If you don't know William Fitzsimmons by now, please stop listening to whatever song you're playing right now, and listen to the song below.
I first heard Fitzsimmons about 2 or 3 years ago when he was touring with Caitlin Crosby and Slow Runner, ( Yes, I am a huge Crosby fan!) and it's amazing to see how much bigger he has gotten over the past few years. It's great to see talented people get famous!
Anyway if you enjoy the song below, here's a free album you want to check out! What better than 5 free songs from him!
If you live in the US, and or have an Itunes account based there, you are in luck! Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit is this week's single of the week on Itunes, and I don't have much to say, except they both have amazing voices and you shouldn't even have to think twice about downloading this song!
Here's yet another Angus and Julia Stone song for you to download free of charge! Now how awesome is that! Broken Brights was just released earlier this week, so go grab it while it's free, and share it with your friends!
To download this song for FREE click HERE. - And while you are on that website, Triple J, check out the other free downloads! Some of them are great. Will do a post on one of those bands later on.
UPDATE: Sorry, the link has expired, as the download was only for a limited time! Gotta act quicker next time.
For all those indie lovers, here is a free song you don't want to ignore.
This is one of the greatest indie bands that you will ever find, and also one of the most underrated ones. The first time I heard Radical Face was back in October when their song Ghost Towns was free on Itunes, and I have been in love ever since. Hope you enjoy A Pound of Flesh!
Earlier this week, I got to see one of my favorite indie bands, Bombay Bicycle Club, perform in Tokyo. Playing at the same small venue where Foster the People had a sold out gig the following day, and Metronomy the previous one, BBC didn't stay far behind, and even had miss Pixie Lott singing along.
Although they didn't play what I personally consider two of their best songs, How Are You, and You Already Know, the show was completely amazing! Below is a picture I took during the show, and a great song off their setlist.
And last but not least, here is a picture with the singer of BCC, who by the way, has an incredible fashion sense. (By that I mean what he was wearing on stage).
I just have to say this: With the most amazing music, an unbelievable good looking drummer, and a band member who looks like he could be part of the movie The Outsiders, this band is in another level!
And a very special thanks to Squib, the lighting designer, for making this happen!
It is always those simple songs that manage to give me goose bumps and watery eyes.
This time I found myself watching a movie called Archie's Final Project (previously known as My Suicide) and I literally stopped the movie for about 10 minutes, until I found the song that was playing in the background. Here's Winter Storm by Joshua James. What an incredible voice!
Saturday Night Live's musical guest this week was internet's new sensation Lana Del Rey, and since I am not here to judge, I will not mention anything about her performance, except for the fact that she looked gorgeous. The first time I heard her sing was back in Septembre when teenage actress Chloe Moretz posted this song on her Twitter, and it's become a hit since then! Thanks, Chloe!
My dad bought Adele's 19 album last week, and although I had heard the song Daydreamer a few times before, it never got to me like it does now. The song is so powerful, and in a weird way I feel like I can relate to it.
I ran into Adele at the Miami Heat game a few days ago, and I must admit, she is quite the lady! She was so nice to everyone, and even when her boyfriend was being protective, and said, "Baby, we should go. Let's go baby" as soon as people started to realize who she was, she kindly took pictures with everyone, and signed a few autographs. She didn't have any bodyguards with her, until the Heat security came to escort her out, at the END of the game! Yes, she stayed until the very last minute of it!
...Anyway! getting back to the topic, here's Adele's Daydreamer.
And here's my picture with Adele, just in case you wanted too see it! ;)
(Not my finest picture, but then again, who looks good next to the beautiful Adele?!)
First post of 2012! Happy new year to you all. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and letting me share my music with you guys.
Having said that, thank you, Jessica Stroup for having the most amazing music taste along with Gillian Zinser!
Jessica just posted this song called Chlorophyl by MillionYoung on her Twitter account, and it's brilliant! Hope they keep sharing great music with us.
