Little Bear – Army of Trees EP
Little Bear has a great little release in the form of a 4 track EP entitled “Army of Trees” that is recently collected, recorded and released for all to have. “All to have” as it is a complimentary download! We all like free music, but I think we often push aside free music as “not…

Talons’ – Songs for Babes
So if you are into bedroom folk (hey, mind out of the gutter!) than I have the guy for you. Talons’ is the guy and he is just recording songs about babes…I guess. No seriously, this album from the Bark N Hiss label is a great collection of lo-fi singer songwriter recordings. Moments of charm,…

Oliver Thiessen
Sometimes as hard as you look, you sometimes pass over something in your very own backyard. This is the experience I had with Oliver Thiessen. With the internet, the world is not soo big anymore and the grasp for music goes fully around the globe. That is why I am happy to provide more local…

Friday Discoveries
So this post is going to be easy as it is full of artists that I am not very familiar with. I intend on listening to each one a bit more (of what they have to this point) as each one shows a lot of potential to become regulars on my personal playlists. Come to…

Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin – “Hapless” revisited.
So not just a possible awkwardly-too-long song title for a upcoming Sufjan Stevens opus, Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin is in fact the great moniker for the recordings of Morgan Caris. I thought I would take a moment to revisit this great album from 2006 and provide you with the information on…

Dewer. More please.
Quick post today, sorry folks. So I know little about this Swede and have very little media from him. I am going to take this opportunity to send this over to you my readers…find more Dewer! Or if you know any info on him, post in the comments. I have been listening for a couple…

The Fairer Sex
So notoriously a fan of the male troupador and down on HIS luck singer songwriter, I have been having a bit of a rip in my very own space-time continuum. I have been listening to a lot of female artists lately, and it has been incredibly good. While I do have the staples down, and…

Side A, flip, repeat – the playlist
Hmmm…records…not recordings, but records. Thing of the past or recently making a comeback? One thing as the so called “mp3 generation” we lose the ability to have two sides to music (and actual hold in your hands media). Not necessarily that the music has a formal beginning and an ending as both sides simply may…

Side B, flip, repeat – the playlist
Oh, and the “B-side”. While mostly reserved for dance floor remixes and the song that almost didn’t make the album, the other side can often be just as good if not better than the A-side. What I am getting at is I am looking for a thin connection to a Friday Playlist and have a…

If You Haven’t Heard – Donovan Woods
This one is going to be a keeper folks, the fourth installment of If You Haven’t Heard – “Donovan Woods”. Oh, did I mention we also have an unreleased new song as well?? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I have been listening to Donovan Woods for a little while, and in that short…

Cranes & Crows – Blame Winter (2008)
While linking through some of my MySpace artists that I have already posted on, I came across a connected artist that I should have already found, and didn’t know why I had missed it. Cranes & Crows is the work of Paul Brandt who has worked with the previously profiled project, The Cloud Hymn, and…

Bosco and the Lonely Drunks
So other than this self imposed mugshot photo of Marcus Jönsson (aka Bosco), I don’t know much about this Swede. I tried to contact him through through his MySpace page and got no response, and there is not much new material there outside of some upcoming live gigs, so here it is a post none…
