Shuffled #37: Kickstarted Edition

Every other Wednesday either Matt or Alex C-Y share their love of music in an assortment of ways. Shuffled is a podcast whose format is as varied as their tastes in music, so hopefully you won't ever be bored and everyone can find something to enjoy.

Kickstarter, IndieGogo, and other crowd-funding sites are quickly becoming the new trend in helping bands get their music funded. They may be the start of a future where the people control what they want to hear, or simply a passing trend. Either way, there are plenty of deserving projects out there seeking your help to get off the ground. I happened to spend several hours one night going through every single music campaign on Kickstarter, so I thought I'd share some of the cooler ones with you. Hit the jump to listen, and for links to get in on the funding yourself if you like what you hear.
