More free & legal MP3s

--Matador records has some pretty good bands (check out Interpol, Pavement, Stephen Malkmus...)--my personal favorite, however, are The New Pornographers. They currently have 3 MP3s for download. The director for "The Laws Have Changed" video is apparently a fan of Luis Buñuel--the premise of the video is straight out of Simón del desierto. [[edit: director is also TNP's keyboardist, Blaine Thurier]]

--Sub Pop records has plenty of good bands as well (Hot Hot Heat, Postal Service, Sleater-Kinney...) --including The Shins. I recently purchased Oh, Inverted World and was not disappointed--"Girl on the Wing" is my new favorite song--unfortunately not available for download on the website, but they do have "Know Your Onion!" from that album, as well as "So Says I" from the Chutes Too Narrow
