the cave singers

i've liked them awhile, but i had the opportunity this weekend to listen to them for nearly 5 hours straight, and now i LOVE them. (i suppose it could've gone another way...glad it went this way.)

great video

Florence + The Machine

i've only heard one song of theirs so far (thanks to my mix-queen angela) but i LOVE it!!

another neil young

just really diggin' him lately. jordan made me a playlist and i love it. love this one:

they are hit and miss for me but this one is a hit:

talking heads

a great video/performance of naive melody.

(dancing with a lamp IS cool)

be aware

i really do appreciate music videos with important messages.
and this is a great song by radiohead.

Watch, Listen, Tell

Watch, Listen, Tell is a discovery I made thanks to Jenny. There are soooooooo many great artists to check out here! I think this kind of site almost (ALMOST) makes me & my blog obsolete! ;)

“The video channel focuses on creating the best looking and sounding videos with up and coming artists and musicians. The idea is to give you, the viewer, an intimate and unique look at new bands. Stripping everything back, getting closer to the musicians. It’s all about the music.”

the black keys

matt gave me the album "brothers" and the first time i listened to it, i didn't really like it. i guess the timing wasn't right, because i am completely obsessed with it now.

Listen to Next Girl and She's Long Gone and watch this video:

the curse

another josh ritter. that new album is worth having, promise.



...she asks, "are you cursed?"

lightning dust

she has such a sweet southern voice... listen to all three songs - it's worth it

Wild Nothing

Thanks goes to Jordan (and subsequently Ryan Adams) for this great find:
