RECs of the Week
April 19th, 2008

(I'm new here. What is a REC?)
THE SWINGIN' EDGAR POE REC
signalstation Rec'd this on Apr 17, 2008:
Street Cred: 736
Rec's: 39
Track: The Raven
(
$0.26
)
Artist: Lord Buckley
“Lord Buckley was one hip cat, an old white guy who performed with the craziest hipster slang you've ever been rapped at with. This track is the perfect intro to his spoken word stuff, a jazzy revision of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven," redubbed "The Bug Bird." Give it a listen, you'll flip your wig.”
THE IF ONLY REC

“nice to listen to while lying on the beach in Hawaii, LOL”
THE ADDICTED 2 U REC

Street Cred: 8372
Rec's: 373
“Amie St has become so addictive because it is possible to discover great bands like the Sames. I think the song would appeal to fans of bands such as the Shins, Modest Mouse, or Wolf Parade. Great indie rock with good musicianship, vocals, and interesting lyrics.”

THE HIT REPEAT REC

Street Cred: 1073
Rec's: 90
“An ingenious rendition of a classic Miles Davis song with outstanding harmonies and solos, I hear something new and cool every time I listen to this.”
THE FAMILIAR (BUT NOT TOO) REC
whatwhat Rec'd this on Apr 15, 2008:
Street Cred: 27
Rec's: 3
“Sugarcubes-era Bjork-meets-early Feist in this song, which is uptempo but not too, panoramic, and rolling. Perfect for a trip in a car or a stroll through the bustle of a city, where you feel surrounded yet alone at the same time.”

Street Cred: 237
Rec's: 17
Track: Song of Silk Road

$0.38

“A haunting, mystical piece evocative of mist covered mountains, winding tracks, and tiny villages hidden away in deep valleys.”
THE STEP 1, STEP 2, STEP 3 REC
/Josh Rec'd this on Apr 15, 2008:
Street Cred: 177
Rec's: 10

(
$0.90

“Cheekbone Hollows...the first song I heard by the Child Ballads, that introduced me to their awesome, unique sound. Buy it, listen to it, then buy the rest of their songs.”
THE NOT JUST A CATCHY NAME REC
