Happy Hour…
Posted on May 28, 2010 by jacobsalex
FlashForward is a show on ABC that is the perfect combination of SciFi and crime drama. Basically it’s nerdactular. They closed last night’s season finale with a cliffhanger that was very dramatic, all the while playing The Funeral from Band of Horses. I’ve had the song stuck in my head all day.

I’m pretty excited for a three day weekend. I would bet I’m not the only one. As a wiser man than me once said, “yeah, yeah, yeah”. Here are two from Matt & Kim to get the weekend started.

The first time I heard this song I thought it was The Sea and Cake, until I heard Thom’s voice. Pretty cool user submitted video though.

I remember the first time I heard the Beta Band was while watching public access in Austin. This video was playing and I remember thinking that any city which played cool music on a public access channel was where I wanted to live. Alas, I no longer live there, and the Beta Band no longer [...]

By now you’ve heard of Bon Iver, and you’ve heard “Skinny Love”. What you probably haven’t heard is the version from Later, with Jools Holland. A comment from YouTube sums it up, “…I like how no one is ready for the bomb Justin is about to drop on them.”

Every now and then you listen to a song that catches hold of you. This one caught me based on what Allmusic writer Jason Thurston described as an “ethereal collage of indie folk, Baroque pop, plains country (and whatever else strikes their fancy)”. I haven’t been able to stop listening to this for the last [...]

Friday Happy Hour
Posted on May 21, 2010 by jacobsalex
Thank God for the internet. Lately I’ve found some really cool music sites where the intention is to get artists in a natural setting, minus all of their equipment. Consider it verite-unplugged. Black Cab Sessions is one of those sites. Here’s The Walkmen performing in the back of a cab driving through the streets of [...]

Every morning I’m going to have a video from an artist I like. Maybe you like them, maybe you don’t. Maybe you’ve heard of them, maybe you haven’t. Feel free to make recommendations as I am always looking for new music. You can email me at polymath.mail@gmail.com. You may recognize the song, but more likely [...]
