free downloads of 2009 (& where's best to download legally?)
let's do a thread of free stuff you've downloaded and loved this year (ideally legal links but links to the page on an mp3 blog which is in that promotional grey area of not being asked to remove the post)... vaguely related Q, do you now prefer to stream tracks to sample them rather than download them?
a few good sources:

http://www.mbvmusic.com/ (really like this blog!)
where else do you reliably get good free tracks from? which mp3 blogs do you frequent? hoping to get some good new bookmarks and sources of recommendations, especially as i have time to check things out over the break.
also we're hoping to introduce a track of the day style feature on DiS in February
