Yes, it's back.
GoodBooks' new angle on the whole post-punk thing has already impressed me a lot in the past. And now they give their new single away for free! "Turn It Back" is available here and while not quite as instant or great as their best songs is certainly worth a listen.
Kazakstan are not, of course, from Kazakstan but from Sweden. Their website has a couple of free downloads from their album; "Backseat Driver" starts out regular enough charming/chiming indie but builds a particularly fine momentum towards its raucous horn-driven conclusion.
The Sky Drops offer up gorgeous shoegaze pop downloads on their Myspace, with "Hang On" the pick of the bunch. Oh, that feedback! One of them apparently used to be in Smashing Orange, in case that means anything more to you than me.
And for your traditional final covers, Music Is Art provides a huge selection of attempts at Radiohead songs. Includes John Mayer's bafflingly good version of "Kid A" and The Darkness' spectacular assault on "Street Spirit", which was the first thing I ever heard by them and sounds no less enjoyably stupid now, whatever their sins since.

Okay, but as far as the Darkness' sins go, you're not talking about "Girlfriend" right? Darkness trying to be Sparks = awesome.
I think that that one did so badly I never even heard it!
