This band was supposed to be featured last month...
Other than that, well, a picture is worth a thousand words...and video like this is pretty hard to ignore.
One day, we'll all make the connection...

Marina and the Diamonds ~ Oh No!
You are more authentic...the more you resemble what you've dreamed you are - Todo Sobre Mi Madre
I would like to say I "stumble upon" all of the music I showcase on this blog, but that would deny the method to my madness. Friends, coworkers, random strangers always recommend music to me. I like music. I remember some musicians. I have to have some musicians rammed down my throat (and boasted about from their die-hard fans) to fully appreciate their artistic talents sometimes. And all of this I like to refer to as "stumbling upon."
Over the next week, I'll be sharing the artists that have more rather than less been recommended to me by friends. As always, though, I won't share something unless I actually enjoy the musician (...or I'm making some tongue-in-cheek statement about them...). My mama always said, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all!" I like that advice...
Mousy brown? Not too much. Earthy? Hmmm...she's touring with Katy Perry, so I doubt it. Soulful? Well, I felt what my soul needed from her music, and so it is on the blog...

The Deep Dark Woods - All the money I had is gone
I love getting back to the roots of this blog. Canadian Music, especially Canadian Folk Music is so nice on the ears! And, this band takes me back to my roots, being from deep in the heart of the rectangular province I will always call home: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Listen to this song, one of my favourites of theirs, and then check out their website as well!

Ben Lee - Woman Is The Nigger Of The World (Lennon/Ono)
This is a "politically incorrect" song that uses that political incorrectness to make its strongest point. Shock value tends to be worth a lot in making a point...not something I go for, but something I can appreciate.

Mike Roste ~ Someone
I've been meaning to post this video for a while now, but it's best that I've waited until April. As it turns out, he has a new cd coming out this spring, and a party happening at the end of this month. Check out the details on his Mike's MySpace page.

Chloe Albert ~ Honey Bee
And now for a return to some Alberta-bred musicians!
I saw this girl for the first time at a FolkFest. Was it last year or the year before? Right now, I can't remember. All I always remember about a great musician is how amazing they sound! Check out her myspace page!

Third "Friday": EPIC MULLET GUY
At some point, making fun of this song will get old. But, until then, let's allow it to give numerous talented individuals their fifteen minutes of fame. "Epic Mullet Guy" deserves his fifteen minutes, just as much as Rebecca Black does... And, you never know - he may go further than her!
