It's been about a month since the first Locally Produced Digital Music Showcase (LPDMS) aired on WXYC. If you missed it now you can listen to the show show as it aired and download the selected tracks, individually.
Hosted by Mark Katz, the braodcast featured the top 13 tracks as selected by the judges. Finalists were selected anonymously by a panel of WXYC DJs, who selected an hour's worth of music out of over 100 submissions.
Big ups to all of the finalists, and a huge thanks to all of those who submitted work.
Check out the finalists, listen to the show, and download the tracks

Worth listening to. 9 pm.
Catch the Thursday Night Feature at 9pm, for three hours of themed music curated by Nancia O.
On Friday, listen to Brazilian vinyl specialist Joel Stones' new anthology Brazilian Fuzz Guitar Bananas on the Inside Track. Stone's Throw says, "If Psych Funk 101 was the freshman seminar in global-psychedelic grooves, then this album should serve as a master class for those entranced by the funky, heavy psychedelic wonders of the Tropicalia movement and all that it spawned." 9pm.
Fin Fang Foom's performance on the Backyard Barbecue will be postponed and rescheduled.
