Free Album : Radio Retaliation - Thievery Corporation

My favourite lounge electronica heads Thievery Corporation are back with a new album, Radio Retaliation.
Radio Retaliation

Nothing particularly innovative, just the usual effortless beats they seem to churn out every so often. If you want some polished, easy listening you can’t go far wrong with this.

Free Children’s Cookbook - Real Meals

Part of the governments plans to tackle obesity is a to concentrate more on cooking skills for school children, which will ultimately mean compulsory practical cooking lessons in secondary schools from 2011.
With this in mind they have released a free cookery book aimed at 11-year-olds, which can either be downloaded and printed or hard copies [...]

Who you gonna call?

I love this but mostly from about 3 and a bit minutes in…made me laugh anyway.

Red Ring of Death :(

Following on from his last giveaway, where he made his novel American Gods available to read for free online for a limited period comes this new promotion.
This time it’s the turn of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere, which is the book I voted for last time as my choice of books to give someone who had never [...]
