each day a new beginning


Miranda Lee Richards is a singer-songwriter who hails from San Francisco. Her soothing vocals are reminiscent of singer-songwriters from an older era. Miranda claims Mazzy Star was an inspiration for her and you can hear tastes of them in her music. Fans of Neko Case will enjoy her stuff, along with anyone who is a sucker for a girl with a guitar.

I said I didn't want to move, I just wanted to survive


just discovered a lovely little track by Robert Francis called Little Girl. After rummaging through the internet, turns out he's a pretty popular guy. Hailing from California, Robert is a singer-songwriter with a little bit of country, and a gorgeous voice to boot. His newest album, One By One, which is on Aeronaut Records, has gotten some pretty great reviews.

One reviewer said: "An incredibly gifted musician, who counts the drums, banjo, bass, piano, mandolin and guitar all as weapons of choice, he focuses more on traversing the minutiae of day-to-day life than on trying to change the world. Heartbreak finds its way into the bulk of the songs, but it's never precious to the point of nausea, which can't be said for most artists his age. As first efforts go, there's not much more you can ask for. Keep an eye on this kid."


Will do, sir.
