Refinery 29's feeling generous this holiday season. The impossibly hip website's impossibly hip staffers compiled a list of their twenty favorite albums of the year.

What's so generous about that? Well, nothing except for the totally awesome fact that they're sharing one MP3 from each of the twenty albums, including LCD Soundsystem's "Someone Great". Pretty sweet, right?

So, the moral of the story is: if you're looking for some good music, we suggest you head on over to Refinery 29 and download some free tunes.

If Philip Sparks' fall designs look familiar, that's because they are. The 25-year old Canadian courtier started stitching to quench his thirst for a slim, vintage cut. Though inspired by the past, Sparks stays true to today's trend.
