The best artists take a little from many different artists and make something unique. A prime example is Langhorne Slim and The Law, a singer-songwriter and his band, and their honest, emotional songs. We’ll be featuring a review of “The Way We Move” …

Youtube Gem: Green River Ordinance – “Where the West Wind Blows”
Every once and a while, we hear a song that leaves nothing to be desired. It is, in its entirety, a perfect song. It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to. Even more rare, we’re on hand for one such song. Today’s YouTube …
YouTube Gem: Erin Rae – “Going Away”
Eratosthenes is a remarkable videographer with the best music connections in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s his recording of the incomparable Erin Rae. Her guitar playing is soothing and her voice like honey. Drink it in… so so sweet.
Youtube Gems: The Last Bison
If you were fortunate enough to catch The Last Bison when they were still Bison, you’ll have heard most of the songs on their upcoming Universal Records debut. Most of the songs on that debut are off of their self produced debut “Quill” …
YouTube Gem: Nizlopi – Start Beginning
It’s one of my sad things, that Nizlopi is no longer a band. Two guys, a guitar and a stand up bass, seems a little slim for a band, but throw in some beatboxing, an incredible voice, and great songwriting and it’s all …

YouTube Gem: Hudson Taylor – Keep Me In Mind
Today, thanks to a good friend of mine (shout out to Dan O’Keefe), we’ve got a really cool video from the couch. Hudson Taylor and some pals play his song “Keep Me In Mind” and add in some very cool harmonies. Enjoy the …
YouTube Gem: Brandi Carlisle “Keep Your Heart Young”
This is my first public apology. I owe it to Brandi Carlisle and Columbia Records. As it turns out they sent us Brandi’s newest album to review a while back and I haven’t reviewed it yet. As a result, we’re featuring this cute …
Youtube Gem: Scars on 45 – “Give Me Something”
This YouTube Gem comes to us courtesy of British rock band Scars on 45. I’ll be doing a review of their debut album next week, sneak peek: it’s really good, but until then, here’s one of the best on the album, “Give Me …
Youtube Gems: Crooked Still
We wrote last year about The Deadly Gentlemen, an awesome bluegrass band that kinda sounds like what I imagine would happen if STOMP made bluegrass music. There’s lots of yelling and laughing and it just generally makes you happy and want to clap …
