It seems LaLa.com also allows you to embed full albums so I think something new I might try is just throwing an album onto the site every week and giving it a listen. A decent way to try out new bands. Feel free to comment here on the album or to suggest new groups. Not all albums can be embedded like this so it's a select group that will make The Tryout.

This first group is a side project from one of the members of Secret Machines, who did "Nowhere Again" which was one of my favorite songs from a few years ago. This seems completely different from Secret Machines but it's pretty good. One listen and I decided to pick up the album.
