Painting the Silence

Ok, you all know this one so sing along. Great voice. Great song. I still love it.

This is the angelic voice you hear backing Joshua Radin in several of his songs. If I had not been at the Hotel Cafe Tour stop at SXSW to hear it with my own ears I would never have guessed the profanity to come out of her sweet little mouth between songs. Her yukalaylee was ‘a small F*#@ing instrument’ and she was excited to announce that her album will soon be sold ‘in stores and S*@T!’ In addition to harmonizing with Joshua Radin, she was featured on Amos Lee’s song “Black River” from a while back. That’s a great song, you should check it out. Anyway, her EP is on itunes but her album drops June 10th.

I saw Joshua Radin at The Parish in Austin. You may remember his song, “Winter,” on the TV series Scrubs. I hadn’t listened to his stuff in a while. I have his only full length album from 2006, We were here, but I hadn’t really heard much else until seeing him live. He played a few songs from his new itunes EP, Unclear Sky, which might be worth investing in.

Hello, welcome to my blog. I’m new at this. This is my first post. I wanted to use WordPress but I think it’s too complicated so I’m gonna to start here on Blogger. I just didn’t want ‘.blogspot’ as part of my URL but, oh well. This blog is going to be a log of all the music I am currently listening to. I think I might start by posting several videos of artists I saw at The South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin a few weeks ago. This first video is by singer/songwriter, Greg Laswell, from San Diego, CA.
