tegan and sara

i get to see these lovely ladies play in boston in feburary. that will be my 6th concert.

just like with the con i was disappointed with sainthood.... crazy i know.... but then of course, just like with the con, i could not let myself be disappointed and i listened and listened and i realized what musical talent tegan and sara have. and once again the have pushed their music on to a new level that i was not ready for but am so glad that they did.

track 1: arrow (mediafire)

i've got grass stains on my knees for you

i just really love this song.

track 4 off does you inspire you: bruises (mediafire)

the first days of spring for noah and the whale

noah and the whale never stop hitting a special place in my heart. from songs like the shape of my heart to five years time and now on their new album with songs like the first days of spring. charlie fink's deep, slow melodic voice reverberates within you and makes you feel his love, loss, regret and happiness.

daisy from Daisy

brand new's new album which was supposed to be released this summer, but is now being said to be coming out in october, is amazing. i have had the privilege of listening to it early and they have once again stepped up.

track 9: daisy (mediafire)

two birds

i've never been a big fan of hers. i've liked a song here and there. but her new album Far, is amazing. i think she has broken through and all of the things she has been trying in her past album, mostly playing with the listeners perception of time and melody, she has finally successfully done.
