Monday, May 16, 2011: Basement Jaxx Feat. Lisa Kekaula - Good Luck



Probably one of the greatest personal liberation anthems this side of I Will Survive.

A new week can be for seeking new adventures, but it can also be for cutting out the deadwood and taking out the trash.

You know what I mean.

Either way, make it a good one

Saturday, May 14, 2011: Richie Havens - Here Comes the Sun



Here comes the sun.

And the sun has no better voice to announce its presence than the legendary Richie Havens.

Friday, May 13, 2011: ZZ Top - La Grange



Friday's are about going out and having fun.

Of course, one person's "fun" is often vastly different from anothers.

One persons "fun" might just seem like "work" to someone else

If you catch my drift.

Don't work to hard this weekend, then. You know who I'm talking to

Thursday, May 12: Bon Iver - Skinny Love (Live at Glastonbury '09)



There is something amazing about a musician who can hold an audience's attention with just a guitar, their voice, minimal backing and a truly great song.

Here is Justin Vernon and the boys making it happen, and making it count.

Wednesday, May 11, 2011: Enigma - The Dream Of The Dolphin



Very few groups bring the chills and goosebumps like Enigma

Yes, I'll admit, Sadness hasn't aged well. Which is ironic, considering the base music for that track is hundreds of years old.

However, most of their remaining catalog is rolling along through the years just fine. Gaining strength with time, even.

Like this song. 

 
Stop whatever you are doing, close your eyes, and just get immersed in this overflow of luscious musical sensation unlike anything being produced today.

Tuesday, May 10, 2011: Hands and Knees - Throw Me From The Bridge Of Flowers



Here's another Bandcamp selection, this time from a group called Hands and Knees, from "Boston and Western Massachusetts."

I don't know anything about them other than that. If you want to look them up yourself:

Bandcamp site: handsandknees.bandcamp.com/

Myspace site myspace.com/handsandknees

Or, if you just want to sit back and enjoy some outstanding, unfussy, folk tinged, good-tymey music, just lay back and enjoy
