Hey y’all! Sorry ’bout the wee hiatus, I was off on a small holiday with my daughter, last weekend, and well… that’s it!

As is customary when I do not post for a few days, I try to come back with music you can keep legally and for free!

Well, I found a few great things for ya!

First, if you remember, a coupla days ago I told you about The Mungolian Jet Set releasing an excellent double compilation of their work. Well, turns out they are giving out one of the tracks on said compilation, and it happens to be the best one of the lot!

As you can see, it is offered by RCRD*LBL, “a network of ad supported online record labels and blogs offering completely free music and multimedia content from emerging and established artists.”

There’s tons of good stuff and there’s a newsletter you can subscribe to that will send a free track to your inbox on a daily basis!

Today’s free track, for instance, made me discover the excellent Memory Tapes.

Bicycle (Horrors Cosmic Dub) – Memory Tapes

I’ve also mentionned FACT Magazine before, they also give out free stuff regularly, and latest on the list is British MC Ms. Dynamite.

Never heard of her? Check out the video for her debut hit from a coupla years back, Dy-Na-Mi-Tee

Great stuff: AMAZING real-time recreation of the Apollo 11 mission, you can even follow the astronauts’ conversations via Twitter!

We Choose the Moon: Pre-launch.

A Recipe from Coup de pouce’s great book (and I mean this! Not one recipe I’ve tried so far isn’t totally delicious) BBQ et cuisine d’été:

Bavette de cheval marinée au balsamique et champignons (Balsamic marinated sirloin undercut with wild mushrooms) – Click on the image to link to the recipe.

I’m going to use horse meat rather than beef because it was today’s special at my butcher’s and because I usually prefer it to beef: better tasting and healthier, too.

I will also use dried wild mushrooms instead of shitakes and regular shrooms cuz I bought some on my last trip in the countryside for local products and I’m anxious to taste’em!
