Music Monday 6.2.08

Once again my favorite film podcast has introduced me to great music.  This time it's David Ford.  After hearing a few cuts from his album I decided to peruse many of his YouTube videos.  I was hooked.  The next day Joe Thorn called me, not knowing  and asked if I knew anymore about the music from the film podcast since he really liked it.  Listen, when Joe and I agree on music it's pretty much a guarantee that vast amounts of awesomeness are on the way.  Check out David Ford's one-take studio video for "Go To Hell"...

Ford is not only a talented singer/song-writer, he's prolific at doing covers. Often they are quite fun. How about that song from Titanic...

The Avett Brothers new EP in The Gleam series (The Gleam II) comes out in late July. One song on that EP will be "Murder in the City," a really beautiful song. Listen to this studio recording, or watch a decent concert video...

Listen to some new The Twilight Sad (right side, "track list). New Okkervil River album coming in September. The new Sigur Ros song "Gobbledigook" is free for us all.  Pitchfork has wisely interviewed Bon Iver.  Listen to some new Shearwater.  Their new album is out tomorrow. 

How about one last video, this time a cover from Christian artist Phil Wickham. Wowwy. (HT: Living Forward)
