because i've practically been living in a hotel for the past two weeks, my viewing habits before i crash these nights have been with VH1's nocturnal state. not only do they show music videos (what!!! on tv?!!) but their playlist is actually interesting enough for me to discover new acts. the following three have been my favorites before i go to sleep:
tristan prettyman - madly [link 2]
[i seem to have a self imposed information brain fart when it comes to singer/songwriter/surfer chick tristan prettyman. the biggest mistake is that i kept on thinking that she was aussie singer missy higgins with a new single (hey, give me a break, it was usually 3am when her video would come on). then just when i thought i knew who this singer was, i couldn't find ANY information online for tristan PERRYman. it's like an information wall that i've finally overcome. thank goodness cause her album hello is not bad at all.]
justin nozuka - after tonight [link 2]
[fans of this blog know that i've always had a soft spot for a guy singing behind his acoustic guitar. so discovering this toronto based half japanese/half american singer/songwriter was inevitable (especially right before i go to sleep). part of a family of talented kids (brother george is an r&b sensation in canada), justin dedicated his debut album to his mother holly because of her support and help in self releasing this soulful collection. aww...]
charlotte sometimes - how i could just kill a man [link 2]
[what a solid single for this young music prodigy. having self released a few EPs before signing to a major label, charlotte sometimes is actually the alias for jessica charlotte poland. her strong debut album waves and the both of us is a mix of adult lyrics masked in a glorious world of pop, just the way we like it (if you like what you hear, the full album is available for only $5.99!). just in case you can't see the above video, check it out on youtube.]

I saw Tristan Prettyman open for G.Love about 4 years ago not having any idea who she was. Definitely was impressed and talked to her after the shows. She's real cool in person. You should check out some of her earlier stuff like Guest Check, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-MdHKYGcmE
Her song with Jason Mraz is cool too.

thanks for the Justin Nozuka track. I've recently stumbled upon his brilliance.
Hello,
I saw that you like Justin Nozuka. I think you should check out this upcoming artist, Alexi Paraschos. His style is acoustic/soul/pop and he plays guitar and piano. Check him out. If you like what you hear can you write a review on him on your blog?
Here's his site. myspace.com/alexisongs
Thanks!
