Confusing but awesome free downloads... Arcade Fire, Matthew Dear, Big Boi, and others!

  • I say confusing, because I can't find any kind of indication on the site whether they're legal downloads or not.  But it all looks so dang official!  And pretty!  Maybe they're just too artsy to bother with silly little things like a "who we are" page, or "these tracks are all made available with the permission of the artist..."  That would probably just be too NORMAL, right?  
Anyway, you can check out more than twenty tracks available in the Chirp Fall 10 compilation, and decide for yourself... and clue me in once you do.  

The listing is as follows:

  • 01 Chirp, You Listen / Byrdhouse
  • 02 Black Hole / Kenseth Thibideau
  • 03 Fog / Nosaj Thing
  • 04 Before Your Birthday Ends / Suckers
  • 05 D.A.N.C.E. (Justice Cover) / Hawa
  • 06 Strt Srns / Wise Blood
  • 07 Bacchus / Galactic
  • 08 Soul Sister / Allen Toussaint
  • 09 Chirp / Byrdhouse
  • 10 Brujeria / Robot Koch
  • 11 Home / Glasser
  • 12 I've Been Trying / DJ Shadow
  • 13 Miles To My House / Lord Of The Isles
  • 14 You Put A Smell On Me / Matthew Dear
  • 15 Do It Again / Galactic
  • 16 Sa Mo Jung / Tokimonsta
  • 17 Rhizomes / Effi Briest
  • 18 False Pretense / Love Is All
  • 19 Big Wave Rider / Rainbow Bridge
  • 20 Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) / Arcade Fire
  • 21 Chirp is Silky Smooth / Byrdhouse
  • 22 Katey vs. Nobby / Galactic
  • 23 Bad Dreams / Lyrics Born
  • 24 At Last / The Do
  • 25 Heart It Races (Architecture In Helsinki cover) / Dr. Dog
  • 26 It's Raining Clouds / Blockhead
  • 27 Be Still (Ft. Janelle Monae) / Big Boi
And if you're not impressed by those folks (um, and WHY aren't you I might ask??), you can check out compilations from as far back as 2005... featuring the likes of Fiona Apple, the DecemberistsPostal Service, Phoenix, early Arcade Fire, and tons of others.  Nifty!
