Paper Plane Pilot

Hey hey,

Very easy listening track to go with my laid-back weekend. I went to a documentary screening and an art exhibition today- a very art reflective kind of day. 
Hope your weekend was good. We must catch up soonly!

Sudhir's Pick:

Rut : The Killers on Sound Exploder

Hey you!
Doing something different this week. Sharing an exciting podcast I have found which dissects new music along with the artists. There is an impressive list of artists on it including The Killers talking about their new song "Rut". Since I can't find the song anywhere online, this blog serves as a great substitute. This Killers song is exceptional and the story behind it hits you in the feels.

Anyways, here it is - Song Exploder. Will be very excited to hear what you think about it.

Much Needed Break

Hey hey!

This has been my trip for this week. You will know why. It does all the things I like in music. He will be huge soon, I think. It's my prediction. Take a listen. :)

See you in a few weeks.

I've been telling you about my short weekend trip to the mountains, but I am stressing it more with my song choice today. The city tires me out- the noise and pollution is often claustrophobic. Spent two days with fresh air and beautiful mountain-scapes. Came home to find this song in my email. I don't remember signing up to this composers updates, but I guess I did. Instrumental music often connects me to nature. This track especially with it's raw acoustic recording with the creaking of the piano bench and the pedals. 

Glad you had a bit of a break this weekend too.

P.S. Great song choice. Listening on repeat. And yes, see you soonly. :D 

Seven : Richard P John

No One Knows Me

So since Beyonce more or less (directly or indirectly) owned the Grammy's today, I thought you need some Beyonce in your life (like we all do). But in typical Sudhir fashion, you get a little twist. I am very much in love with this cover and I am sure you will be too. Enjoy!

XO : John Mayer 

Hey,
I was listening to some of the Grammy nominated music today. Lots of impressive music for sure, but not many artists that I really loved in that list. But while listening, this guy came up in the YouTube suggestions. Great song title and a great voice. Thank you YouTube!
Have a good week :)

Christmas Feels

Hey hey!
If this is a blog about discovering new music, here it is. Jolan made it big on the Voice UK and his career has taken off since then. I couldn't get this Beyonce' song out of my head and found a perfect mix for you this week. Hope you enjoy!

XO : Jolan

I know we decided that next week would be Christmas week, but I really couldn't help it. I spent the entire day listening to Christmas music yesterday and then went for a lovely concert in a beautiful cathedral last night- all the Christmassy feels. Makes me miss home.

Here's the nicest find from yesterday. Such a warm cover of the song. I read this description of his music from Facebook.

"You can almost hear the landscape in their songs – melodically rich, sweeping pop that washes over and basks you in sunlight."

Just For You

So this week I picked a song not based on what I like but rather what I think you would. In fact, your song sounds more like something I would pick. It is still an interesting sound but just not the tempo I am comfortable with. I will admit though it would be really nice chill out music for Boston Legal moments.

Hey you,
Thank you very much! That is the kind of music I listen to a lot. Makes for perfect working music and general background music for my life- easy listening, simple arrangements and beautiful lyrics. This one is a little sad, but still beautiful.

I feel like I didn't listen to much music last week to find something particularly striking. So, I've picked one from a backup list in my mind of an artist I listen to once in a while. I had put his music on a travel music last year and this song would fit there too. Also, I really want to surf.
