There’s nothing like downloading free legal music from the internet and you’ve got plenty of options to choose from. But determining which free download portals rock and which aren’t worth the trouble is a time consuming endeavor. Luckily, our friends at Jamtopia have saved us the trouble with their list of five free music sites you’re not using (yet).
Let’s start off the week with a batch of links…

- Cold War Kids played Something Is Not Right With Me on Kimmel

- Farm Aid draws 20,000 to Great Woods for a spectacular evening
- Download a recording of Saturday’s The Feelies show at NYCTaper
- Toby Keith and Willie Nelson sign on for Comedy Central’s A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All on November 23
Finally, the L.A. Times’ profile of Frank Zappa’s widow – Gail, left us a little cold. The article spends only one sentence discussing her unnecessary war with the cover bands and websites that pay tribute to her husband’s career. She also rants against digital downloads because of the compression schemes used. While we agree that Frank would be anti-mp3, there are plenty of terrific lossless formats she should look into using to spread his music.
