RECs of the Week

November 10th, 2007

We love getting your RECs. From the insightful, to the hilarious, to the unexpected and truly bizarre, they keep Amie Street alive and provide invaluable commentary to artists and fellow users.

Here's a selection of some of our favorites this week. Enjoy, and keep 'em coming!


THE DESCRIPTIVE REC

rocknroller

Play Button Gravity by Four White Walls

"A dirty, grungy, flowing indie song with a nice sound. Drums that keep your attention mixed with vocals that go from subtle in the verse to a louder more rocking chorus. Warm guitars and a driving bassline." [rec by rocknroller]


THE HYPOTHETICAL REC

Play Button Eta Lubov Ubiet Menya (This Love Will Kill Me) by Shtrih-Kot

"if manu chao had grown up on a diet of scary soviet fairy tales and cartoons then he would sound something like this, lot of little different sounds mixing it up" [rec by sable6]


THE IMPERATIVE REC

Champkat

Play Button Fallen Aliens by Hans Eberbach

"Great, Great, Great sounding band. Smart lyrics, great music and fantastic vocals. A must to check out. Don't wait. Go NOW." [rec by Champkat]



THE SCENE-SETTING REC

Shinonome

Play Button Bay Air Dub by Shortwave Dahlia

"You're in a convertible or you're riding your bike, along the shore, the twilight air is sweet, the breeze is smooth, the sky looks like it was painted by an impressionist brush, you're light, you're calm, you're dreamy, the life is beautiful in such a moment? This is your soundtrack. It's a pity it lasts only 8:08, a "club mix" is hereby officially requested." [rec by Shinonome]


THE CREATIVE ADJECTIVES REC

AND FINALLY, THE GIDDYUP! REC

Elias

Play Button Hang Me Up To Dry by Cold War Kids

"I first heard this song in Treetops's car, and I was like "Is this track on Amie Street yet?" And he was like "No way!" Well here it is, and it's peppy and catchy and it has a great hook. Giddyup!" [rec by Elias]
