New England Popfest Sampler: Download some sweet indie-pop!

New England PopfestWe imaginary girls look for any opportunity to thrust free indie-pop downloads your way, celebrate indie-pop music festivals, and talk about the bands Brown Recluse Sings and Pains of Being Pure at Heart.

Thanks to the folks putting together the New England Popfest for putting together this free 22-song sampler and posting it so we can download it (and the corresponding cover art!) on the web for free.

The Popfest is coming up soon! It's going to be November 9th-11th at The Elevens in Northampton, MA. Is anyone headed that way? Can you send some pictures and reports back so we can live vicariously?

Download the sampler now!
