Nick Drake - One of these things first (mp3)

It surprised me to learn when searching for information on nick drake, that he has been dead for over 30 years. He had a real original voice, and immaculate instrumentation. He really shines on the track "one of these things first". He melts an acoustic guitar and piano together, and centers
the song off with a lulling vocal melody. The song will dredge up thoughts of lazy days around a fireplace.

Frankie Sparo - See My Film (mp3)

I know most of you have the attention span of a fruit loop, and probably won't read past the word "most". I'll try and keep it entertaining for you ruffians and misanthropists. Frankie Sparo is from Quebec. Normally, that means he cries himself to sleep and bruises easily. In this case, Frankie Sparo is a cool band who's lyrics I can't understand...and then I punched him in the kidney and said "I ordered lemon with my water!"(just keeping it entertaining). If you're looking for a song where the verse is just as catchy as the chorus, you won't find it here. Frankie Sparo lets the instruments and mood do the talking (since he rarely hits more than 3 notes a song). So check it out. Boobies.
