Awake My Soul

So I'm obsessed with Marcus Mumford's voice.....can't get enough. Give me any band that has a mandolin and a banjo and I'll probably like it, but these guys are special. After you watch this clip you will know why. Mumford and Sons are literally blowing up in the US and their shows are selling out incredibly fast....jump on while you can folks.

Little Bit of Feel Good

I discovered these 'Take Away Shows' from La Blogotheque and now I'm hooked. They have many awesome artist that have contributed and I am going to be posting a lot more of these. I believe it is a french site???...here's the link to other 'Take Away Shows.'

This is Jamie Lidell who I've been listening to a lot of lately....feel good music. He opened for Beck at a show I saw in 2006, but his style has defintely changed somewhat since then...I'm digging it.

Faces

She and Him

Fearless

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning.

And who's the fool who wears the crown?
No Doubt,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.
