cowpies and roadkill are excluded from this offer
baby peacocks are people too

Band Web sites generally disappoint me. For example, DAT Politics' Web site is not only unhelpful, but also annoying. Other bands never seem to update their Web sites with current live dates. However, I just learned of Canadian band The Unicorns, and, not only is their Web site amusing, it really makes me want to go out and get their record. Although The Unicorns are regrettably using Flash, they do have some good band Website practices. Every band should include at least a few cuts on their Web site, some whimsical stuff that reflects the band's personality, and, most importantly, tour dates, so I know when I can see them.

Last I looked, Charlie Hunter's site included three whole albums of otherwise unreleased material for download. He even provides cover art if you want to burn them as discs.

I'm sure it helps if your medium is jazz and every performance is a unique and potentially download-worthy item, but still. He's an example I wish others would follow.
