As if the no-longer-free Stax music sampler at eMusic wasn't enough, the online music store is offering to subscribers a free, 24-track sampler of bands that will perform at the Pitchfork Music Festival later this month. The track listing reads like a who's who of indie faves: Art Brut, The National, Spoon, Mission of Burma, The Futureheads, Jens Lekman, Aesop Rock, Mr Lif, Tapes 'N Tapes, Destroyer and others.

Among the 24 tracks are two songs tagged as "eMusic only." One is Yo La Tengo's "Beanbag Chair," which is currently available for free at the Matador website (download MP3 here). The other is The Mountain Goats' "Woke Up New" from their album Get Lonely, out August 22nd on 4AD.

eMusic currently offers other free or mostly-free samplers from Mirsa Records, Surfdog Records and Upper Class Recordings.
