Are you serious, Lee? Another Hands tune is available for download?? Mere days before several CMJ shows (one with our good blogging friends over at I Guess I’m Floating)??? I could keep going, but that would require way more question marks than I’m comfortable with, so I won’t. But Geoff Halliday and co. are gracing… Continue reading [MP3] Hands: “Warm Night Home”

[MP3] Oh Ye Denver Birds: “I Believe In Love, Kid”
Why did it take me so long to find this song?? Despite parts of the track sounding like Pogo’s “Upular” Pixar remix, Oh Ye Denver Birds’ “I Believe In Love, Kid,” is a shimmering, frenetic pop gem. Male and female vocals play off each other, the rhythm winds in and out, and falsetto harmonies fly.… Continue reading [MP3] Oh Ye Denver Birds: “I Believe In Love, Kid”

[MP3] Tarek Musa: “It’s Alright, Follow”
Tarek Musa is a sound engineer who, luckily for us, also releases his own solo material. I’ve taken a strong liking to “It’s Alright, Follow,” a track off Musa’s latest EP, which grows on me with each listen. It’s a great song to finish the week off right, and hopefully gives me enough mental oomph… Continue reading [MP3] Tarek Musa: “It’s Alright, Follow”

King Arthur
Talk about a band with potential. King Arthur, a five-piece out of Murfreesboro (??) Tennessee, manages to mesh their unbridled enthusiasm and excitement with a listener-friendly tone. The sound should appeal to the right wing and left wing music lovers, if you know what I mean (…you probably don’t, but bear with me). They have… Continue reading King Arthur
