Now playing on our profile, hot-off-the-mastering-deck, vintage 2007 tracks -- just-released or about-to-be-released:

"Wait" by East Hundred. From the four-day-old EP Copper Street Performer, soon to be expanded into a major-label LP. Love this band, they were just a pleasure to work with, and the production evolved into a collaboration between the great John McEntire (Tortoise), old friend and young star Devin Greenwood, and our own Jeff Hiatt, who recorded the tracks here. It was damned hard to pick just one.

"Like A Bus" by Cowmuddy. From his long-awaited masterpiece Chinese Democracy, the elusive writer-songsinger finds a transcendent pairing with Adam Davis on the dobro ... I know that's laying it on thick, but this track drops jaws. Anchored by the classic Local Honey rhythm section, who should back more records together (and hopefully will this year).

"Turn And Draw" by Johnny Miles. From his remarkable full-length debut Sign Of The Times, which will be knocking you on your ass in the next couple of months. This particular dustup features Chuck Treece, Chris Kasper and Jim Miades, who recorded it live in our basement with Johnny. That's right, live. Some things just can't be done on a click.

"A To Z-A-P" by Jawnzap7. From his full-length solo debut Rubber Teeth and Wax Lips, due out next month. We first encountered this Burndown favorite as a teenage vegan pranksta, but that was a long time ago. Given his prior body of work, nobody will be surprised by his usual phenomenal skills on the mic, but who was expecting him to arrive so suddenly as a fully formed and very gifted producer?
