Time Child is really neat. Amber has very nice vocals and the instrumentals are sweet

checked it out. it's a nice, relaxing release, especially considering the living room style of recording. my favorite track was "The Pincher and the Sleeper". makes me think of a waltz.

I'm really enjoying Time Child. It's everything I wanted new VersaEmerge to sound like ha.

Loving the music of Second Chance Exit. The vocals are just not for me though.

American Photo Club is amazing. Except I can't get behind those vocals. That effect is too weird.

Everyone check out Patrick Merrill! www.facebook.com/heyitspat

Good selection this week. The singer/songwriter Patrick Merrill is actually pretty cool. Good lyrics, great relaxing sound. I'll definitely be adding him to my playlist for studying.

I hear that Cannonball Kid has an adequately sized weiner. Could just be a rumor though.....

If anyone checks out the Mick Malone track, let me know what you think. Always interested in what people think of this music

Spoken word one? It was awesome.

"Sandford" is so weird and cool.
