RECs of the Week
June 7th, 2008
(I'm new here. What is a REC?)
THE KICKING BACK REC
The island / reggae guitar makes this song. Perfect for a lazy summer afternoon in a hammock, under the shade of a tree. With the condensation from your adult beverage of choice leaving perfect little rings on your shirt as you rest it on your chest in between sips.
THE SWEPT AWAY REC
Hey, some beach party music, courtesy of this zany troupe (or, is it "troop"?). The same group that gave us the best cover version of a Beatles album ever (Let It Be), Laibach lays down the hot riffs that'll have you frugging on the sand. And certainly the best album cover of the year, deer!
THE GOOD COMPANY REC
I used to travel a lot for work and that's when I first got into Merzbow. The cold sandwich airport, the wifeless/no cat hotel room, the small no bookshop town. For the sensory deprived he was like a glorious and noisy shot of feeling into my blanched existence. For vacant staring out a rental car window in a too far away town, there's no better company than Masami.
THE TIME FOR A CHANGE REC
This whole disc is fantastic, but I think maybe this is my favorite song of them all. We have all felt this way at one time or another, and just need a change of scenery. Si te gusta rock en español, te va a gustar este tío. A mi parece una mezcla de Alejandro Sanz, los reyes gitanos, y mana.... que combinación eh?
THE LEARN FROM THE PROS REC
Unburdened by the "required" grunt/sing/grunt formula, DOOMSAYER continue to offer masterclass level studies of classic metal themes! Muzak for Metalheads!!!
THE ALL ABOARD REC
This is simply one of my fave Sooj tunes. You must listen to it to take the journey.
THE WHEN YOU SEE AN OPPORTUNITY, TAKE IT REC
Electro-clash is way sexy. And Tone-Loc was in Blank Check. Rec'd.
THE GET SOME! REC
A great funky version of Bill Withers "Use Me" from one of Amie Street's most under rated bands. Get it!
THE WAIT FOR IT REC
sick remix.. especially towards the second half and on
THE ...OR YOUR MONEY BACK REC
