NPR: Live Concerts

NPR's music division is excellent. This is probably painfully obvious and unnecessary to say to anyone who listens to/reads NPR regularly. Between their "All Songs Considered," various in-studio performances, and excellent profiles on artists from all genres of music, you could spend days sifting through well-written, well-researched content and still have some left over. One of my favorite sections of their site contains live concerts that you can stream from the website. Usually, the bands have come through Washington, D.C. on tour and NPR is there to record. This is great because although we all want to get out to shows, sometimes it's impossible (and sometimes the artist doesn't tour in your city). Here are some of the recent additions to their concert series:

Dan Deacon (this one even has a time-lapsed video of the concert!)

Animal Collective

White Rabbits (they might be in every post today)

For even MORE live concerts, you have to subscribe to the "NPR: Live Concerts from All Songs Considered" podcast on iTunes. They've got a 100 concerts up there, some with video and some without. It's a veritable gluttony of riches, and you can almost surely find at least a couple of bands you'd like to hear live.
