support.
