What are some good examples of a musician's personal website?

I want to help my brother set up a site... I'm interested in examples using free blogging platforms. I'm looking for examples which are quite simple and let you get straight to hearing the music. I would also be interested in innovative or elegant design, with an emphasis on sites for commercial gain.

Maybe that's too precise a description... good band sites?

This probably is not too helpful, but definitely check out what Bandcamp offers (in the realm of commercial gain). Combining that with Wordpress or similar could be #winning.

This is for art song, but the mechanics of this site seem to fit your needs?

upload songs to BandCamp and Soundcloud then you can post them inline on any blog pretty Easily. I use Wordpress.

Neil Peart's website is amazing, though it involves flash. But it's a good source of ideas.
