Frightened Rabbit is a rock group from Scotland that I’ve been digging for quite some time now. Their album Midnight Organ Fight is a emotional, alcohol-soaked record of folk rock that strikes a cord with me. Check out “Good Arms vs. Bad Arms” for a taste.

One of my favorite singers- not just of soul music, but of all time- is Sam Cooke. There’s something about the simplicity of soul and gospel oldies like this that is soothing and relaxing, and Mr. Cooke was unparalleled in his day.

OK, so this song I have no idea where it came from, what it was supposed to be on, or when it came out. I literally just found it on my hard drive one day and realized it was good. It’s Nas, produced by Kanye, and it just consists of a simple loop crescendo and profound story. I can’t even tell you why I think it’s so dope– it just is. Anyone know where this came from? Clue me in please.
