RECs of the Week

(I'm new here. What is a REC?)




THE SWINGIN' EDGAR POE REC

StreetCred: 510
Songs REC'd: 36

Play Button  “The Raven” by Lord Buckley

Latest Price: $0.26
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 ADDICTED 2 U REC

StreetCred: 167
Songs REC'd: 12

Play Button  “You Are a Ghost” by The Sames

in Rock
Latest Price: $0.19
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 FAMILIAR (BUT NOT TOO) REC

StreetCred: 18
Songs REC'd: 3

Play Button  “The Missing Link” by Cortney Tidwell

in Folk
Latest Price: $0.28
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.

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.
