Yesterday I watched Kill Your Idols, Scott Crary's documentary on the No Wave music scene of the late 70s-early 80s. Not an especially excellent film qua film, but I enjoyed viewing it because it introduced me to a bunch of music I'd never listened to before. Most interestingly: DNA, Theoretical Girls, and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks.

I found a great site offering free downloads of many of these No Wave albums.

& here are a few other great sites hosting free albums of the experimental sort (not just No Wave - all breeds of craziness):

Punk Not Profit

Roots and Traces

Orexis of Death

Continuo

Zero G Sound

BABE (B) LOGUE

Sickness Abounds
