| Rec Me A Song, and I'll Rec You One Back
Title is self-explanatory. Just a song. Could be anything. Could be good, could be great, could be amazing. Can be whatever genre you want - something you love or just something you've in the mood for today. I'll listen to as much recs as possible while I'm work, and I'll tell you if any of them slap, and if any of them make me want to check out the rest of the artist's discography. This seems like a good way to kill the end of week office boredom. | | 1 |  | Francis of Delirium

I'm in the middle of jamming this right now but I'll begin on the recs as soon as it's over. | | 2 |  | Oneida

ArsMoriendi's Rec: "$50 Tea"
Slap Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Would I Check Out The Band: Probably, yeah. Not huge on the vocals but I like the group's chaotic energy.
For You: "International Dreambeat" by Adebisi Shank | | 3 |  | Arab Strap
Half-Told Tales
Hawks' Rec: "You You You"
Slap Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Would I Check Out The Band: Hell yeah. I remember trying some song from As Days Get Dark a few years back and not being a big fan, but clearly I didn't give them a fair shot.
For You: "The Leopard and the Lung" by The Joy Formidable | | 4 |  | Gilles Servat
Gilles Servat
Budgie's Rec: "An Alarc'H"
Slap Rating: 3 out of 5
Would I Check Out The Artist: Eh. Maybe, maybe not. I didn't dislike this by any means, just don't know if it's my cup of tea enough to listen to entire albums of it.
For You: "L-Dopa" by Laura Stevenson | | 5 |  | Brazen Abbot
Eye Of The Storm
Jmal00's Rec: "Highway Cindy"

Turn on the Bright Lights
Futures' Rec: "Stella was a diver and she was always down"
Slap Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Would I Check Out The Band: Totally; I've actually heard a few other songs off this album that I'm a fan of, even I'm kind of surprised I've never checked out the whole thing. But I would for sure spin their debut, if not their entire discography, some day.
For You: "The Heavens" by The Chariot | | 8 |  | Mew
And the Glass Handed Kites
Kimm's Rec: "The Zookeeper's Boy"

In Contact
Zac124's Rec: "Dream the Dead"
Slap Rating: 4.25 out of 5
Would I Check Out the Band: For sure; I remember not loving their newest album, but I could afford to give their older work a shot.

Kiss My Super Bowl Ring
ConcubinaryCode's Rec: "Sneaky Devil"

Would I Check Out the Artist: I think I'll pass on this one. Though this song will annoyingly be stuck in my head for a while.
For You: "Skyscraper" by Ottto | |

05.29.26 | kötéltánc by omega https://youtu.be/e459nHv-fwY?is=h_w2g-AVmza3FLhs
also known as walking the rope | ArsMoriendi
05.29.26 | I'd probably like the Adebisi Shank song more with vocals and less bright production
but not bad, like a 3/5? | Jmal00
05.29.26 | Wait the heads are the original creators of this song or is this a cover? | JoyfulPlatypus
05.29.26 | I'm gonna keep it real with you chief - I didn't realize it was a cover to begin with lol but no, Talking Heads aren't the original creators. Looks like credits go to Al Green. | Futures
05.29.26 | interpol- stella was a diver and she was always down
been on an interpol kick, shocked you don’t have them rated at all! | Kimm
05.29.26 | Mew - The Zookeeper's Boy | Jmal00
05.29.26 | The billy bass version is the one I’m familiar with and this sounds very different. | Zac124
05.29.26 | Dream the Dead by Caligula's Horse
| ConcubinaryCode
05.29.26 | The Garden - Sneaky Devil | Hawks
05.29.26 | Gonna jam mine tonight! Will jam the whole album! | LouBreed
05.29.26 | It's not in the database, but Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai, lol. Was torn between this and his/her Du Hast cover, but OK. | JoyfulPlatypus
05.29.26 | Fwiw, I think The Big Roar is a better album Hawks but Wolf's Law is underrated af. | Hawks
05.29.26 | Will report back with thoughts! | arthropod
05.30.26 | This Eaves Wilder song is a banger. Definitely feel like checking their other stuff.
Omega is a good starting point for getting into Hungarian music. Definitely try Gyöngyhajú lány, it's a stone cold classic among European ballads. You might've heard it already if you listen to Scorpions, White Dove is a remake by them. | Futures
05.30.26 | 3.5, very disturbing! | ConcubinaryCode
05.30.26 | Yo, I saw them play that song live! Its not my favorite HtS song but its a quality one. | RogueNine
05.30.26 | Not part of my usual fare, but I love 1967 by Adrian Belew. | Josh D.
05.30.26 | Kayo Dot - "And He Built Him A Boat" | budgie
05.30.26 | i did not expect you to listen to it lol | budgie
05.30.26 | good counter rec, i love cocksure & the big freeze, not sure ive ever heard wheel all the way through |
