Showboats and Dives

Sudhir's Pick-
I think I have sent you Josh Ritter music before. He is good especially in this song. It's got a nice jazzy feel and very cool lyrics. Hope you like.

Showboat : Josh Ritter




Hi, it's been a long week, but a good one :) Hope yours has been good. 
Here's a singer from South London. I love listening to live/acoustic versions of songs. I really liked this one. Have a good week yo!

Serendipity

Hey hey!

So you might recognize this guy from American Idol. Like most winners, he has a token music video. He is not too bad but nothing special. Definitely not a Daughtry or Carrie Underwood.  Anyway, it's a fun track for a week that has so far been pretty blah. Hope it has been a good week.

Sweet Serendipity : Lee DeWyze




Hey you,
Sorry about your rough week. Hopefully this one will be better. 
My music listening this weekend ranged from choral music to some mainstream pop! Nothing really worth sharing on this blog. 
Found this today. The internet labels this genre as Soul rooted RnB. But I like it because it's really chill, the piano is great and he enunciates his lyrics! Also the video is cool. 
Hope the music is relaxing at the least.

Human Lightening


Hey,
I've been feeling very blah this weekend- the kind of blah before you become ill, or when you are recovering from illness. So I stayed in bed most of the day and watched silly romantic comedies! Aside from feeling kinda better now, I also found this cool song from one of the movie soundtracks. The lyrics are a bit depressing, but the music is great. I'm sure you'll like it.
Have a good Monday! :) 

Lightening Tent : Wildlife




Are you feeling better because of the romantic comedies? That would be a fascinating power that romcoms could have. Also, I am experiencing a solidarity sickness of a running nose and cough. Oh well... Since we are talking about discovery of new music. I heard this choice wile driving down to Brighton this weekend. I think you will like it.

BTW, I think I win. :)

Let Me In

Sudhir's Pick:
Since you are already so confident that you are going to win this week, I shouldn't even try right?! Nope, I really think you will like this. This has been on repeat all morning. Super catchy and does all the right things musically. Enjoy!

Let Me In : Grouplove




Hey you,
I was super excited to find this band-- an indie Indian duo. Love the simplicity of the track- the young love story line, the funky musical arrangement, and the music video. I asked you the other day about your thoughts on Wes Anderson because I think their music video has lots of Anderson elements- the colours, the random compilation of objects, camera angles, etc. I visited the National Gallery of Modern Art today, so I'm feeling very artsy. Going well with this song choice! 

They only have three tracks out, and I am waiting to see more of their talents and variety in music styles that they produce. 
I liked these lyrics from their track- Philosophize. 
"I've got a New York state of mind, In Indian standard time... Sometimes it just don't seem to fit" 
P.S I like your choice. Catchy for sure. :)
