New Music Tuesday

I've been getting into some new music recently.  Most notably, I was reading Paste Magazine online and came across a blog called Cover Me, which posts famous and not-so-famous artists covering famous songs. You should really check the site out, it has some quality stuff. I have already spent hours there. Speaking of wasting time on the net, have you seen Dear Girls Above Me?  Another good site, but not music related.

Now for a few YouTube links for your entertainment...

First, Mike Snow - The Rabbit
I'm still scratching my head over the video, but the song is good.



Second, The Foals - Blue Blood
I gave the band the #1 spot on my favorite songs from 2009 and this is their new single. Another good song, another odd video.



Third, Atomic Tom - Take Me Out
This video was played live on an NYC subway only using iPhones.  It reminded me of a song I downloaded in 2005 of a band that played a song totally with childrens' instruments.  I can't for the life of me remember the band or song, but a glockenspiel was involved.  I'll try to find it because it was a good song, but I digress from the song here:



Fourth, Jukebox the Ghost - Empire
I don't remember how I came across this band, but they have a couple of good songs that I like.  This one tops the list.



Lastly, Jack Carty - Hey You
I went to see my friend Milan (I think I can call her a friend now, after all - we're Facebook friends :) ) play with Massema at the Newtown RSL on Saturday. She sang well, as usual, but I forgot my video camera so I have no evidence of her voice.  I'm trying to convince her to put up her own YouTube videos. This guy, Jack Carty, opened up for her and I really got into his music. If I could sing and play guitar to go with my lyrics, I'd probably go for a sound a lot like his.



Let me know what you think and share your new music with me!
