(I'm new here. What is a REC?)
THE PLEASURE DISTILLED REC
Squelchy goodness. Drip drops of pure pleasure.
THE CAN'T COMPLAIN REC
“Bonus: Drivin Down The Block (Low End Theory) (Remix)” on The In Crowd by Kidz In The Hall
Latest Price:

Remix is great. Guest spots are dope but the track is not that much different from the original (slammin' beat though so who cares?!)
THE OLD TIME SOUND REC
“Cattle Call (3/24/1962)” on Country Crooners from the Louisiana Hayride by Country Crooners from the...
in Country
Latest Price:
$0.21
THE classic song by Eddy Arnold. This track is a bit on the "fuzzy" sounding side, but then it *is* from 1962! It really evokes the day and age well.
THE SCATMAN REC
“The Laws Have Changed” on Electric Version by The New Pornographers
in Indie Rock
Latest Price:
$0.63
Smart, upbeat rock with intricate lyrics. Love the scat-style vocalizing.
THE AFTERNOON IN THE SQUARE REC
cool song. sounds like something you'd listen to in a leidesplein cafe.
THE NEW HOTNESS REC
you can hear those old school influences, but evolved enough to make it a whole new creature. the lyrics are smart and perfectly paced.
THE GOT IT ALL REC
As Bahamadia put it, Good Rap Music is "banging instrumentals, tight vocals, unique point of view, songwriting exceptional, a little humor, and some lines that'll bless a few, style with some confidence combined with the truth, simple enough for anyone to relate to, could be exposed to any and all age groups, the type of songs with the vibe that'll make you cop the single, and the vinyl, and the tape too, plus the cd, the dvd, the mp3s, and imports from overseas".
THE UNIVERSAL REC
A lullaby is a lullaby no matter the language. If you fondly recall Mary Hopkin's lovely treatment of Donovan on "Post Card" this song and the rest of the music on the album will enchant you. Very pure and lovely.
THE WHAT'S COOKIN? REC
Instrumental groove monsters - these guys flat cook! It's all good,
this song a bit more to the jazz.
THE TOP 5 REC
I like this song, which means timeglass, but I also want to point out my favorite song
#5 'Astarsaga ur fjöllunum =
"love song from the mountains"
cheers to all, who like Icelandic songs!
you can't go wrong with this song!..I would take it to an island if I had only 5 songs to take!
