RECs of the Week


RECs of the Week

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




THE ONE FOR THE CHILDREN REC

I *love* these guys! And you don't have to have kids (or be one) to love them. But if you do (have kids), it's doubly exciting to download, knowing that you can play this in the car and rock along effortlessly with the kiddles. Right on.

THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER REC

When I write song reviews, I notice I tend to recommend the final song on an album. To me, the final song is just as if not more than important than the first. It is a summary of what you just digested, and afterthought, and postscript, and often leaves a joyful, fulfilled, or bittersweet flavor in our auditory palette. If it's done right, it will even make you a little sad the album is over. If the album is done right, you listened to the whole thing without the atrocious "shuffle" option on your musical device of choice. "Luminosity" wraps up this album well: it embraces and then lets go of the musical motifs and makes you happy you heard it.

THE NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT REC

This song is awesome, I mean awesome-awesome. This is one of those songs you don’t need to hear twice or three times to know you love it; the first time is a charm. This song makes me wanna get up and dance with my wife, and I HATE dancing. For me it is a feel good song, and hell, there is nothing wrong with feeling good. Great song by a great artist.

THE BEFORE THEY CHANGED THE NET REC

Has a touch of that vibe that Radiohead had before they made you go "WTF happened to THEM?".

Stand Up - The Sean Bell Tribute Song


THE OH, RIGHT, EVERYTHING REC

Recently heard this song for the first time and at first could not put my finger on what I liked about it, then realized ... it was everything. Her vocal is sultry and sincere and mixed with the instrumentation, is a song with loads of feeling.

Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet


THE SHORT & SWEET REC

This is one of my favorite songs ever. It is not drawn out to, say, over 5 minutes. Instead, it is just 2 minutes long. But in these 2 minutes are powerful lyrics along with a very interesting melody. The piano solo towards the middle is just so lush, this song is a must hear!

Perfect slow dancing or make out song...even the last two minutes, which move quicker.

http://amiestreet.com/thashelf The ideas are unlimited. Both Born into a family of musicians, singers, and songwriters, these two producers (blood cousins) come together to create a midwest sound strictly for the top of the charts. These two are hungry, talented individuals and are more than ready to earn their respect in the music industry, quietly or by force. But their is no Top Shelf without Breez and vice versa. Their talents compliment each other to form perfection. Breez a guitarist/ artist for over 10 years, Leroy a producer/ artist/ songwriter/ engineer for 8 years, unite with a vow to take the next song where the last song didn't go. Coming from a background that involves Church, Jazz, Funk, R&B, and Rap. Raised in an area where they were surrounded by the have nots that are plagued by violence and crime, their strength is their soul and versatility. In the year 2002, Leroy and Breez began formulating their sound together. Producers first, they spent countless hours developing the style they know call Top Shelf. Coming from a city where there is small market for producers, in 2005, they made their first CD "Da Feel Good Mix". Where they pressed up and sold over 2,000 records, out of the trunk. Along with active family members already in the music industry, Leroy strives to show the world their can be a balance in hip-hop. With songs that will make you reminisce about the past, enjoy the present, and dream about the future, Tha Shelf is and will remain a symbol for Hip-Hop. They posses the potential to be as great as an Outkast, Classic as the Dawg Pound, Longevity like UGK, and as consistent as any of the top producers in the industry. They plan to show the world their roots with the up and coming album Cool-Aid (A Ghetto Story). Like few artist before them, they created a project that intertwines the art of story telling, a since of social awareness, and the right to have fun, all mixed together like 100 flavors.
