Gifts of Summer: Free live music everyday

There's no better way to spend a summer than by watching live music. And with all the summer festivals, the opening of outdoor venues, and the free concerts, there is just no excuse for not going to shows. For my money it just doesn't get better than sitting on the lawn, drinking a Natural Light, while watching the Police try to remember how "Message in a Bottle" goes.

In the spirit of summer shows, CSV will be posting one live mp3 each weekday during the month of June. We will draw songs from live albums, bootlegs, and some we have recorded ourselves. Be sure to check back each day!

We start the month of live gifts off with a happy-go-lucky reminder of Ben Kweller's performance at Lollapalooza 2006. Listen to his opener, "Run."
