Treasure Fingers was amazing but didn't play for the crowd. Kid Cudi was drunk (I think) but still played some good songs, not enough old stuff and a little bit too pop. Star Eyes...girl gets down! In all an exciting festival.

For this post, I want to feature a few companies that are using free tracks to promote their products.

First up is Converse. Last year, Converse gave away "My Drive Through" featuring N*E*R*D*, Santigold, and Julian Casablancas. This time around, you can download "All Summer" featuring Kid Cudi, Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, and Bethany cosentino of Best Coast. To download the track, go to http://www.converse.com and click the "Download the Track Now" link on the lower half of the page.

Second we have Levi's who are doing their Pioneer Sessions. For the sessions, Levi's have contemporary artists recreating songs from the past. As of this posting there are recreations performed by the following artists, all of which can be downloaded for free at http://www.levispioneersessions.com/:

Nas
The Swell Season
She & Him
Dirty Projectors
Colbie Caillat
The Shins
Bomba estereo
Jason Mraz
Raphael Saadiq
Passion Pit
John Legend & The Roots
The Kills
Ryan Bingham

Lastly, you can still download the Petra Haden song "Let Your Love Flow" from the Toyota Prius commercials here.

Note: As always...some of these links and promotions may be temporary, so do not get mad at me if you wait too late to download the songs and they are not available anymore. Get up on it, and stay on the chase!
