Song Of the Week!

I figured it was time to get back to my roots and draw some attention to a Nashville band… so this week’s honor goes to Disaster by Kopecky Family Band. The video I posted is from a in-store performance at Grimey’s.

Sheesh I miss that town. Hope you like it!

Song of the Week!

I can’t get enough of this song right now… Tallest Man On Earth – The Dreamer, which is off his newest EP Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird. This whole album is pretty amazing. And if you haven’t seen TMOE live yet, I highly recommend searching him out. His concert was my favorite of the Fall. Good Times.

Dreams come true, yes they do, in Santa Fe!

Can’t stop singing these songs as I pack for my long weekend in Santa Fe…

So Fall is in full swing here in Texas, finally, and to me that means chilly mornings & chill music. Here’s my current playlist of “fall-ish” tunes:

If you’re only gonna check out a few, make sure to not miss these:
Sea of Bees – Willis, The Acorn – Misplaced, Pepper Rabbit – Older Brother

The Hood Internet

The Hood Internet… Chicago-based duo… Awesome mash-ups… You’ve heard of them right?

OK Good, this post is just to make sure we are all on the same page.

This song = me obsessed. I mean, Radio Dept. & Trey Songz together, please & thank you.

With all the moving and traveling I’ve been doing lately, I haven’t been as on top of the music scene as normal. In fact, I completely missed Lissie’s full-length album release last month… I know, I totally dropped the ball.

I love Lissie. She just exudes this effortless cool, and has one of my most favorite voices of all time. So check out Catching A Tiger and let me know what you think. You might recognize “Everywhere I Go” from a little show called ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.Yeah, she’s legit. Some might say Too Legit.

I’m including my favorite video of hers, unfortunately this ridiculously awesome cover isn’t on the new album. Enjoy!

Lissie – Hello

Got those start of the Fall blues? Here’s a little tune that will make you believe Summer can last all year.

The Nobility Christmas

sokcoconut — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:29:57 +0000

Are you worn out by the same ole Bing Crosby “classic” christmas music, but still wanting some happy holiday tunes? Well buck up buddy, today’s your lucky day.

Nashville band, The Nobility, has released a little EP, I’ve Got A Present For You, with original Christmas jams. And let me just say, it’s real goooood.

So head on over to their bandcamp, give it a listen, or buy it without listening (whatever floats your boat). But while you’re there be sure to check out some of their other stuff… you won’t be disappointed.

AND if you’re around Nashville tomorrow night, be sure to go see them for FREE at Exit In’s “Christmas on the Block”. Good times will be had. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just another Monday… and another Song of the Week.

This week honor goes to Miike Snow’s Burial, mostly because I really love this video… go check out the rest of their album, it’s to die for. Ob-sessed.
