Kompaktvolk/WSB/NS
For those of you whose mouths water at the sight of a used Pop Ambient 200X CD, you'll be happy to know that Kompakt has opened up their own mp3 store, located right here. Nice things about this: you can download tracks that were previously available only on vinyl, and you can download absolutely everything from their back catalogue (you can also preview tracks before buying them). Bad thing about this: it's obscenely expensive. Worth it for those hard-to-find or previously format-difficult tracks, but overall it's a little pricey.
Second item- William Bowers, of Pitchfork and Magnet fame, has a blog called (what else) Puritan Blister. It's got a lot of (good) mp3s, and, obviously, a lot of Bowers' prose (also good). He's always been, in my opinion, one of the strongest writers on P-fork, stylistically speaking (check out his review featuring the excellent portmanteau 'godka'). If that's not your speed, then check out Nick Sylvester's (who's another great prose stylist) fantastic fake-interview-centric blog, Riff Central (also feat. mp3s). Hilarious.
