Six Pack of the Week - From the Inbox
It has been forever and a day since the last SIx Pack. One might think a re-naming would be in order after such a long absence. To this I can only reply, "Hella No!"
Today's Six Pack features six (6) different artists who have kindly invited us to partake in their musical genius (by sending out an email informing of said genius). I'm all for having great music brought straight to me, so without further ado, six of the greatest from the inbox:
I was instantly enamored when I first heard Microkorg by the Rockwells. The drum intro, the keys entering, then the vocals; like I said, it caught my attention immediately. And then, as if the sweet intro wasn't already enough, the song rocks out to a great close. It's very good, kindly check it out:

I won't lie, my favorite part of Great Northern's Houses is the spooky "oooo"s after the chorus. They are especially well done because they are not in-your-face "oooo"s; they are very subtle and in the backdrop. I rather like this song, and GN certainly knows how to rock it.

The most recent addition to our inbox full of great tracks is from As Tall As Lions. The name of this band kept tugging on the back of my mind like I should know it, but I still am not able to place it exactly. I was quite pleased to hear the track, Circles, though. Upbeat and full of energy, this little gem leaves you wanting more.

"When you see me sittin' by myself / you'll think that I'm waiting for someone else / but I'm wishing for somewhere else / I'm wishing for some where else." That's my favorite part of Postcards. It's a nice little diddy that is very well put together.

The Sun and Earth has good rhythm. It also features an excellent fade-out and build-up right in the middle of the track. It usually makes me think the song really has ended, but then WHAM! build-up right in the face and rock to a glorious finish! You've got to love those tricksy songs.

One fine day not long ago, the Counting Crows sent out an email telling me to go to their website for a free download of Borderline. I, not keeping up on a certain lady's catalog of songs, was soon surprised to find that it was a cover of a song originally by Madonna. So I listened, reserving any judgment for later, and came to find a pretty great song.
