Want free music? We’ve rounded up the best downloads from across the blogosphere so you can download all in one place, guilt free.
1. I’m with Coco Mix
For those of us who think Conan O’Brien got the shaft, Ian Anderson of One for the Team put together this satisfying mix featuring “Say it Ain’t So,” “Lip Service,” “Backstabber” and more. Awesome.
Download mix via Minneapolis Fucking Rocks
2. The Knife “Colouring of Pigeons”
Just as creepy and cool as their other stuff.
Download track via Stereogum
3. Essex Channel “Skinny Dippin’”
This Chicago band just said “screw it” and are making all of their albums available for free download in 2010. Plus they want to go skinny dipping. Right now.
Download track via Windy City Rock
4. Freeway & Jake One “Know What I Mean”
Producer Jake One and rapper Freeway have both had success in the mainstream, but their home on the indie label Rhymesayers makes perfect sense.

5. High Places “On Giving Up”
“Tonight is going to be the night,” the hook repeats. It’s one of those tracks that’s probably supposed to be sort of a downer, but you could actually use it to hype yourself up.
Download track via MBV Music
6. Radiohead “Reckoner” (Nosaj Thing remix)
Nosaj Thing didn’t pick the easiest band in the world to remix, but this is pretty true to the original while introducing some personal touches.
Download track via Stereogum
7. Bok Bok’s Jan 2010 Mix
The London DJ compiled this mix featuring Egyptrixx, Mosco, Terror Danjah, Kingdom and more. It’s heavy on his own crew, Night Slugs, and you know you’d do the same thing if you were making a mixtape for the world.
Download mix via XLR8R
9. Flight “Feels So Good”
Scratchy, catchy lo-fi and good from the first riff.
Download track via The Fader
10. Music for Our Future Mix
Sure, it’s a shill for a SyFy TV show, but the mix–curated by Pitchfork XLR8R and Create Digital Music–stands on its own. Features King Midas Sound, Tyondai Braxton (of Battles), The Field, Atlas Sound and more.
