Hot, but never heard

"I've had this CD for maybe 7 or 8 years. My younger brother bought a copy and he gave it to me (I stole it from him). Everyone I have met who has heard this CD loves it. Someone stole the CD a few years ago out of my car but lucky I had it on my computer and now on my iPod. Now a few of the songs are in my Top 25 Most Played List and for good reason. If you find a copy buy it. Used music stores in central VA are the best place to look, but I still kind of doubt you will find one."

The best group you've never heard of...

"A phenomenal blend of jazz, spoken word, and hip-hop, Jazz Poets Society dazzled and titillated minds in a short time. Unfortunately the group is so underground that either you've heard of them or you never will. Personally, it was a good few years before I was able to finally safeguard a copy of their Poets Lounge; a CD so good and rare that you wish you could take over a radio station and play it for all to hear. Or, maybe invest one's own funds to get it widely distributed and promoted like it should have been originally. Alas, those without it will be left to the same 5 songs on the radio and the most sincere sympathy of audibly weary everywhere."
