This blog was started on a whim four weeks ago. It looks like it can kind of work, right?
Time to take it a bit more seriously. Back in a couple of weeks with lots more new tracks.
In the meantime, check out all the tracks we posted in the first 3 weeks (lots of free downloads there), and Great Pagans new EP out today.
If you want to be alerted when we're back, follow us on Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter - if you have a track to submit for consideration email downloadoftheday.mail@gmail.com.

Free Download of the Day 3rd October 2012: Rachael Dadd (again...) : )
Monday's free Download of the Day was only available to download for a few hours after what seemed to be a bit of a misunderstanding between Rachael, me and the excellent Broken Sound records. So I'm very pleased to say we have a completely different track from Rachael today - 'Tsubomi (live at the temple)'. It starts very quietly, but turn your speakers up and stick with it; it blossoms like a Sakura in Spring.
You can download 'Tsubomi (live at the temple)' in full, for free, from the Download of the Day Soundcloud. Get it while you can!

This week's 'Download of the Week' is Klad Hest's 'A Bitchin' Tone' - a torn-to-shreds and put-back-together-as-something-else remix of Hysterical Injury's 'Into the Cabin'. [Full disclosure: I am Hysterical Injury's manager - I promise only to post stuff I'm directly involved with very occasionally; but after all I do work with the band because I love what they do].
Downloads of the Week are to buy. If you're enjoying all the free stuff, we encourage you to support musicians by considering purchasing the featured Download of the Week, as well as other work by the artists featured as Download of the Day. Anyway, check it out:

Free Download of the Day 1st October 2012: Rachael Dadd
Update: this went up after a bit of a misunderstanding, so it was only up for a couple of hours. As a result of which, I'm very happy to say we'll have a completely different track from Rachael in the next couple of days. Meanwhile I'll let this post stand with the track streaming only - it's very lovely, give it a listen and check out Rachael's album 'Bite the Mountain' to buy.
Today's free Download of the Day is Rachael Dadd's 'Balloon'.
This track was originally going to be one of the very first ones we were going to post, but Rachael went into labour while we were talking about it nearly two weeks ago! Congratulations to her and her husband Ichi on the birth of baby Shuki Jim!
You can download 'Balloon' in full, for free, from the Download of the Day Soundcloud.

Free Download of the Day 27th September 2012: Monday Machines
Today's free Download of the Day is the second of two I heard at the weekend on the Fresh on the Net listening post - Tom Robinson's showcase website is a great place to find new music when you have time to explore. Today it's Monday Machines' 'Ruined Morning'. Monday Machines appear to be a true embodiment of the Internet Age; the band live in different continents and recorded their CD on Skype!
You can download 'Ruined Mornings' for free from their guitarist Allan Coberly's Soundcloud.
