New Songs By People I Like

Niels Nielsen has a new song you should listen to (posted just a couple days ago).
http://nielsnielsen.bandcamp.com/track/sun-dazed-railway
Free download, or downloadable for whatever donation you desire.

Also listen to his 2009 album Cmon Vultures Part: 1.
Also free, apart from one track that will cost you a buck and a quarter.

These are the tunes that got me into the guy. I'd be driving down a 400-series highway dodging semis and coppers and a cool-yet-unfamiliar track would pop up on the player. Every time I checked to see who I was listening to it was always Niels Nielsen.


Kathleen Edwards also has two new tracks up on her Myspace (although I have no idea how long they've been there). She's working on a new album and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind it will be as awesome as all her other albums. Perhaps more so. No pressure.

"I Can't Give You Up" is a simple and short and devastating piano-and-voice song. "Lazy Eye" picks up where her last album, Asking For Flowers, left off (that is, on the brink of full emotional collapse). Why does somebody who is so perky and funny in person write and sing such wreck-you-down music? Who cares, just listen.
