Jakob Dylan - Seeing Things
Was a big fan of Zimmerman Jr's band The Wallflowers. Not in anyway mumbling like his father, here he is on Letterman singing Something Good This Way Comes.
Katy Perry - One Of The Boys*
I suspect that, approaching 40, I am going through some sort of mid-life crisis, as quite frankly I have NO idea quite I like this frothy slice of disposable pop. The 30 year old me would have been horrified at this. I must say that anyone who writes a song called UR So Gay with the opening line "I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf" can't be all bad.
And here she is again Kissing A Girl 'parrently
Lykke Li - Youth Novel
What can I say? Madder than a bottle of chips but lovely tunes - here's I'm Good, I'm Gone it's like, weird man...
This is Dance Dance Dance and if it doesn't make your day just that little bit better then there's NO hope.
My Brightest Diamond - A Thousand Shark's Teeth
Shara Worden has a wonderful haunting voice that I think appeals to my inner emo goth - edgy, slightly creepy and full of approaching menace [her singing not me]
This isn't on the album I have but it gives you the idea.
The Watson Twins - Fire Songs
Came to my attention when they sang with Jenny Lewis - solo [or duo] they remind me very much of Treana Morris from Wire Daisies. Couldn't find a WT vid on the 'tube so here they are with the afore mentioned Ms Lewis...and you get Sara Silverman as a bonus.
Now I'm off to watch the penultimate episode of Dr Who. Excited? Not 'arf!!
*I have a suspicion that the STBGD may have bloged about Ms Perry a while back - if so then I apologise for being so far behind the curve.
