[Jerru]

This month's theme could be subtitled "BOOM, crack... BOOM crack."

1. Streifentier - Pompous Crap
"Oh...What The Hell." Epic

2. Sabz30 - Slow Motion
Elegant smooth slow coolness

3. Laura Michel Jarre - Birdman of Alcatraz
Perfectly played - Wonderful melody - Your best yet!

4. nikp2000 - Glacial
Gorgeous guitar work and I dig the bass line

5. Max El Belga - Super Girl
I could actually see Donovan doing this as his comeback song

6. Rockstar_Not - Langsamer, bitte
The dreamy piano works well with the acoustic guitar and the lo-fi drums

7. Beanpole - Slooooow
Hey didn't you do the same song last month?
Great vocals and I like the piano accent riffs later on

8. Elderly Brothers - Goin' Down Slow
I always make sure I save a quarter in my pocket to throw into the
Juke Box to play an Elderly Brothers song at the end of the evening.

9. Wyatt - Top of the Morning
Perfect song as the smoke is going down at the end of the gig

10. Emerald Tablet - Sunday
One of the best vocal performances of the month!

H.M's (Just Missed)
Shrikant, Mrblitz000, Oddbod, Slartibartfast, Folderol, Psy-T/Echo and D.H. Miltz
