Song of the Day – Bon Iver – I Can’t Make You Love Me
Bon Iver’s take on the Bonnie Raitt song “I Can’t Make You Love Me” with a little bit of “Nick of Time” thrown in at the end. What a beautiful song, and I think the sentiment is one that everyone can identify it. Thanks to my friend Bonnie Piesse for sharing this with me so [...]
Song of the Day – Rosanne Raneri and Bryan Thomas – Case of You
Little known fact: Rosanne Raneri is the reason I am a songwriter. While I listened to, and admired, Joni Mitchell and Simon & Garfunkel in high school, Rosanne was a very real inspiration to me; when I was 17, she came and performed at a folk festival we held to raise money for our literary [...]
Song of the Day – Florence and the Machine – Cosmic Love (Unplugged)
I am in danger of making my music blog a Florence and the Machine fan site with this post – but I love the song Cosmic Love so much, and love this Unplugged version so much, that I wanted to post it anyway… Tweet Pin It
Song of the Day – Polica – Lay Your Cards Out
Beautiful futuristic dream-pop – makes me want to go hole up in my home studio and try to churn out something as gorgeous this… Tweet Pin It
Song of the Day – Florence Welch and Josh Homme – Jackson
What could be better than Florence Welch unplugged? Florence Welch doing a Johnny Cash duet with John Homme of Queens of the Stone Age! Amazing, awesome, and bizarre all at the same time… Tweet Pin It
Song of the Day – Robert Glasper Experiment – Cherish the Day
This cover of Sade’s “Cherish The Day” is just gorgeous… This is by a band I just discovered called the Robert Glasper Experiment… The woman singing is Lalah Hathaway (Donny Hathaway’s daughter!)… Tweet Pin It
Song of the Day – Luscious Jackson – Ladyfingers
So, Luscious Jackson, one of my favorite bands in college, has reunited! They made some of the awesomest, upbeat music of the 90′s, and they were all chicks. This is one of my favorites – enjoy! Tweet Pin It
Song of the Day – Joan Osborne – One of Us (Live)
In honor of her new album coming out tomorrow, here’s a beautiful live version of Joan Osborne’s most popular song, One of Us. She is one of my most favorite live performers – she is genuine, raw, and able to be both passionate and tender all at the same time. When I hear her sing, [...]
New Orleans Music – Ed Wills and Blues For Sale
So our last night in New Orleans, wife and I were walking by a bar and looked in the window, and this guy was playing MY guitar – well, the twin sister of it anyway – so we had to go in and check it out! And it turns out to be a great blues [...]
New Orleans Music – Smoking Time Jazz Club
So I’m in New Orleans for a few days, and I had the supreme pleasure of seeing the Smoking Time Jazz Club perform at a bar called Mojito’s and thought they were amazing – Washboard drummer, upright bass, and a chick who sang into a microphone that sounded like she was straight out of 1929! [...]
