April 5th, 2008
(I'm new here. What is a REC?)
THE TELL ME DEAR REC
chuckex Rec'd this on Apr 3, 2008:
Street Cred: 56
Rec's: 9
“GT & the Vow have given this the sort of treatment Elvis gave 'Are you lonesome tonight'. Really sparse, but intimate. There's just one acoustic guitar and voice with the Vow providing backing vocals like a church choir. Love it. ”

Track: Heartbreak On My Palm
(

)
Artist: The August
“Like spinning a roulette wheel on which every number is yours”
THE SOUND OF LUSH REC

Rec's: 19
“This is the song that made me fall in love with Lush. And outside of the Cocteau Twins discography, this is the song that I associate with the 4AD Records sound - ethereal, moving, and guitars that melt into each other and wash the doldrums out of your brain. 100% aural heaven.”
THE WHATEVER WHENEVER REC

“it sounds like it was written in someone's bedroom on a rainy sunday afternoon. but it's about mornings? yeah whatever, it's just a good song.”
THE CITY LIGHTS REC
myoubiwan Rec'd this on Apr 1, 2008:
Street Cred: 611
Rec's: 95
Track: I've Got A Picture Of You Boss
(
$0.54
)
“Splendid and enthralling, this piece keeps the album going at a compelling pace.
Youth Pics constantly surprise and maintain identity in a sound world flooded with ambient mediocrity.
The yelling vocals in I've Got A Picture of You Boss take charge of the mood. This song will take you inside your head late at night, or out into the sky in a bustling city. Highly recommended.”
THE ANY TAKERS? REC

Street Cred: 197
Rec's: 28
“Very fun little acoustic number which eventually sidles into a nice Fat Jon beat. This song is begging to be resampled and have some lyrics dropped on it.”
THE CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD REC
jessica.six Rec'd this on Apr 4, 2008:
Street Cred: 11
Rec's: 1
“The Police meets Ra Ra Riot? I can't put my finger on it. Catchy as hell. Can't get it out my head and that's a good thing. . .”
THE NEW FRONTIERS REC
JayDoubleYou Rec'd this on Mar 31, 2008:
Street Cred: 516
Rec's: 25
“Neil Armstrong had this song (in fact the whole album) in mind when he said: That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind!!

THE BRING IT BACK REC
signalstation Rec'd this on Apr 3, 2008:
Street Cred: 736
Rec's: 39
“Seriously, more hip hop crate diggers should be blowing the dust off some old Lionel Hampton and bringing back the vibes, especially when the results can sound this funky and fun. ”
THE SIMPLY PUT REC
karolgajda Rec'd this on Apr 3, 2008:
Street Cred: 3491
Rec's: 120
