Wax Pick: Freebies
Amazon’s got some great freebies up right now. I can never get enough of Leigh Nash’s voice, we’ve got some Brian Eno, Her Space Holiday and The Streets in the mix too. Can’t ask for much better than free. Amazon.com Widgets
Wax Pick: Fall Out Boy – Folie a Deux
Amazon.com Widgets Fall Out Boy’s new album came out today and is $3.99 on Amazon. I’m not the hugest fan of theirs (or the genre), but $3.99 for any chart-topping artist’s album is worth a go; if nothing else to keep your head around what’s in right now. I’ll reserve further judgement until I actually [...]
Wax Pick: Ella Fitzgerald – Ella Wishes You A Merry Christmas
Amazon.com Widgets Get your Christmas Spirit on with a cheap $1.99 special from Amazon. What is it about Christmas time that makes jazz feel like the best kind of music? Ella Fitzgerald – Ella Wishes You A Merry Christmas
Wax Pick: The Envy Corps – Dwell
Amazon.com Widgets This is one of the most underrated and neglected albums of the year. The Envy Corps have an original sound, great songs, and a solid album all the way around. I’m boggled as to why they’re not way more known than they are. It’s not on sale, but it’s well worth the money. [...]
Wax Pick: Bloc Party – Intimacy
Amazon.com Widgets Bloc Party’s latest album Intimacy is on sale for $5 at Amazon right now. While I’m not normally a huge fan of theirs, there’s some cool production and vibe on a few of the tracks like Mercury.

Wax Pick: American Football – Self Titled

You’d be pretty hard pressed to find a band that sounds anything like American Football, other than singer Mike Kinsella’s new band Owen. No special price on this album, but it’s got some great lyrics and guitars, so give it a go. It [...]
Wax Pick: Juno – Music From The Motion Picture
<A HREF=”http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fwaxwires-20%2F8014%2F629816d3-2a74-427c-8c76-a607bd603b4b&Operation=NoScript” mce_HREF=”http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fwaxwires-20%2F8014%2F629816d3-2a74-427c-8c76-a607bd603b4b&Operation=NoScript”>Amazon.com Widgets</A> The Juno Soundtrack is $3.99 on Amazon right now. This album did remarkably well for a soundtrack, beating out Alicia Keys to become the first number one selling soundtrack since Dreamgirls a year prior.
Wax Pick: Common – Universal Mind Control
Amazon.com Widgets You can snag Common’s brand new album on Amazon right now for just $3.99. It’s got some fun and bouncy tracks on it. Lyrically, I’ve always liked Common for his social commentary more than the songs about girls and clubbing (which this album has far too much of the latter, so give yourself [...]
Wax Pick: Stars – Set Yourself on Fire
Amazon.com Widgets Here’s another solid album you could pick up for not a lot of scratch. Indie rock band Stars has gotten some good critical acclaim as of late. Sometimes I find albums that I’m not necessarily blown away by, but when they’re on sale for $1.99, it’s tough not to pick it up even [...]
