birthday-cupcake1

Because it’s my berfday today. . . May 28th (in case you want to mark down in your calendars), I’ve decided to post a couple of birthday inspired songs for this week’s Song of the Week. Some are just plain ol’ favorites, some have a tiny bit to do with the word birthday, some are just good music, no reason but that. Whatever the case, it’s a happy day around here and you better be happy too! Weird songs or not!

Clickity Clack – Alela Diane

Birthday – Bird and the Bee

This Time I Know Its For Real – Donna Summer (love the whistles and hand claps!)

All Will Be Well – Gabe Dixon Band

st vincent “actor out of work”

st-vincent

The first single off St Vincent’s sophomore release Actor is titled funny enough, “Actor Out of Work”. It’s a labyrinth of unorthodox pop, driving rock and lovely swells of energy and ooh ooh oohs. It’s short and sweet, and full of funky, artistic bite.

alana davis blame it on me

There’s a ton, and I mean a TON, of impressive new music out there, but some days my ears just need a lil’ something familiar. It’s like a putting on an old pair of ratty, faded jeans – it just feels comfy. Not that this week’s song is faded and ratty. But you get my drift. It’s a favorite track of mine from Alana Davis’ 1997 debut Blame It On Me. . .

“constellations”

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Alessi’s Ark debut album Notes from the Treehouse drops May 4th and it’s full of enchanting sounds from the classic harpsichord in “Constellations” to bluesy Motown backbeats in “Memory Box”. Alessi’s poetry and quirky approach to music is memorable and enviable.

The sound of Oregon indie band Blind Pilot is old-timey yet current; a very appealing combination thanks to the guitar, banjo and violin. And this endearing music troupe has a debut album that’s easy on the ears from beginning to end.
