NEW NEWTON FAULKNER!: newton faulkner - clouds

newton faulkner - clouds
[yes... newton faulkner is by far the most twee singer songwriter that i've kind of aligned myself with unconditionally (i mean, the hair alone!) i just can't help it, the guy writes really catchy songs and i've been a fan since the beginning. he's got a new album out and well.. there you have it!]

[normally i would avoid any musician with dreadlocks, let alone GINGER ones, but in the case of british troubadour newton faulkner, i'll let his unruly locks slide. much has to do with the fact that he's come up with one of the most catchy US sounding singer/songwriter albums of the year, and yet he is thoroughly british. now if he'll just cut his nasty hair maybe i'll even admit to being a fan one day.]

my 10 favorite songs of the mo: paddy casey, yoav, newton faulkner, adele, rogue wave, fink, brandi carlile, kate walsh, emmy the great, david ford

for the past few weeks i've been meaning to share the following songs that have been swirling in my ears via the ipod. perfectly capturing my street/travel soundtrack and my mood for the fall, these 10 acts have broken through my playlist to be my favorite tunes of the moment.

rather than write long bios (and therefore take longer to post this), i've supplied their videos and their wikipedia links (if you want to find out more about them). for now, just let the music do the talking.

hope you like my 10 fave songs of the mo in no particular order!


paddy casey - addicted to company [link 2]


yoav - beautiful lie [link 2]


newton faulkner - all i got [link 2]

(pop) songs we like: newton faulkner - dream catch me

[a much better full-sounding pop release than his debut single 'i need something', i still can't get over the fact that this singer/songwriter is a brit! now if he'll just cut that nappy hair and US crossover success will be imminent.]

new video tuesday: xpress2, patrick wolf, newton faulkner, soulsavers, electric soft parade

thanks to if:mv for some of these vid tips!


xpress2 feat tim delaughter - witchi tai to
[old skool bootlegging! what the heck we did before downloading (B.D.) is beyond me]


patrick wolf - the magic position (live podcast performance)
[though everyone i know was in love with this guy, i have to say that i was very reluctant to jump on the bandwagon. much has to do with patrick's voice (which is kind of 'eh') but after watching this performance, i'm kind of warming up to this boy. oh well... better late than never right? if you like it check out his album the magic position]


newton faulkner - i need something
[looks like the uk finally gets their version of the john mayer/jason mraz hybrid. the trajectory to nice heights will probably be a sweet one, then let the backlash commence by november.]


soulsavers - revival
[the video is like a lost episode of the now defunct HBO series Carnivale. just one of the gems from the highly dramatic eclectic band's new album it's not how far you fall, it's the way you land.]


electric soft parade - if that's the case, then i don't know (legal download yo!)

electric soft parade - appropriate ending (here's another track from their album no need to be downhearted, personally i thiknk it's a better song)
