American Football EP


This is a 3-song EP from arguably the best emo band. And when I say "emo," I don't mean Dashboard or My Chemical Romance or any of those other bands that plague the airwaves complaining about girls. No, American Football was a true emo band, blending incredibly melodic guitar riffs with teen angst, that is perfected so well that you can't help but sympathize and relate to the lyrics.



Jonny Greenwood- Bodysong


This is a solo album from the Radiohead guitarist. It is also a soundtrack for a movie with the same name. The movie is about what it is to be human, so naturally this is a pretty fucked up album. There is no singing, lots of noise, and the best way to describe it would be jazz fusion. Nontheless, it's nice to have on in the background as you go about your business.



John Frusciante- Shadows Collide With People


This is one of the many, many solo records by the Chili Peppers' guitarist. It's fairly different than his work in the Chili Peppers in that it's less polished than their sound. Also, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Flea, and Chad Smith lend a hand for this one so you know you'll love it.



Pink Floyd- Meddle


This is one of the most underrated Pink Floyd albums. It's one of the first albums with David Gilmour and it marks the Floyd's move from psychedellic music to art rock. For the most part, it's unlike any other Pink Floyd record until the last song, Echoes, a 17-minute rock out that sounds like it'd fit perfectly on the Dark Side of the Moon. This is a must download for any Pink Floyd fanatic.
