Dan's Picks For May 25th

Got a bit of 'nerd-core' this week so enjoy!

(Song of the week!)
Jonathan Coulton - Make You Cry
(Listen) (Download)
Jonathan Coulton is artist who got off to a surprising start; with a baby (babby) he left a job he hated and started a blog called thing a week in which he produced one free song a week for a year. Now he's got enough fans to necessitate a world tour. Most of JoCo's songs are light, airy, and silly, this is one of the few that's isn't, but I think everybody has felt this way once or twice.

Honourable mentions.
mc chris - Older Crowd
(Listen) (Download)
Getting his name/voice out there as 'hesh' on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, mc reached new heights from his song Fette's Vette and tempered that success by putting his first album online completely free. This song is from the newest record, not quite the same style, but equally innovative.

The Last of the Shadow Puppets - In My Room
(Listen) (Download)
A very bond sounding track with an indie/cinematic type feel.

(Play All)

That's it! Have a great memorial day. And state-side it's still sorta the weekend so I didn't miss it WHOOO!

Dude, you're just not having any luck are you? I've already go the two honorable mentions so I haven't tried downloading but your download link for the JoCo track is dead and while the listen link works I can't get it to play...
