Stephen Fretwell :: "Emily"

This is an older song from Stephen Fretwell, however I found myself singing it when I woke up this morning. It’s the title track from his ep Emily. In September, the Manchester UK artist released a full length cd Man on the Roof. You can listen to a few tracks from the new release on his MySpace page. In the meantime, enjoy reminiscing about that someone who may or not be named Emily, but we’ve all got that special someone from a past relationship who haunts us from time to time.

Pela :: "Tenement Teeth"

Lately, I’ve been listening to alot of slow or quiet indie songs, so it was nice to finally hear an upbeat song I felt worthing of the blog. Actually, I’ve liked most everything I’ve listened to by Pela, but this is definitely my favorite driving song in a while. Makes you just want to run everyone over.

The Cribs :: "Men’s Needs"

The first time I heard “Men’s Needs” by The Cribs, I admit…I didn’t necessarily care for it one way or the other. But that repeating guitar riff and the scratchy repetitiveness scream of “Men’s Needs…Men’s Needs” gets in your head and now I find myself screaming along to this song in the car in the sunshine, windows down, unabashed. Nice summer screaming anthem.

Matt Pond PA :: If You Want Blood EP

Matt Pond PA’s new 5-song EP If You Want Blood is now available…and is just as incredible as most everything else they release. Several Arrows Later, their last cd, is still one of the top playlists on my iPod. They are an incredible band; one of my favorite newer bands period.

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″.

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.

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.
