Clinton Got A Blowjob by Eric The Red Schwartz
|
El Gusano says: As the end of an error approaches, it's a good moment to look back on what got America in this mess. Day one of the dubya administration, as far as this worm is concerned, is the day we all heard the name Monika Lewinsky for the first time. Now you can debate that in your civics class, or you can just play "Clinton Got A Blowjob" by Eric "The Red" Schwartz. Our not so mp3 MP3 Jackpot Winner.

Snowblind by +/-

Nina Gnose says: Talk about a contemporary band name. +/- makes some chill indie rock that is so deliciously moody. "Snowblind" simmers with an exquisite tension building chord progression and a softly dismal lyric that turns melancholy into something oddly joyful. Our MP3 Jackpot Winner for today.

Perhaps. I think this trio rides confidently on their own cloud and have the angelic vocals and melodies to prove it. Once again pootietang wins the MP3 Jackpot. Go get'um baby.
