The Motions by Subb
Weasel Popmeister says: Din, leave it to you to find a tasty pop reggae morsel like this in the far corners of the Interweb. Hailing from the frozen northern tundra, Subb has a hit called "The Motions" which does a bit more than go through the motions. Ok, they're not from the tundra, I think they're from Canada. But the rest is true. MP3 Jackpot Winner.

Jon Jon by Bart Davenport
Superfan says: Bart Davenport has been perfecting his own brand of soft rock and mellow RnB through several solo albums, even while performing and recording with Persephones Bees, Honeycut and others. With his latest, Palaces, he focuses his vision and brings it all to light. "Jon Jon" has some great lines - "Tables and chairs are built to last a lifetime, but a song can die of insincerity.." Not to worry in this case ;) This has crept into my most played list over the last few weeks and today it is our Winner on the MP3 Jackpot.

Acid Tongue by Jenny Lewis
Nina Gnose says: Jenny Lewis has been compared to Loretta Lynn, Petula Clark and Neko Case by critics like me. But I think she is in a league of her own. "Acid Tongue" is a reflective ditty that is as sweet as sugar and is a beautifully crafted, Southern-tinged song. You loved Jenny Lewis in Rilo Kiley, and now you'll love her all on her own. MP3 Jackpot Winner!
