has geometry ever sounded this good?

Since Bree is out of town (And to prove that I'm not dead) I thought I'd post a little something worth listening to ... Long story short, these guys from finland have put out some of the coolest music I've heard in a very long time (Not to mention they have some pretty darn good taste in architecture too). And yes, I still buy CD's... because I'm old... and because I like the liner notes almost as much as the music.

chris isaak

I completely forgot how much I enjoy the sweet sounds of Chris Isaak until I saw him in concert last Friday...what a great evening.

big and chunky

Ain't nothin' wrong with lovin' plumpy.

I have been away most of the week in Florida visiting my cute sister, her sweet husband and my darling little niece. Bathtime meant groovin' to Tessa's playlist. My favorite song, Big and Chunky from Madagascar 2.

new spin

I have written about my love for cover songs before. My new favorite is Bridge Over Troubled Water by Quincy Coleman...seriously amazing. You must check out her other songs too.

it's not me, it's you

Is anyone else enjoying Lilly Allen's new album?

all my bells are ringing

I stumbled upon the sweet sounds of Australian music maker, Lenka a few months ago. She recorded a song for the holiday compilation album, Winter Songs called All My Bells Are Ringing. You need to get it as soon as possible, ok? Ok.

Listen to it here.

the wexford carol

The Wexford Carol by Yo-Yo Ma and Alison Krauss from the album Songs of Joy and Peace is a must add to your collection of holiday music. I have listened to it at least a bazillion times...since last night.

Listen to it here.

i xm radio

If you can, but you don't, then do! Sometimes I don't even want to get out of the car.

under the covers

When covers of songs are done well, they can be even sweeter the second or third time around. Here are a few of my favorites. What are yours?



Free Fallin (Live) by John Mayer

Sexual Healing by Ben Harper

How Deep is Your Love by The Bird and The Bee

Last Kiss by Pearl Jam

Wonderwall by Ryan Adams

The Heart of the Matter by India Arie

smooth move

If you want to get me into your pants, something like this might work.

Dockers new commercial features the seriously smooth sounds of Marlena Shaw singing California Soul. Listen to it here.

I don't think I'm quite ready to get into Dockers, but it made me think about it...for a second.

lights

If you do one thing tonight, go here and listen to the tunes of Canadian singer and songwriter, Lights (aka Valerie Poxleitner), then go here and buy it.

I have been listening to her music all day, I just can't get enough.
