Ever since Emily Walker introduced me to MaxNormal.TV, I've played his album to death - I love it - the CHOMMIE toys that Max Normal and Yo-Landi Visser make are awesome too.

2009 has seen Max Normal transform into 'Ninja' and together with Yo-Landi, snor-rap superstar Jack Parow and DJ Hi-Tek become the collective Die Antwoord.

All you need to do to be one of the first to check them out is download the MP3s (.torrent) - a $ampler of their forthcoming rap-rave megamix album $o$.

Track Listing:
01. Doos Dronk (3:40)
02. Enter the Ninja (5:07)
03. Rich Bitch (3:35)
04. Very Fancy (2:55)
05. Wat Pomp? (4:08)
Download the MP3s (mirror 1 | mirror 2)

Update: I seem to be getting lots of traffic to this post right now through Google Images. If the torrent above has no seeds, try ShareBee - one of those sources should work. Die Antwoord are sick; please buy their record when it comes out on Magnetron Music! Also, subscribe to my blog or follow me on twitter! (Updated 3rd Feb 2010)

Update 2: Fok. One year on and Die Antwoord have totally hit it off big time on the Interwebs! They're no longer with Magnetron Music, but with Sony Music, I think. Anyways, get a fre$h new track for free from the masters of zef at dieantwoord.com called 'Jou Ma Se Poes in 'n Fishpaste Jar' (Updated 2nd March 2010)

Matt Dutton of Bring on the Dancing Horses fame is currently pimping a half-hour-long free MP3 download featuring specially selected tracks of a Dancing Horses nature for your consumption and/or listening pleasure.

One of my favourite bands, Tubelord, have posted their EP 'Square' on the asktubelord.com blog for free download.

Around 600 copies of the EP were pressed and Tubelord only play 2 of the tracks in live shows nowadays. "Does that mean they've become Tubelord artefacts?" asks Joseph.

Track Listing:

1. Propeller
2. Ultra-Machine
3. The Death of a Digital Alarm Clock
4. Arm Watches Fingers

You can catch Tubelord at various UK venues from November 2008 through to January 2009; including Nastyfest in Leeds and Sŵn Festival in Cardiff. For more tour dates and other information, hit up their MySpace.

The other week I went to watch Mike TV at Satan's Hollow in Manchester (Last.fm Event). The band that were first up were called 'Bears, Bears' and sounded pretty good. I bought a CD off them.

The CD is pretty D.I.Y. - complete with unique hand-drawn artwork - and the file format was WMA with some auto-launcher Jukebox thing that I didn't quite understand, or want to. But, like the big geek that I am, I ripped the music off into a more palatable format and tagged it all up accordingly. You can download the 10-track album from the following URL:

I'm going to go out there and tell you to share that link with any friends that you'd think would like the music. Post it around. But of course, if you like what you hear, try and get to their shows - or look out for any future material you can buy.
