Joao Gilberto at Carnegie Hall
Monday, June 23rd, 2008I have been a huge fan of Bossa Nova for as long as I can remember, and last night I got to see Joao Gilberto, the father of Bossa Nova at Carnegie Hall celebrating. For those of you not familiar with Bossa Nova, I’m sure you have heard the song “Girl From Impanema” somewhere. […]
Finally…J*Davey!
Monday, June 9th, 2008After 3 years of missing J*Davey’s New York performances due to finals, work, etc., I finally caught up with them on Sunday! I must say that I was a little nervous about seeing them live though, I mean after years of anticipation you stand the chance of being highly disappointed. NOT THE CASE […]
Sasha Dobson at Hill Country
Monday, June 9th, 2008I was completely dumbfounded when I showed up to work at my restaurant Wednesday night to find that Sasha Dobson was going to be performing. Ms. Dobson first caught my attention almost two years ago with her single “Without You”, a sultry mix of folk rock and bossa nova. It’s just a shame […]

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 Courtesy of Pinch My Salt
I have Andreya Triana to thank for turning me on to J. Most. I happened to stumble upon his name as an artist that she was currently digging, and I can see why. WOW. I mean this dude has got some amazingly soulful songs…I mean D’Angelo type […]
Tawiah
Sunday, April 27th, 2008I have been really feeling this song “Broken Heart” by Tawiah for awhile now, but just haven’t gotten around to posting about it. One of my like minded musical junkie friends (yeah Kansky, I took your “verbage”) informed me of how much he liked the song as well, so I figured I better write […]

SXSW Free Music!
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008So I’m going to assume that most of you have some free time today, so make sure you get you free music from SXSW! Around 800 songs for the taking so get started soon because it takes a while to download, and you will most likely need a bit torrent as well. There […]
The Little Ones
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008Today has been a little strange…I went to a museum in Neuchatel, and I saw the little Jaquet-Droz robot/dolls from the 1700’s. They were really creepy, but it was exciting to see what they could do. They could draw, write notes, and even play the piano.
I guess that is why I’m posting the new […]
New Music!
Friday, February 8th, 2008Andreya Triana and Kissey Asplund have both posted new music on their pages…check em’ out! Andreya has just got acoustic versions of what she is working on in the studio but “Up in the Fire” is definitely worth a listen.
Friday Treats: Kid A
Friday, February 1st, 2008I am at a loss of words when it comes to Kid A. Blurring the lines between electro-pop, new wave, house, 80’s, and even funk she leaves you with the sense that her goal is to remain ambiguous. Which in and of itself seems quite difficult to achieve considering the only thing that […]
