McCrank's Juke - 10 Must Hear Tracks

McCrank's Juke - 10 Must Hear Tracks

Yes, this is somewhat of a new category, and well it could have been the list for March (maybe it should have been), but with mags like Q and Spin putting out their "must download tracks" I figured this was a good a way as any to put McCrank's own download list together. From Erykah Badu and Lil Wayne to the Prince inspired jams of DâM-FunK - this list pulls together a mixture of new talent, new music, and some damn straight cover tunes. Covers from the classic 80's bands like The Cure and Morrissey to Rancid and a solid soul-inspired take from The Big Pink. This list inspires me to be creative and allows me to mellow out from the stress around me. Music inspires! Including all the new tunes, really helps to mix up the classics in a blender. I am really loving the sounds of Phantogram and Sharon Van Etten, new clearly talented artists - who should be opening up SXSW instead of on side stages. We've had enough of the big band sounds from Pearl Jam and the like. (Yes, coming from someone who included Lil Wayne in this mix!). Tell me what you think of the mix? Have you heard these tunes? What's UR favorite?
