Radiohead - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi






You can find this track on the In Rainbows album from radiohead.  The thing I love most about Radiohead is how percussive they are...always solid grooves with a real catchy sound.  cHill beats!!

A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger by of Montreal on Grooveshark

Akon ft. Keri Hilson - Oh Africa



Oh Africa by Akon on Grooveshark

Probably a song from Akon that you've never heard.  I originally heard this song on a commercial for the world cup hosted in South Africa back in 2010.  Turn the volume up on your pc, mac, home stereo, cell...you'll want to hear the back percussion!

Hey Goldmember - Beyonce




Hey Goldmember by Beyonce Knowles on Grooveshark

Although it's from a movie soundtrack, this song still gets stuck in my head from time to time.  I honestly never get tired of Beyonce's beautiful voice.  This song is full of the poppy 70s sound complete with a back-up horn section.
