The Bayesian <----Recommended!!

Whoa. Lots of things stand out with the RIYLs. Really excited to listen.

listening to cross town train-- not bad!

I hope you guys dig Jimi Hendrix's Room!

Checking out Henrietta.

This Posters On Walls Record Comp is all kinds of diverse. Really digging it.

Everyone check out "Passionate Hope Vol. 1: Songs of Worship". There are 75 songs all for free. I recommend it to anyone that is tired of current "Church Music" played on Sunday mornings. There are songs from bands/artists like Cool Hand Luke, My Epic, Devin Shelton (Ex-Emery), Joel Hosler (Ex-Noise Ratchet), Matt Shelton (The Wedding), Preson Phillips, Brave Saint Saturn (Five Iron Frenzy members), Least of These, Ray Torres and the Mercy, and so many more. Check it out!
