CANDY STATON: One More Hurt<==== BLAST FROM THE PAST (1970)

DR. DRE: The Chronic<==== ALBUM PICK

[heppolo]

Volbeat one is great, I'll feature it in my own daily chart.
Kokoroko's "Adwa" is a really interesting and vibey, especially that bass/guitar interaction between the second and third minute of the track.

[jio]

Kokoroko are really a breath of fresh air without doing anything unique or innovative. It's nice to have instrumental jazz singles getting some (slight) pop attention for a change.
