I've been listening to this song for a few weeks now and it's proven to be a fine art pop song. Kimbra's voice on the last bit brings in some nice tension. Well done Gotye!

Second song and title track from the Great Lake Swimmer's new album, New Wild Everywhere. From the sounds of the first two songs that have been released, this sounds like it is going to be a really nice listen.

Laura Marling. Who is this woman and where did she come from? Fantastic voice and incredible guitar. Gonna have to keep my eye on her.

All my adult life, people have been asking me if I found Jesus. Well, I finally found him. He's been playing in a British folk rock band and going under the alias of Angus Stone. Now that we know, you can stop asking me. Seriously, stop asking me!

I am not a fan of country music as a rule. As with all rules, there are some exceptions. I do like to hear Dwight Yokum sing about white cadillacs, I love a good fiddle, and I absolutely adore the song Jolene.
I must have more than a dozen versions of the song on my iPad, sung by just as many artists. Dolly really knew what she was doing when she wrote the song.
Today, I bring you a version by the emerging Canadian band named Belle Starr. I came across their version of Jolene by complete accident. I am a huge fan of the band Great Lake Swimmers and fiddle player and singer Miranda Mulholland is a member of both groups. All I can say is that the woman must not have much time off.
Enjoy folks, and have a great Sunday. Here is to breaking the rules.

How can you not like Ingrid? Pretty girl with nerdy glasses and the ability to sing. What more could you ask for? Not a bad way to start your weekend. Sing it Ingrid and break my heart.

The new song from Josh Ritter is pretty good. Kind of reminds me of Ricky Nelson in his Garden Party years.

Saturday mornings are made for getting up early, surfing the internet, drinking tea, and listening to good music. All, while the rest of the house is asleep and I can enjoy the quiet.
This morning, I am in the mood to hear Lucinda Williams & I hope you are in the same mood.

I haven't a clue as to how you pronounce the name of the band Bon Iver. As the official "Last person on earth to have ever listened the band", I hope you will forgive me for previously thinking that Bon Iver was another Justin Bieber like Canadian tweener act.
I will now move to the un-cool kids table for my two weeks of banishment.
After listening to this song, Holocene, I am going to go and troll iTunes for more.

I've been listening to The Civil Wars a lot lately. It was almost a year ago that I took my mother (Sweet MaMa) to go see them at a little club in Athens, Georgia. Standing room only, but we didn't care. They were incredible on stage. The simplicity of John Paul's guitar paired with both of their voices in perfect harmony.
I have to wonder though, if Joy WIlliams could sing if her arms were tied to her side.
