death cab for cutie BitTorrentDeath Cab for Cutie uploaded an exclusive electronic press kit (video) that provides an insightful look into the personalities of the band members and the creation of their latest album “Plans.”

More Indie torrents are uploaded by Subpop Records. Subpop’s torrent list includes mp3’s and videos from bands like Fruit Bats, The Postal Service, Iron and Wine, and The Shins.

Unfortunately most of these torrents are barely or not seeded (edit: it’s better now). It seems like BitTorrent.com has not implemented web-seeding yet for their featured content. I assume they will add this functionality in the near future, why else would they need a 600-square- foot server cage, of roughly 28 racks.

And for all the digg fans out there. The latest episodes of diggnation are also available at BitTorrent.com.

If you don't like torrents try MP3 Fiesta. They hold nearly 67,000 albums from nearly 17,000 artists. Prices are around the $0.10 mark for single tracks with full albums coming in at roughly $1.00. Tracks are available from 192kbps and they take major credit cards and PayPal

check out the site now at http://www.bittorrent.com. there’s more fresh and free content on there. today, they just posted video of Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy interviewing Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes as well as other goodies from Spoon, etc. Also, if you dig around, you’ll find a high-definition short from Steven Soderbergh called “Building No. 7.”
