Staff Pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....


Cee Lo Green - Lady Killer
(Elektra)



It's been awhile coming, but finally we've decided to make this our pick of the week. The only reason we've been hesitant to do so is because everyone has already said everything about this album. We always want to keep our picks little gems that people might like to discover, not albums that everyone's already in love with. But we can't hold our collective tongues any longer. This Album is SO good. Statements about the production value or catchy tunes are moot because once you listen to "F**k You" it's over. Your hooked. All you want after that is more and more after that. I'm not much of a dancer( but, from time to time, I do like cut a rug) and this is an album that when I play it my hands start clapping and my hips start shaking. Everyone needs an occasion to dance and putting on this album is occasion enough.





I'm dancing right now. Right. Now.

Staff Pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....

The Fresh and Onlys - Play it Strange
(
In The Red)



A little bit country a little bit rock'n'roll. These songs are toe tapping garage rock goodness. It's all the western bits in the song that really help this album stand out. They makes you feel like you're watching the best part of some sort of strange western movie set in New York City. Bringing to mind at the same time The Man With No Name and Radio Birdman TFAO's manage to cover a wide array of music genres with out ever feeling like they're trying.



I mean right?
