Recs is an incredible new section of canofzebras.com in which I ask some of my favorite filmmakers and musicians to recommend 5 films and 5 albums they would like to share with the world. These are not top 5 lists, but rather 5 films and 5 albums that you may have missed out on if not for having them recommended to you here. Recommendations will not always be the obscurest of the obscure, but they're not trying to impress you. What you won't find here are the usual movies and music people push on you.

Please report any broken links to me.

musician

I first heard Julie Sokolow's album, Something About Violins, while working at a college radio station. I've listened to it exhaustively for the past few years and it hasn't gotten the least bit old. In addition to checking out Julie's recommendations, I highly suggest you listen to her album, as well.
