Swing Shine mix Shanghai Mandopop and French pop, both circa 1940, and blend them. The music is largely European style guitar jazz, but the lyrics are all in Mandarin. mp3 files at 256VBR (no commercially available lossless or CD version exists as of yet).

Tomahawk's first album in 6 years, and their first of their own songs in 10- and lo and behold, it's turns out to be their best. This particular Patton project has never been my favorite- but after this record, they're due for a re-evaluation. Judge for yourself.

I remebered Adam Ant as the swishy Brit who sang "Strip" on the MTV when I was 7 years old or so, and had him stashed away in the dark corner of my brain where I keep all of the other embarrassingly bad music i heard when I was a child. So imagine my surprise when I found out that at least for a few years, he was halfway decent new wave punk rocker. And a bit of a weird one at that: Kings of the Wild Frontier is a mix of surf guitar, Native American war whoops, piratical shanties, and Burundi beat drumming. And at least for just this one album it mostly works.
Lossless ALAC. includes all tracks from UK and US releases and recent reissue bonuses (demos mostly- if you don't want them, just download the first two parts ands skip the third)

This disc of Zorn's, from 2011, is the beginning of his series of "Mystical" works. These tend to be jazz influenced and very accessible, as opposed to the more abstract amorphous stuff in his more formal compositions. Anyway- if you've heard some weird noise from Zorn in the past that put you off, give this a chance. And if you've heard some weird noise from Zorn in the past that turned you on, you might like this anyway. The video above should give you a good idea.

Here, losseless like, are 8 tracks that make up the 7" singles between the Japandroids' first and second albums. Not vinyl rips. Not as good as the 2nd disc proper- but there's some worthwhile stuff here.
