Stereo Total have a fantastic website which even has a recipe page - Soup With Schnapps is the latest recipe. There are 13 rare songs to download, with cover art to print to make your own CD. Included is their excellent cover of 'Ex Fan Des Sixties'. Kill Rock Stars has another 4 songs to download here, including 'I am Naked' off their latest, Do The Bambi.
WM Recordings has a heap of interesting albums to download for free. I haven't had a chance to listen to most of them, but I really like this one (Chenard Walcker - Rain).
Pretty Pop, from Japan, make quirky indie pop with super-cutesy vocals. This page has several songs to download, and more can be listened to here. Prettypop.net has a new demo to download, and links to other demos of theirs and other artists to stream.
Of Montreal have a generous number of songs available for download here, including two off their latest album. Be sure to grab their cover of Broadcast's 'Colour Me In'.
