Beautiful Girl

Hey, I'm a fan of beautiful girls!
This is William Fitzsimmons' gentle paean from his latest album, "Gold In the Shadow".

Nice Dream

This song is really neat. It's Sarah Bareilles covering an old Radiohead song,and it sounds amazing. Its spare arrangement is haunting and hypnotic.

Re: Your Brains

Teddy says this is musically unappealing. I say it doesn't matter. Aesthetic or no, this remains completely wonderful. If it makes me happy, that must count of something, neh?
This is the genius of Jonathan Coulton.

Back Home Weather

I can scarcely help but harbour strong feelings of devotion for this song; Matt Mays herein sounds so uncannily like Neil Young...except in the chorus, wherein he's just standalone wonderful. I heard my roomie playing this on his gee-tar and "Ooh," I said, "That's really pretty." He assured me it's a hundred times awesomer when Mays does it.



He even looks a bit like my roomie.

A Good Man is Hard to Find

An' it's a dirned shame, ain't it?
A song musically interesting in all sorts of ways for which I'd make a fool of myself were I to affect to describe 'em. But it caught my attention on account of its weird timing--it's set to a 5/4.




This here bloke is Sufjan Stevens.

My Fight (For You)

I don't know whether Greg Laswell is a fan of comedy or tyranny, but I do like this song. Yup.

Light the Shade and Message Stick

A couple delightful numbers from Xavier Rudd. We love him too on account of his manish beardfulness, 'course. And he's just a lot of fun. He's another bloke who defies classification.
