WONGIE FOLK SONG OF THE MONTH: dirty projectors - swing low magellan

dirty projectors - swing low magellan
probably my favorite song off the album and also one of my favorite songs of the year. oh wait... did i just give away spoilers of my year end list?

LAZY SUNDAY SOUNDTRACK: jason mraz - 93 million miles

jason mraz - 93 million miles
easily one of my favorite jason mraz songs ever written, i'm surprised how long it took for it to be released as a single (but then again, all his songs have legs that last 8-9 months of airplay, so expect to hear this still in the summer of 2013!)

WONGIE FOLK SONG OF THE MONTH: sharon van etten - leonard

sharon van etten - leonard
[always buzzed on hipster blogs, it's taken me awhile to get on the sharon van etten bandwagon, but one listen to this lullabye-esque ballad from her album 'tramp' and i am hooked! the song speaks for itself so i'll just leave it for you to discover it's beautifulness!]

WE HEART BEN HOWARD!: ben howard - the fear / keep your head up / old pine (live) / the fear (live @ secret sessions)

there definitely seems to be a 'moment' buzz circling around singer/songwriter ben howard these days (or maybe it's just in my world ;), but the music of ben is tapping just perfectly into our daily soundtrack and hopefully should be part of your world too. check out three amazing gems from his glorious album 'every kingdom' below:



ben howard - the fear
[brand new single and we LOVE it!]


ben howard - keep your head up
[to think that i never posted anything of ben on this blog til now! guess i've been hogging him to myself these past few months! this track is easily my fave (with an awesome video to boot)!]


ben howard - old pine (live @ watch listen tell)
[another gem from the awesome ben!]


ben howard - the fear (live @ secret sessions)
[a reprise of the wonderful 'the fear' this time in acoustic mode! hope you can have a nice cup of morning coffee with this lovely performance and mini interview with the ever talented ben howard! oh how we love him!]
