What does MTQ mean?
Here's the deal: every record is rated on its Mix Tape Quotient, or MTQ. This is the number of songs on that album that merit repeat listening (and hence, being mix tape-worthy). For example, a great 3-song 7" would get 3/3 or a hit-and-miss 12-song cd would get 7/12. Sure, it can sometimes be a little more challenging for me to rate a record this way, but I still find it more useful than a simple 1-5 star rating system!

The Online Romance - "Hey Abraham" 7" (Recursive Delete)This is the debut single (not counting a pair of out of print tapes) for this group from Portland, and the sound on the record is about as stark as the sleeve itself. The songs are acoustic-based, with keyboard and drum accompaniment in the first two (as well as frequent backing vocals), and remind me quite a bit of the Shins (especially in the vocals) or Metronome. Even with a full band playing, though, the sound remains pretty spare. All three songs are quite nice, and I hope they'll have more soon! MTQ=3/3
