How To get free music n' shit

Just thought I should make some sort of guide for those unfamiliar to blogs. It's all free, no scam.

All files I upload are in .rar format. To get the music out, download WinRAR (WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 3.80 assuming you're running windows) or 7z (http://www.7-zip.org/).

Open the .rar file using either of these and extract the files (drag and drop is fine) to wherever you want them.

Easy enough.

Enjoy.

Zs: Arms


This is probably one of my favourite albums ever. It's a kind of experimental post-jazz sonic experiment. Structurally, it's unlike anything else I've ever heard. 
The most hypnotic stuff you're ever likely to come across.

Can't recommend enough. GET SOME NOW.

Tracklist:
1. B is For Burning (5:57)
2. Woodworking (3:02)
3. Nobody Wants To Be Had Balk (6:16)
4. Balk (6:23)
5. I Can't Concentrate (10:56)
6. Except When You Don't Because You Won't (6:56)
7. Z is For Zone (9:13)

Roscoe Holcomb: The High Lonesome Sound


It's bluegrass time. This guy is fanastic. This is the sort of "old man sitting on his porch" music, that you can never really find. I'm sure his voice isn't to everyone's tastes, but there's something honest and genuine in his style.
Worth a download for sure.

Tracklist:
1. Moonshiner
2. Old Smokey
3. Little Birdie
4. House in New Orleans
5. Trouble in the Mind
6. The Wandering Boy
7. Hook and Line
8. Married Life Blues
9. Omie Wise
10. Willow Tree
11. Boat's Up The River
12. In the Pines
13. Fox Chase
14. Little Gray Mule
15. I'm a Free Little Bird
16. Little Bessie
17. Motherless Children
18. Darlin' Corey
19. Roll On Buddy
20. A Village Churchyard
21. Walk Around My Bedside

Captain Beefheart: Ice Cream For Crow


The last album Don Van Vliet (Beefheart) made before heading into a successful abstract painter. While I don't think it's quite as good as Trout Mask Replica, it'd be the one I'm more inclined to sit back and listen to. Far less abrasive and far cleaner production.
Next to Trout Mask Replica, it's my favourite.

Tracklist:
1. Ice Cream For Crow
2. The Host, The Ghost, The Most Holy-O
3. Semi-Multicoloured Caucasian
4. Hey Garland, I Dig Your Tweed Coat
5. Evening Bell
6. Cardboard Cutout Sundown
7. The Past Sure is Tense
8. Ink Mathematics
9. The Witch Doctor Life
10. 81 Poop Hatch
11. The Thousandth and Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole
