Download a Free MP3 From Each of the 64 Local Bands Playing REVERBfest!
Note: Major props to Nick Feldman for making this project his own. Nice job, Nick.
Don't say we never gave y'all anything! How about a free mp3 from each of the 64 artists and bands playing Seattle Weekly's REVERBfest on Saturday? That's right! Free! What's more, once you download these tracks and toss 'em onto your iPod, you'll be able to click through on each mp3 while you're listening and see when and on which stage the selected band is playing REVERBfest and read a short bio. Further instructions (w/pictures) after the jump, but here's the gist of it:
Note: Details vary by model/settings:
-- Download each batch of mp3s, broken down by stage (some with a couple per stage. sorry)
-- Toss onto your iPod
-- Select the "REVERBfest" genre
-- Now you can browse through every REVERBfest band and listen their mp3, read about 'em, and find out when/where they're playing on Saturday. One you're listening to the track, just keep clicking through for more set time and bio.
Of, if you wanna break it down even further ... the "album" associated with each band's MP3 is the venue they're playing at. So, if you just want to go in and search by album -- "REVERB: Tractor Tavern" -- and you'll see the tracks for all the bands playing The Tractor.
Click venue names to download a zip file full of mp3s of the bands performing at the venue.
-- The Bit (Emeralds, Guns & Rossetti, The Valkyries ...)
-- Hattie's Hat (Ian Moore, Herman Jolly, Sweet Potatoes ...)
-- Conor Byrne's (The Crying Shame, The Rainieros, Hazelwood Motel...)
-- Salmon Bay Eagles Vol. 1, Vol. II (Panda & Angel, Black Wales, Boat ...)
-- The Sunset Vol. 1, Vol. II (Sage, Team Gina, Thee Sgt. Major III ...)
-- The Tractor Vol. 1, Vol. II, Vol. III (Zach Harjo, See Me River, Shim ...)
-- Market Street Athlete Vol. 1, Vol. II (Wizdom, Knox Family, Ripynt ...)
-- Mr. Spot's Chai House Vol. 1, Vol. II (Husbands Love Your Wives, Man Plus, Pufferfish ...)
-- Lock and Keel Vol. I, Vol. II (The Little Penguins, Red Jacket Mine, Trombone Cake ...)
(More details after the jump.)
Like I said earlier, details vary with each model and your iPod's settings, but this is how it works on my iPod, and it should help give ya a start if you're having troubles. Of course, step one is downloading all the zips and adding the mp3s to your iPod. Then ...
After selecting Music on the main menu, click on "Genres"
Select the "REVERBfest" genre.
Now you're looking at all the bands playing REVERBfest. Select one.
Select the band's song.
Listen!!!
Now, click through to the bio and show details.

Jeez, WinZip. WinRaR is the direct ancestor, and it's a hell of a lot faster, and free.

There are still a lot of really fantastic grunge bands around:
Foo fighters
Pearl Jam
Nukeateen
Puddle of Mudd
Lostprophets
Check them out if you haven't heard of them, in my mind grunge is more alive than ever.
