It's being called Musikfest Radio and it's a flash mp3 player (or something like that) on the musikfest.org site featuring clips from arists on the lineup.

It's a nice way to sort through who is playing where and see if they're worth hearing. You even get a nice little photo of the band to look at while you listen and optional bio info on the side.

But, it sort of kills that unknown element of showing up to Musikfest and stumbling across a great band. It should be interesting this year to go into concerts with a pre-conceived notion of what I'm going to hear and see. My guess is that the "radio" won't do some of them justice and some will get more hype than they deserve. So don't rely on it to plan your days out at the Fest. Trust me - winging it can be a lot more fun sometimes.
