April 16, 2008

I was given a copy of Andy Hunter°’s new album, Colour, recently to review. The first time I heard of Andy Hunter°, I picked up a free CD of his entitled Exodus at the first Emergent Convention (actually, since they were freebies at one of the General Sessions, I think I picked up about 30 [...]

February 4, 2008

Though apparently my mom has one of her CDs at home, I just recently have become familiar with the music of Quaker singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer. Carrie has a wonderful folk sound and has become a regular on my iTunes playlist as of late. Carrie is a poet, a theologian, a mystic and sings these folk [...]

Fridays are for New Music

January 25, 2008

This song has been out for awhile - I believe the first time I heard it was on Grey’s Anatomy. Decatur-born Michael Stipe, lead singer of R.E.M., put this song out after Katrina to benefit Mercy Corps. The song is “In the Sun.”

I’ve been listening to Rogue Wave for a few years now. Very cool, easy listening stuff. This song is called “Kicking the Heart Out.”

Today’s song comes from artist Kendall Payne. I first heard of her a few years ago from April, and instantly starting getting into her style. We heard this song on “Brothers and Sisters” I think; it’s off her newest album, Paper Skin, and the song is called “I Will Show You Love.”

Songza

January 10, 2008

A friend pointed me to Songza, a music search engine and internet jukebox. It’s a bit like Pandora, in that you can listen to music online and create your own playlists. And it’s a bit like Google because you type in any song and it pulls it up for you and starts playing it. I [...]

Fridays are for New Music

January 4, 2008

Today you get a really great song - it’s by artist A Fine Frenzy. Her music is described as “hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melody fused into irresistible, atmospheric songs with the power to reach around the world.” That’s a pretty bold statement about the music, but it’s really great stuff. I love her [...]

Fridays are for New Music

December 28, 2007

Today we feature Austin-based VAST. This is another one of the harder bands, described as “industrial, alternative, progressive rock.” This song is called “I’m Dying” and is on their debut album, “Visual Audio Sensory Theater.” It’s good workout music, or music to blast when you’re mad or driving around with the windows down. The whole [...]
