This one comes from one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a long time. Once is the movie, The Frames is the band and Falling Slowly is this video. Enjoy.

Feist :: 1234

Feist's The Reminder may be at the top of my 2007 cds so far. I love it from beginning to end, and it's one of those rare discs (especially today) that's best when listened all together instead of song by song. Check out the pomp and production of the first video "1234".

A Fine Frenzy :: Rangers

A red head at a piano? You know MMB is going to love her. Don't be jealous Tori.

Here are two clips of an artist that I am enjoying a lot right now. He sounds like an old Southern preacher sitting on a porch with his banjo.

Death Cab for Cutie :: Your Heart Is An Empty Room

Just wanted to hear this one again.

Favorite New Song :: Keren Ann :: Liberty

You can hear the new song "Liberty" by Keren Ann on her awesome new website in support of her newly released self-titled cd. "Liberty" will begin playing once you enter the site and it's almost as if you've entered a slow-motion daydream.

All Smiles :: A Moth In A Cloud

This is the new project from Jim Fairchild, the ex-guitarist for the band Grandaddy. "A Moth in the Cloud" is the densest song from All Smiles first release Ten Readings of a Warning.

Gary Jules :: Falling Awake

In the mood for a mellow, midnight hour song. Check out the quiet "Falling Awake" by Gary Jules.

"A Great CD to Eat Pie To" :: Beastie Boys

The Beastie Boys cd The Mix-Up will drop in June. It's an instrumental cd that finds the dynamic trio just getting together "from out behind the computers" to make some music and "see what happens". Their other intrumental cd The In Sound From Way Out is one of my Beastie favorites, so I look forward to hearing yet another reinvention from the boys.
