Engage in music snobbery, free of charge

eMusic and Pitchfork have teamed up to provide a free sampler to the teeming masses in promotion of the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival, July 13-15 in Chicago's Union Park.

I have a personal distaste for anyone who's able to stretch what should be a 150 word album review into 2000 words, but free music is free music, and some of it is quite good. Here's the sampler tracklist. Might as well grab them all since they're free, but I've bolded my favorites:

1. Dan Deacon - The Crystal Cat
2. Professor Murder - Free Stress Test
3. Voxtrot - Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives
4. Craig Taborn - Junk Magic
5. Cadence Weapon - Sharks
6. Deerhunter - Heatherwood
7. Menomena - Wet and Rusting
8. William Parker - Purple
9. Beach House - Apple Orchard
10. The Twilight Sad - And She Would Darken the Memory of Youth
11. Grizzly Bear - Deep Sea Diver
12. The Ponys - Let's Kill Ourselves
13. Nomo - Nu Tones
14. Sonic Youth - Kill Yr Idols
15. Lightbox Orchestra - #18 (Roby's)
16. Of Montreal - Suffer For Fashion
