Shadow Banquet

There’s only 365 days in the year, which makes it hard to keep up on the millions of mp3s floating around the aethernet. It isn’t possible to listen to everything. Finding good musical resources is critical, lest you scuff Soulja Boy’s BAPEs while wandering the audio landscape. He’s a hard cat to avoid these days.

To make things a bit easier, I’ve compiled a few selections from the last 362 days that don’t come with their own dance… feel free to create your own, then post it to YouTube, then send us a link. That’s how we do in 2008.

It’s an Electro-Rap-Folk-Indie-Thingy I like to politely call Shadow Banquet. You probably won’t hear it on the radio, unless it’s pumping through your iTrip. Nineteen selections that got constant iTunes love, slowly wilted, then screamed back into the headphones to close out the year.

Maybe you’ll like them too?
