I checked yours out brotha. They're smoking good.

nick41: April 08, 2008 - 09:40 AM PST Chekc out some of my tunes and maybe they could be one of "your" top 5??

Franchise: April 08, 2008 - 09:29 AM PST Another bad ass jam by kwam...The Cure

dex2988: April 03, 2008 - 06:37 PM PST Week 5 of the Top 5...here we go...

1. “Heart Chakra Song” - by vive2groove

2. “Too Soon” - by milkbagbrother

3. “West Side Feeling” - by nosifer

4. “Turks & Caicos” - by kwam

5. “Sound of the Night” - by elg0nz

A special note about this week's top artist: Tanya and I went to a different colleges, but her group did a number of shows at my school in the mid-90's. I have a couple of cassette tapes of those shows and I've listened to them over and over. I bought their CD's too, and I consider them some of my most prized possessions. Her old group was and still is a MAJOR influence in my music, and I'm thrilled to have been able to reconnect with her through qL after 10 years. And after listening to her recent work, it was well worth the wait!

You know the drill: check 'em out, let us know what you think, and let me know who's in YOUR Top 5!

brianbunnell: April 01, 2008 - 09:49 AM PST i'd like to see taylormademusic on the top 5 (that's a great screenname). his tracks are really well done.

Joniah: March 29, 2008 - 05:13 PM PST Yo! Come check out Revolutionary Wordplay and The ALL @ The Good Hurt on Venice blvd in LA. We play @ 10:00pm on April 2nd that is a Wednesday. $10 cover. Hope Everyone and ALL can make it. Take care, Joniah

Don't have the funds to tour, but I've played acoustic sets with my buddy's band Lungbutter at a bar in Pomona. Haven't had a live show in a while though. Next time they ask me to play though I'll let you guys (whoever is in the Pomona or local LA area) know about it. BTW, I also got a thread (consider us even on the hijacking threads Dex :P lol) called Share Your Show. If anyone has footage or a live performance they'd like to share, be it comedy, poetry reading, concert, karaoke night, please stop by and share your show!

brianbunnell: March 21, 2008 - 01:40 AM PST i just wanted to say hi to everybody. i am pretty new here, but i am slowly getting to know who the usual suspects are. i already met dex by accident (wassup, dex). i will be listening...

dex2988: March 20, 2008 - 08:59 PM PST Ok, so far I know that Joniah is touring California right now and Ian has been very active in Georgia. Do any other Top 5 artists (past or present) have upcoming shows we should know about?

Franchise: March 19, 2008 - 11:48 PM PST Dude Dex...you the SHIZZ! It's good that you've got a hectically eclectic taste in music. These artists have such great talent! It sets the bar way up there and I know that one day my sound will be up there as well.

dex2988: March 19, 2008 - 10:53 PM PST New week...New Top 5! 5 new artists again for Week 3. Across the board, we've got a smooth set for you to listen to. Lots of talent out there for sure.

Franchise: March 19, 2008 - 09:13 AM PST I've gots a new song I recorded last night on my page called "Still Alive". Hope it makes it to someone's top 5 someday . It's still rough around the edges. I'm planning on adding some lead guitar, drums, and bass later on.

dex2988: March 11, 2008 - 10:42 PM PST All right lovers and haters, we're on to Week 2 of my Top 5 original songs on QL. Much love to everyone from Week 1, and I want you all to check out Dre & Rowelle's pages because they've added new songs this week.

For Week 2, we've got 5 new artists, and they are definitely on top of their game. Check it out:

1. Easy Easy - Nonsenze

2. Montgomery Green – Matt Fuller

3. Formula – Justina (from the Last One Standing EP)

4. Chase AO – StreetSydePoet (mastering)

5. Elite – Dav (Deftones cover)

Special mention goes out to Dav, because even though he did a cover, this recording is completely badass.
