What I'm Listening To - Norma "Joan"

From the album "The Invisible Mother" by Norma (the band, not the person). Hedvig Jenning directed the video. If you like this, checkout their debut album "Book of Norma". Atmospheric and unique, their music appeals to my Scandinavian roots... :-)

Enigma - Sitting on the Moon (Piotr Sounder Lewandowicz Remix)

From the album A Posteriori. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. :-)

Something Special...

Something special I've been saving for you all. Have a great holiday weekend everyone...


The Song is "Amsterdam" by Coldplay.

Camera Obscura - Fifth In Line To The Throne

From their new Album Desire Lines.

"Fifth In Line To The Throne"

I gave you a regal name
Cause you treat me like a queen
But like a queen I don't know when I'll be slain

Now, I'm fifth in line to the throne
How am I gonna tell my king
That I don't trust his throne, anymore

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
If you want me to stay, let it show
Do you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know

I have seen your deepest flaws
I'm ashamed to say they made me want you more
But I was in awe

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
Do you want me to stay, let it show
If you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
If you want me to stay, let it show
If you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know
Let me know
Let me go

Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel

If you're into folk music and haven't heard these guys you need to check them out. I first saw them awhile back on Austin City Limits. This is from their excellent album O.C.M.S.

Judy Collins - In My Life

One of the greats of all time. Even though it's blasphemy, I much prefer her rendition over the original by the Beatles.

Muse - Starlight

From their 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations

The Lumineers - Ho Hey

From their excellent album aptly titled The Lumineers.

Imagine Dragons - Radioactive

Welcome to the new age. From their excellent album Night Visions.

AWOLNATION - Sail

This fan made video by MeekaKitty got 4x as many views on YouTube as the official AWOLNATION music video, but I'm not surprised - it's pretty awesome! From the Megalithic Symphony album.

Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful

I've been on a Lana Del Rey kick lately.
