Mixtape fodder
I just ran across
Tonspion, a German site for free, *legal* good-quality MP3 downloads. It's pretty easy to navigate, even if you don't speak Deutsch, just let redcrescent give you a tour:
There's individual MP3s categorized in sections (electronic, hiphop, world, classics, etc.) in the navigation bar at left. Once inside a section, don't forget to flip the pages ("Seite" in German) to get to the goods, there's plenty of them (the electronic section, for example, has 17 pages). Click on the picture, then look out for the download button (conveniently labeled "mp3 download") to get to the site actually hosting the mp3.
Check "mp3 neu" below the sections bar for the freshest produce.
German label Kitty-Yo is offering a free 10 track compilation, including cover, for download (click "MP3 compilation" on the right part of the screen). Features tracks new and old (Jimi Tenor, To Rococo Rot, Louie Austen...) and mp3 exclusives by Gold Chains & Sue Cie, Rechenzentrum, Rhythm King and her Friends and Taylor Savvy.
Should you want Tonspion to notify you of new arrivals, you can sign up for a weekly email newsletter under, erhm, "mp3 newsletter".
(Please be advised I don't endorse anything except hot hummus, cream cheese and salmon sandwiches for hung-over mornings, I just though you might appreciate.)
