New Buffalo Plays
Filed Under Album Picks | 6 Comments
New Buffalo helped take my Monday blues away…This Monday was not like most Monday’s as instead of waking up at the crack of dawn to go to work I had to wake up at the crack of dawn and serve Jury Duty…Oh my dear friends this was my first experience and oh how I wish it was my last. No one wanted to be there, I didn’t want to be there but alas all of us were summoned to the courts of hell to serve justice! Thank goodness it is over…Now I can rest assured I won’t get another Jury Summons for at least 12 months but after that I am fair game…Bastards.

Dream About Changing
Filed Under Album Picks | 2 Comments
I just can’t help but tap my foot to this song. Sally Seltmann creates melodic pop that dances right into your heart and brings a little spring to your step with her new album, Heart That’s Pounding. Up until this album she was best known for New Buffalo.

It’s All Okay
Filed Under Album Picks | Leave a Comment
It has been awhile, friends. A long while, even when I was here I was never fully here. I was never really anywhere for awhile. Drifting. Lost at sea…
But I think you have to lose yourself sometimes to remember who you really are and what you want in life. I am happy where I am ending up, who I am turning out to be. I am still learning, I am definitely an apprentice… But I am getting there. At least now I know where I am going.
I have a soft spot for Julia Stone and her brother Angus Stone. Whether it is an album together, or a solo project, I am drawn to their acoustic singer-songwriter folk music. Julia Stone’s new album, By the Horns, is beautiful and poetic with a bonus cover of ‘Bloodbuzz Ohio’ from one of my favorite bands The National. Bonus points. The album is a beautiful dark sophomore effort. I will say that her vocals are not for everyone. And for me I do prefer Julia paired with her brother, duet style, to balance out the soprano girlie voice she has.
Angus Stone is also coming out with a solo album, Broken Brights, which is set to be released next month. You can download ‘Bird on The Buffalo’ from the new album at eMusic or Amazon to give yourself a little taste.

The Phoenix Foundation
Filed Under Music Mix Up | Leave a Comment
This song is something fabulous. The Phoenix Foundation is an indie rock band with a heavy alt-pop influence. These lads hail from Wellington, New Zealand, and their new album Buffalo is getting some well deserved attention.
