First, a late night find from Ready Made Magazine's blog: Emily Arin. Lovely minimal summer rain kind of music.
Next, something that I've been playing almost constantly since it was mentioned on Liz Song's blog: Oh Daughter. Oh. My. God. This girl has talent. Beautiful voice, songs, lyrics, composition.
My favorite thing is to go on You Tube safaris. You know, where you click on the link that seems most promising on the right side of the screen after you've listened to the song you came to listen to? Pulled up a couple of gems lately:
1. Trampled by Turtles-Speedgrass awesomeness.
2. The Head and the Heart-Found on Other People's Poetry, though I've heard them before.
3. Jessie J-Her song Pricetag is all over the waves right now, but I think the one on this play list is good to listen to when you're feeling overwhelmed.
4. Mountain man-3 beautiful and very different voices combined in a traditional way to make lovely music.
5. Ma Rainey-The very first version of See See Rider recorded in 1925. Our generation knows this song via Old Crow Medicine Show. The original is fun to listen to, Louis Armstrong is playing with her.
