Great free releases. Post-pop, lo-fi, experimental, etc. etc.

Fantastic collage/ambient label whose releases are mostly free.

A fantastic music blog, with expertly crafted thematic mixes, often centered around certain periods in music. A great source for inspiration and knowledge for the music-obsessive.

Thanks, as always, WFMU. "Here my friends are 100 tracks to burn on 4 discs to play at your next social gathering."

An excellent playlist that subtly funhouse-mirrors each track of "In Rainbows", exploring and expanding on themes, influences, and directions. This is awesome.

Remix album free for download after cease-and-desist drama. It's okay.

An excellent post on Vampire Weekend from Sean at StG. He gets "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" just right. I _love_ this kind of music writing.

"Toneshared is the world's most interesting collection of mobile phone tones made by well known musicians and artists working in the electronic and alternative music scenes." Free, short, sweet. Inclues Caribou, Faux Pas, Califone...

A Japanese musician and composer's free anti-war MP3s.

Most of the Daytrotter sessions are fantastic, but this set of four tracks is absolutely amazing. (Here began my discovery of the genius that is Will Oldham.)

Transcendental at points.
