 CSean Moeller's Daytrotter.com is more than just another music blog. Its intimate recording sessions are poised to carry an esteem recalling John Peel's BBC shows. The site's Futureappletree Studio, located in Rock Island, Illinois, has become a popular pit stop for van-weary artists. "We treat them well, with the promise of free pizza and arcade games, so we're able to record the hell out of them," Moeller tells the Pitch. New Daytrotter Sessions are posted each week, and its archive includes appearances from indie acts such as Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Elf Power and Of Montreal, which recently performed a couple of tracks from its upcoming LP, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? Trot on. — Andy Vihstadt
