You Get Caught Like....Claw!!!
I love the Internet. One of the best tracks to come out last year - King Honey featuring MF Doom and Kurious "Monday Nite Fluid" - as a free, legal MP3 download!! I might still need the vinyl single though... Thanks to Epitonic.com for hosting the download. Spread the word.

Boards of Canada
Its finally here "Geogaddi" - the new album from Boards of Canada. Let me tell you, its been worth the wait.

But don't take my word for it, I have collected a couple of reviews:
Pitchfork Media - 8.6 out of 10
Paul Boutin - writer for Wired News, etc.
