All We Have Is Time


Hey hey,
It might just be because it sounds a lot like Death Cab for a Cutie but Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness might be my favourite find of this year. Very easy listening, relatable lyrics and a beautiful voice. I like this song better than the more popular - Cecilia and the Satelite which I think we have talked about recently. Either way, I can see him becoming a prominent feature on 8 tracks playlists. Enjoy!

Hey!
No sure if I ever sent you music by UsTheDuo. They were just YouTube singers, but last year they became famous when their song was part of the Book of Life soundtrack. Heard their latest track, 'Slow Down Time' today and just do not like the new style of their music. It was so upsetting to see them become so pop-y! I managed to find a live acoustic version of the same track, and it is lovely! Why don't they just release a stripped-down acoustic version?! Sigh.

Call the Police


Hey hey!

I love our Oscar traditions - waking up early, continuous texting whichever hemisphere we are in and of course, the frantic tallying at the end to see who predicted more winners. I know awards season isn't for a while but since we started watching potential Oscar movies already (The Walk) might as well share a song from a recent Oscar flick. Oddly enough, I only recently heard it. I think Legend is better on this than 'Glory' which he won the award for. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to February 2016.

I know I sent this to you a couple weeks ago, but this needs to be heard by more people. Everyone knows that Clemens Rehbein (a.k.a Milky Chance) is a talented singer, but who are all these other talented musician friends of his!? Way too much talent for one music video. I listened to some of the music by the other singer in the video. Most of his music is in German, but really good stuff. I definitely think he sounds very much like George Ezra. Also, Roxanne is such a good song choice to cover. Have a good week.

Some Indie for October


Hey yo!
By now I feel like you know my music tastes well enough that I do not need to explain why I like this song. But in the interest of record- keeping and because a few people actually read this every week, I thought I would elaborate. 'Feels Like the End' literally has everything I like in a song - brilliant lyrics (which make me question my sanity), deep powerful voice and that beautiful beautiful piano taking a lead. Bring on the long reflective times on the balcony!

Hey, 
I'm not sure that you listen to enough folk music, so here's one that is as folk-y as you can get. A banjo taking the lead harmony, lyrics that take you back reminiscing childhood days and home, and a gradual crescendo of tempo towards the end of the song are all components that make it a great track. They toured with Mumford and Sons and Ben Howard, so you can definitely see the line of influence. Have a good week.

It's Still Monday in Hawaii

From Sudhir 

Hey!

So I really, really think you will like this song. Remember when we were talking about Django Unchained having great music? This song totally belongs on that soundtrack. I know you enjoy songs with strong anthem- type choruses. This song has that and more. Thankfully, I was watching an episode of Colbert the other day. He was on there. Happy Monday!



From Tanisha

I played this for you the other day because I thought I had already sent it to you, but I guess not. It was a random find on 8tracks and I listened to it on loop for the whole day (like I do with great finds). Despite listening to it so many times, I'm still not sure what the lyrics are.

"Ooo, something that's real now. Ooo, it's better than here now..."

This is the debut track from an LA based band. Much anticipation for more music from them.
