- No fatties. Sorry Adele. - Choose a song, provide a link (no direct downloads, please), and do both of these in a timely manner. - You have to rate, rank, and comment on every song chosen by another member. It doesn't matter how eloquent your reviews are, we won't judge. Just get 'em in! It's a nice exercise. - Have your reviews in by the end of our week. Refusal to do so will result in suspensions and expulsions. - Have fun! This is just a silly thing we do for a few months, no need to take offence, or insult anybody for any reason. Except Giggs. Have at him.

Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
I find myself listening to this album any time I'm unsure of what I want to hear these days. And it always works. The absolute pinnacle of this style of music.

"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal "Oh sure, walk to the sun"- Guybrush
Machinedrum - Come1 Amazing stuff, one of my favourite off Room(s). I'll definitely check out his other stuff sometime. 9/10
Loreena McKennitt - The Mummer's Dance I like this for sure but the lyrics make it sound so tacky. It's like she thought 'hey this music sounds pretty medievalesque so I should write lyrics in that trend' which is not a good approach to lyrics for me personally. Could've been the other way around but I really don't care cause I DONT LIKE EM. That said, still a good song. 7/10
Vàli - Et Ensomt Minne I expected to like this based on the name only because I eat this **** for breakfast. I am not disappointed and it saddens me that I can't diss you this week. Marvelous and also the first artist from this SotW that I'll definitely grab an album from. My only question for you is: WHICH ONE 9.5/10
Kwoon - I Lived on the Moon The vocalist sounds like he's trying to be Jónsi a bit too much for my tastes. But if it's his natural voice I guess he can't help it. That said, this was a pretty great song since I'm a sucker for songs like these. Loved it when the synths came in. 8/10
Beastie Boys - Electrify Can't listen to it/10
Modern Jazz Quartet - Django This was pretty chill but also kind of forgettable. 6.5/10
Freezepop - Doppelganger No thanks, you completely missed it here Cokes! 4/10
Regional problems or an error? The site tells me theres an error, but the popup that well... pops up (with your track list) still plays the song, it just doesnt move the bar.
