Man alive, 36 free songs: That’s almost too much music to digest in one sitting.
But right now, iTunes is offering just that with two new mixes, each loaded with indie rock favorites and up-and-coming bands.
First up, we have a Lollapalooza sampler. Click here for that.
The sampler includes 14 songs from acts playing the annual Chicago festival, which happens this weekend. The mix includes the Fleet Foxes best song to date, “Mykonos.”
Next up, Nylon magazine is giving away 22 songs, including the synthesized blat of Phoenix’s highly danceable track “1901.”
Click here for the Nylon mix.
(I had a bit of trouble with the Nylon download. If you do too, trying going to iTunes, clicking on Redeem in the Quick Links bar, and entering this code: HFHEXF6N9JMJ.)
