Formatting Rules - please try to follow these if submitting a link, though it isn't essential.
- Music is listed in alphabetical order by artist. Artist names are in normal text, music links are bold.
- Links to entire albums are in Gray.
- Artists offering a regular (eg. weekly) free download have their music link highlighted in Dark Orange.
- If the music is free, but with strings attached (you have to enter your e-mail or make an account first), the music link should be bookended by tildes.
- If the music is free but the artist gives you the option to pay for it if you want, it will be bookended by dollar signs.
- Where possible, the artist's name should be a link to their homepage or Wikipedia entry.
- If this sounds too complicated then just throw the link and band name up however you want, and I'll do the rest.
- You can write a description of the song/album/band next to the link as well if you want, but no more than ten words per item in the interests of streamlining.
- If you are submitting a Frequently Updated Source, simply put a bolded link followed by a brief description.

Look into not only their song of the day downloads but also their very large volume of music available through their On Demand tab.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
eight free downloadable songs from The Protomen's two albums, and a free chip-tune cover of another of their songs
http://www.protomen.com/BeardsGoingNowhere/
their ridiculous song, Beards Going Nowhere, for free
http://www.protomen.com/Breaking%20Out/
A free demo of their song, Breaking Out
http://www.protomen.com/songs/fadetophil.mp3
A free, extended mix of their song, Due Vendetta
http://www.childishgambino.blogspot.com/
i think you can preview here but my internet use is limited right now so i cant really check whats on there
http://soundcloud.com/childish-gambino
childish gambino
basically that is the rapper alter ego of donald glover, who you may know as troy from community
some of it is surprisingly decent and its mainly pretty nerdy
um also wanna mention for any fans of lil wayne, theres a new mixtape coming out in a few days
i think its basically what the carter 4 was going to be, but then he decided to make a whole new album when he gets out of jail and just release what he already made for free
which is good because while his other mixtapes have some amazing stuff on them they can be pretty damn inconsistent
From I think a few years ago already, but still damn good.
EDIT: Hey - this offer is still up!
The dude from Abandoned Pools (Tommy Walters) teamed up with a dude named Ross Golan who's also pretty good to make Glacier Hiking, and with Tommy's connections from making the Clone High theme song was able to get a Glacier Hiking song on an episode of The Hills awhile ago.
From the day it aired and still going, you can input your e-mail and get a download link sent to you for:
~ Glacier Hiking - Wish Me Luck ~
His whole album is free right here: http://www.culdesac-album.com/
Recently I picked up the Drink the Sea Part II Mixtape from The Gitch Mob, which someone here recommended. It is good. You have to submit your email address to them and that is all.
~ The Glitch Mob - Drink the Sea Part II: The Mixtape ~
"Sandra has a good solid anti-murderer vibe. My skin felt very secure and sufficiently attached to my body when I met her. Also my organs." HAIL SATAN
Harvey Danger (of Flagpole Sitta fame) has some stuff for free on their site.
The main site with links to their full third album, a collection of b-sides, and the final single they wrote together is here: http://www.harveydanger.com/downloads/ with donation links if you're feeling charitable.
Oh yea
He has a few though
or maybe they are mixtapes whatever
Edit: List updated save for Beasteh's, I'll come back for that one. Don't sweat the formatting for now guys, I'll probably change it around a bit until I settle on something as reader-friendly as possible
Quick question: Do you prefer the links in the list to be direct downloads (i.e. you click on them and the mp3 downloads without you navigating away from the page) or just links to the page where you can get the downloads? The former isn't always possible, depending on how the individual websites are set up, but so far I've included that where I can.
The Slip
The first nine tracks of Ghosts I-IV
The How To Destroy Angels EP
The Social Network Soundtrack Sampler
Also, before Daysleeper sneaks in here
The Kleptones have a number of mashup albums available.
Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
The music is awesome and good and he puts the full source for his albums on the website and err'thang.
Steam: YOU FACE JARAXXUS| Twitch.tv: CainLoveless
His creation was the album Redd Blood Cells. It was a free release on his site as he finished each song after the White Blood Cells album came out, then later as an entire album for a while.
He's since taken the entire album down, with the idea that the P2P community would let it propagate. You can find torrents of it, though I don't know if we can link to those sites still even if it's a free release.
Either way, he still has up one track - his version of
The White Stripes w/ Steven McDonald - Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
It's chiptunes but they also use real guitars and drums, so... 8-bit rock I guess?
plus SHIT YES ANAMANAGUCHI RULES
It's not just Feed the Animals which is free, either. His entire discography is pay-what-you-want on the Illegal Art site
Go to the My Band tab.
They're really good, but it's either you love them or hate them.
Has indie musics for free downloads that often end up being popular musics you have to buys months down the roads.
I guess

Or is "summer 2010" technically over now?
me too
he was going to take a break from any major projects but then David Fincher was all 'hey come do the soundtrack to The Social Network.'
Though I have little hope of it ever coming to fruition, the idea of a Year Zero mini-series that Reznor had considered would be pretty cool.
Well I didn't know if they were gonna be so exact about it
It still feels like summer basically everywhere
hot and windy over here
which was a toonami thing that never got released
its pretty tits
siktransit is also very good and [this album is] very free, favorite tracks are millionaire cat and touchy
Both Toonami albums are baller as fuck
yes
definitely worth subscribing for a mere $3/month
