Be Set Free

You can listen to Langhorne Slim's new album Be Set Free on Spinner now. This is his fourth full-length album...not counting independent and EP's. I really like what I have heard so far....check out 'I Love You, But Goodbye' and 'Back to the Wild'....really just listen to all of them. I love his style.....the albums keep getting better and better.

Roll Down the Windows

The album to listen to this week is 'Consolors of the Lonely' by The Raconteurs. Let down the windows, turn the sound up to your preferred volume and rock it.......

Check out this blue-grass version of 'Old Enough'...killler.....features Ashley Monroe and the Ricky Skaggs.

Sneak Out With Me

Song of the day is Rose Hill Drive's 'Sneak Out.'

Monsters of Folk

The first official release from Monsters of Folk has finally arrived! The band is comprised of Jim James (MMJ), M. Ward, Conor Oberst & Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes). I think that alone says enough. They toured together back in 2004 and now they will be again! You can sample some of their songs here.

I and Love and You

The Avett Brother's are streaming their new album 'I&Love&You' on NPR before it releases on September 29th. You can listen here.......amazing album. They are also releasing 'chapters' of their new album on their website. Each video focuses on a different song off the album....with their thoughts, as well as fans thoughts.

Break Up

Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson are releasing an album today. It is titled 'Break Up' and the tracks are literally all about breaking up with someone...the lyrics are great. I am a huge Pete Yorn fan and their voices really sound good together. IF you like Pete Yorn, you will defintiely enjoy this. You can listen to the entire album on Spinner here. Check out 'Blackie's Dead' and 'I am the Cosmos' which is a Chris Bell cover. Their single is 'Relator.'

You Want To Listen

Deer Tick is my new favorite band.....and I think they will be for most. There sound is folky...singer-songwriter..etc. I find it to have a southern twang which I like and lead singer John McCauley's voice has a very 'old-feeling' sound with the raspy-ness of Kevn Kinney. They released their second album 'Born on Flag Day' in June of 2009. Their first album 'War Elephant' was released in '07 and re-released in '08. Deer Tick is from Providence, RI and they were the first band featured on Brian Williams new music show on MSNBC, BriTunes. He seems to have pretty good taste in music from what is up so far.....you can watch Deer Tick's interview here. 'Art Isn't Real' and 'Ashamed' are two of my favorite tracks...but I'm loving them all. This sampler has two covers as well..'Beautiful Girls' and 'Still Crazy After All These Years' by Paul Simon...really good.

Mr. Nothing's Got A Lot

I was in the mood to listen to some Nikka Costa today. I absolutely loooove her music and her voice. I made a little sampler of some of her music...enjoy.
