    Want some legitimate new tunes? Have a look at SXSW (South by Southwest). It's an annual music festival, and every year they release free tunes by the artists.
    Here's the torrent for this years music:

    And you can get previous years here:

    Be warned, there's a lot of files. This year's collection has over 6GB of MP3s.

    This is a lot of music to sort through, but there's some good tunes hidden in there. What I'm doing is a quick run through where I mark all the songs I definitely don't like, then listen through again more thoroughly and try to rank songs. Be warned, some of the songs are very poorly mixed / mastered.

    Who knows, you might discover a new favorite band.

    Festival site:

    Feel free to list any of your favorites.

    SXSW is awesome... I kinda wish that I had gone this year since it's only 2 hours away, but there's always next year. Thanks for the link!
