one night of love

just discovered the band Mystery Jets and their new single "Young Love" with Laura Marling, who I just recently posted about. It's a fun little ditty, enjoy.

3 months late

since I (lazily) never got around to making my top 10 CDs of 2007, I can at least let you know what my favorite of 2007 was, right?

big surprise here folks:



But of course Radiohead's In Rainbows took the cake, easily. I've been a fan of Radiohead for years, but I must say that this is up there with OK Computer (yup, I said it Radiohead elitists). I probably listened to ONLY this CD for the month's of November and December. Yes, it's that good.

So if you are one of the few people who hasn't given it a listen, please do. There are some masterpieces on there.

My favorite tracks:

Nude

All I Need

Reckoner

hello my love, it's good to see you

Nizlopi has been a favorite of mine for some time now. This folk hip-hop duo from the UK put out some beautiful and unique songs on their first CD entitled Half These Songs Are About You. Their new album, Make It Happen, is set to be released on March 31st and I cannot wait. "Start Beginning" has been named the first single and of course it shows their fun songwriting abilities. Can't wait for this release in '08.


Start Beginning

yea I'll shine for you, that's what I'll do

Bell X1 is an Irish band who has been around for some time, and sadly, I'm just joining the fan wagon. They have seen more success overseas, but they are trying to break into the US market even more this year. While their album Flock was released in Europe in 2006, it is just now coming to the states and was released February 19th. I'm glad I finally caught on to the hype of this band. After listening to Flock, it's time to get all their CD's. I can't get enough of Paul Noonan's voice. Beautiful.

the ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Laura Marling is another young fresh singer-songwriter from the UK. The 17 year old has a beautiful voice, reminiscent of a softer Fiona Apple. Her new album entitled Alas I Cannot Swim showcases her soft and sweet vocals along with some clever lyrics. It's amazing such a young artist has the ability to craft such mature music. Look out for this one.

Tap At My Window

New Romantic


and her quirky video for "Ghosts," the first single from the album.
