Some free music goodness to get you through the day.

• Jenny Lewis’ upcoming album Acid Tongue is up, complete and streaming on her Myspace page.
• Discobelle’s newest “Mixin’ it up,” by Mustard Pimps, is pretty awesome.
• So is Pocketknife’s mix for Fairtilizer. More electric guitar, less synth.
• I missed them the first time around, but I came across Takka Takka’s “Everybody say” (direct MP3) while checking out old MFR posts. And now I have another band to check out.
• [Update] Bloc Party is streaming “Talons,” the single from their new album Intimacy, on their Myspace. It kind of sucks. HT: Pitchfork
• I mentioned this a while ago, but TV on the Radio has a few tracks from their upcoming LP Dear Science on their site.

Duke Dumont’s Fabric Live set. A little ravey, but it’s still pretty good. And free.

HT to Discobelle.

1. “The Mixtape About Nothing,” by DC rapper Wale, is outstanding, one of the year’s better releases. Seinfeld-themed, intelligent rap with a drop by Julia Louis-Dreyfuss (Elaine).
2. “Top Ranking,” by Santogold and Diplo, is not at all the “Piracy Funds Terrorism” ripoff a lot of cynics expected–it’s legitimately good, and Diplo’s production rescues some the miscues Santogold made on her full-length.
3. “We Make it Good, Vol. 4,” by XXXChange (of Spank Rock sorta-fame). Isaac Hayes, the Stones, Curtis Mayfield, Peter Gabriel and a lot more make this more than just a summer throwaway, though it is a lot of fun. You can almost hear the beers cracking open.

There are a lot more I haven’t gotten around to listening to yet, but let me know if you have any favorites I missed.
