Since my music computer is still out of action and I am unable to produce any new beats, I have had a lot more time to spend listening to music that isn't mine. :)  (There is always an upside, I guess)

Here's what has been catching my atention this week:

Erik L - This Swedish Hip Hop producer has got some really nice beats up on his player at the moment, I would definitely recommend giving them a listen, particularly, "Swedish Suite 2008" and "Clappintheyhands".  Here's the link:

This Will Destroy You - Intsrumenal rock band from Texas.  Some really nice, ambient tracks.  Check out, "A Three Legged Workhorse" and, "Quiet".  If you like Explosions In The Sky, then you will probably like these guys too, and not just because their both from Texas.

Nujabes - If you don't know him already, check him out.  This Japanese producer puts out some of finest jazz-infused Hip Hop beats around.  Often with a really nostalgic (懐かしい) atmosphere and a really relaxed vibe, they are definitely worth a listen:
