A Dark Horse – “Take Me Home”
When I first heard this song on bandcamp, it struck me as a unique song, but I wasn’t sold. After I downloaded the EP (free here: http://adarkhorse.bandcamp.com/album/a-dark-horse), I listened a few more times and fell in love. I’m not sure if its the cadence …

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: 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 …
