I've been trying to catch some of the new fall television shows this week, but there are just so many of them, it's impossible. I'm sure that after a couple weeks, I'll be sick of most of them, and will stop watching. For now, however, my brain is bein saturated with ads from Target and Old Navy- Constantly bombarded with the warm-fuzzy images backed by commercial use of new music. One such case is Ingrid Michaelson (who leads off the mixtape this week)- who is the singer/songwriter behind Old Navy's recent spot for their newest sweater line. It caught my ear, and million sof others as well. Michaelson is the #1 unsigned artist on mysapce this week. Another newbie (to me), Adele, got pegged by both Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley in recent weeks. I think her track sounds suspiciously like Sia's Breathe, but it's still a solid track. I'm really diggin' Sean Na Na this week as well- check out their myspace for more. There's all kinds of other great new music on this week's mix, but I'm short on time, so just take my word for it: it's good. Download, listen, comment, have fun!
Fabio Giolito Took an amazingly detailed macro shot of someone's eye, complete with wet eyelashes (crying?), for this week's cover photo, and I've forgotten what search phrase I used to find it, but it's cool.
Another artist I was able to enjoy this weekend was Peter Searcy and his band. Peter claims Louisville, Kentucky as home- just a hop and skip from my hometown in Indiana, and used to front a band called Squirrel Bait in high school. My blog is called Squirrel Food. Coincidence? Maybe. Anyway, Searcy's blend of pop-rock is just the way I like it, with great modlies, energy and soul. Oh, and he plays a cello with nekkid chicks on it too. Sorry, the paintings on the cello are secondary to the sounds he makes on it. Actually, I think singing while playing cello is probably a lot tougher than singing and playing guitar- and he's good at both.
The contraption aboce comes to you from the 80's, courtesy ofNewLaunches.com. Before the iPod, Discman, or even Walkman… there was the Mister Disc portable player for vinyl records! Read more about Mister Disc.
Just a reminder that Office drops thier debut album, A Night At The Ritz, featuring Oh My. Hurry, supplies are limited, and you don't want to miss out on this opportunity to own a bit of pop history!
I saw lots of bands over the weekend, thanks to the Atlantis Music Festival. While I'm playing catch-up in general this week, I'll try to update with some of the acts that impressed me over the weekend. For themost part, I stayed at one venue (Smith's Olde Bar) all weekend, as transfering from one venue to another always results in lost time and opportunitie to hear new music. So, I spent most of the nights drifting between the full main stage performers and the shorter acoustic sets in Smith's Atlanta Room.
One of the advantages of Smith's main stage is that it's large enough to accomodate full groups, and give them room to move. And movement is what makes The Lord Is My Shotgun's Chance Wall so cool. Chance energizes the stage- strutting, leaping, and reaching to the sky with the microphone as if to usher lightning bolts from Zeus direcctly into his veins.
My name is Jamie, and I'm just trying to share my love of great new music. Files are for sampling purposes only, and intended only to promote music. If you are the copyright owner of a sound file and would like me to take it down, let me know and I'll gladly comply.
