Daytrotter announced that it’s changing from a free site to a paid membership site.

It will only cost $2 a month, and you’ll get member benefits like no more ads and live streaming sessions as the bands play.

I think another benefit of membership should be more accurate artwork. Daytrotter’s artwork always manages to make the band members look extremely ugly.

Pete Yorn:

Pete Yorn does not really have strange facial rashes and a lopsided face:

Best Coast:

Beth of Best Coast is not really an angry Native American with blood stains on her cheeks:

Juliette Lewis:

Juliette Lewis doesn’t really look like a frumpy cat-lady:

Rural Alberta Advantage:

The band is not really that plain/ugly-looking:

Holly Miranda:

Holly Miranda is not, and has never been, an obese redhead, as Daytrotter’s image implies:
