You will need a torrent client such as uTorrent to download. Please seed (let the file run even after it has finished downloading so others can download too)!

Cut The Crap Playlist July 2009 - available now on torrent sites

More older tracks than usual on this one; great not-new songs by Beck, Teddybears, Ben Folds, Air, Draytones… and many more! New songs by Green Go, Kasabian, Simian Mobile Disco, Apostle of Hustle, Eels, Rural Alberta Advantage… and many more! Leaked songs by Friendly Fires and Arctic Monkeys… and, well, that’s it. But it’ cool to listen to tracks that no one was ever supposed to hear, isn’t it? I hope everyone’s summer (or winter, haha Australia) is still going well. Only 30 tracks on this one, but it took me extra long to compile for some reason, hence being late by a day. Woops. Cheers and enjoy!
