Joe Garner contacted me a few weeks back, having a common friend, and asked if I would like to check out his new EP, Mourning Birds. A few minutes on Joe's MySpace page and I knew it was worth hearing. While I won't go into much detail about Joe, Brent gives plenty of info that you should check out. His music is folksy americana, maybe. It's measured, thoughtful, gentle even. It reminds me a lot of Denison Witmer, who I like quite a bit. I encourage you to check out Joe's music. It's good.
Here's Joe singing "Bury the Hatchet," which is a delicate dance of a story (a pretty good explanation of most of his music). Beautiful (especially when the coffeehouse baristas are steaming the milk)...
I've been looking for some Justice, with no success. Here's a taste...
Great new video from the New Pornographers, on what may be the best song on their Challengers CD...
I'd like to pick up the Ampersand EP from Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken. Sounds really, really great. Here's "Watch Your Mouth" sung by Derek...
I picked up Mark Ronson's Version CD. Read about it at MusicOMH. My favorite track is with Lily Allen.
