[madcrow]

Yeah, I just thought people would be interested in knowing legal places to get free MP3s...

I'll update as I find places.

Great source for chiptunes and other retro game machine-inspired music.

video game tunes? sweet. usually the only free music u can find is unsigned bands. i hate wasting my time and bandwidth downloading someone i've never heard of only to find out that there's a reason they're unsigned.

Is Peer2Peer music downloading legal...? I've kinda made myself believe it is, otherwise I'd just be like... the worlds biggest criminal.

i know it's illegal and couldn't care less. the RIAA can lick my sack. i'll keep downloading til i die.

OK, girls, let's have discussion about legal free music download locations in here, and discussion about the RIAA and such in here, OK? Great.

General assorted indie/underground MP3's. Not exactly what most people here listen to, but still, free music.

From Chesney Hawkes' official website, right under "Previously released tracks" (One and Only). Any 80's music amateur will like this song.

I used to have a huge list of great free music, but I can only remember a few right now.

V�rnagar
Pretty good Death Metal, you can download their 2005 full-length and their demo for free here.

Machinae Supremacy
SID Metal for the fucking win. You can get their Jets'n'Guns OST for free here (which is much better than their actual full-length, because the vocalist never says a word on this OST ). Some more here too, but I haven't listened to that yet.

Reviolence
You can get their whole "In Pieces" EP for free here, not too shabby Thrash.

Enjoy, I'll see if I can dig up some more later.

It should be noted that, although I don't listen to them, Machinae Supremacy wins for using OGG like that.
