Free MP3 Download: Big Krit - Boobie Miles

Dig this track off Big K.R.I.T.'s new mixtape 4Eva N a Day. As soon as it drops, I will be providing a free download of it in its entirety. Until then, stay purple (because purple is patient).

Free MP3 Download: Exercise #3 by CFCF

 I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this track. It takes itself very seriously, and demands a bit of patience. The cover of the record is excellent, though. I think we can all agree on that. Also, it's free so if you don't like it, no big deal.

Free MP3 Download: Grimes - Genesis

I've been putting off checking out this new tune by Grimes. I'm not exactly sure why, but it's true. However, now that I have listened to it, I have to say it's excellent. Maybe that's why - I don't like feeling like I'll have to like something if I hear it. In any case, here's the new track Genesis from the forthcoming record Visions. Also, everything else she's done. It really is excellent. Airy, ethereal pop music from a young, talented musician. Listen. Enjoy. Download. Right now. Fo' free.

A decent scan of the cover for Relax by Das Racist

Someone has to put a decent scan of this album cover online. I don't know how I feel about this record, but I do know how annoying it is not to have an image of acceptable quality for one's itunes. So, here's one of respectable size. No need to say thank you. I'm already thanking myself.

If you only listen to two rock albums this year...

Make it these two. I'm not going to rate them on a scale from 0.0 to 10.0. I'm just going to say that they are perfect, and you are a fool if you don't give them a chance. To further make my case, here are links to some really cool interviews that Pitchfork has done with Girls and St. Vincent. I have also included a music video from each record. If you don't like the Girls track, check out some of their other stuff anyway. "Vomit" a lot heavier than their music tends to be, and another track is bound to get you hooked if that one doesn't.

Girls: Father, Son, Holy Ghost

St. Vincent: Strange Mercy
