Podbop is a great site that's about a year old now, but has finally reached the critical mass needed to make it a really vaulable little tool.
It's a great example of how the web can democratise music discovery. Enter your city and the site shows you the bands coming to your area and links you to free mp3s to check out. You can even use an RSS feed to automatically download mp3s to you when a band on the system arrives in your area.
The podbop team describe it this way:
"Old way: looking up local concerts on an event site, googling 100 different bands, tracking down an mp3 for each band, then deciding what show you want to go to."
"The podbop way: type in a city, get mp3s, discover a band you like and go see them."
