For the uninitiated, the main purpose of Pick Your Poison is to help get the word out there about artists you might not have heard of by any other means. These free downloads are listed daily and with very little to go by in terms of descriptions, you’re encouraged to make your own choices about what might appeal to you. It doesn’t always work out, but sometimes you’ll discover some new great band. Big collection of songs today, or at least bigger than your average day. My personal recommendations on prime choice downloads come in the form of new songs from Aqueduct, Harper Blynn, Horse Feathers, and Yellowbirds. You’ll also want to hear Passion Pit’s remix of an excellent ARMS track, Rubblebucket’s Beatles cover, and the artist known as Rewards, which is actually Chairlift guitarist Aaron Pfenning.
