No matter how closely you follow music, you probably know one or two people who pick up on stuff before you do, remind you of releases you missed, or otherwise school you about bands you really should already have heard of before. It's just the nature of the beast.

Regardless, I've uploaded them to imeem, which pays labels enough licensing money that users can upload any MP3 to the site regardless of their copyright status. Once the songs are on the site, you can add them to playlists and embed them on blogs. Without further ado, here's how Craig called 'em in 2007:
