Take Away Show - Alex Winston - Uncut Version from Watch Your Steps on Vimeo.

Third Post is a charm

Just in case you didnt see my other two posts about her I really really like Oh Land. She is blowing up at SXSW right now and getting some serious attention and promotion on the web. She just realized an acoustic set accompanied by strings that makes my ears smile




Also if you havent seen the new adidas commercial, you need to. It features a new unreleased Justice song in the background and all sorts of players, skaters, singers, etc.

Best song of the year

I know that, given that we are only 2 months into 2011, that statement may seem a little ridiculous, but after listening to this song tell me that you dont agree. The song is Equestrian by U.S. Royalty and would bathe in it if possible.

Great Summer Song

At first I thought this whole video was going to be a polaroid commercial, but then things got weird... and stayed weird...

My new favorite genre

I have discovered my new favorite genre of music... It is indy electro pop bands that happen to have lead singers that are tall blonde and supermodel-looking . So far I have only found two bands that fall under this new designation but am always looking

The first is as mentioned previously Oh Land

The second is a band named Florrie

LaBlogotheque

I just finished watching Band of Brothers the TV series for the second time (why?.. because I am a better American than you) and although it confirms that the French are useless in war this video proves they have other, musical uses....

click here and be sure to watch in 720


The band is Local Natives, (great new CD btw) if you like you can fast forward the video 30 seconds to when they start playing. The youtube account that shot this is called lablogothque and if you have time on your hands and want to submerge yourself in deep depth of folk you should check out their other vids.

another one of my favs

Mellow Monday

Direct MP3

In case that doesnt work or you want to hear it first
Doug Hoyer - Oh The Wind Will Blow

Oh.... and why not one more
Cities Aviv – Float On

A perfect song for frolicking

This song would only work as a soundtrack to frolicking through a field. any other applications are incorrect and inappropriate.

I Adamantly Adore Adele

Since I am not married or a hipster I have decided to only use my blog for music that I like. New Adele tracks have been leaking in the last few days and they are amazing.


Adele - Someone Like You MP3

Adele - Love song (Cure Cover) MP3

Also amazing is the band Local Natives, enjoy..


Local Natives - Wide eyes MP3

If you like the stuff let me know and I will keep sharing...

Covers for Lovers

One of the many random ways that I love to pointlessly waste my time is to take a song I already like and scour the intertubes and listen to covers of it by random people. I just find it fascinating how someone else's voice and interpretation can completely change a song and in some rare cases become something pretty amazing. Here are a few of the random ones that I have run across.
