Special Others

I've probably told some of you about Special Others. They're a Japanese band with a kind of jazzy, indy rock feel to them. I'm no music critic so I have a harder time than that describing their genre.

Either way, I listen to them a lot, and their music cheers me up when I'm in a bad mood. That's usually a sign of good music. Since telling you to check them out will likely result in you thinking about it for two seconds then deciding it's too much work to find their music (which is hard as balls to find anyway), I've uploaded one of the tracks from their "IDOL" album. The song is called Quinto, it's eight-and-a-half minutes long, and it makes for great driving / chilling out / working music. You can find it here. This link is only good for the duration of March.

If you like this song, you can get more of their music from the iTunes Store, where they have their album "Ben" for sale. It's one of their best CD's, if not the best, and I can't recommend it enough. If you want to check out more of their stuff, get in touch with me and I'll help you find it.

Enjoy.
