Muppets...

So I got the 2nd and 3rd seasons of The Muppet Show on DVD for Christmas.  Kind of the best thing ever.  Here's one of my favorites from Season 2.

The Muppet Show with special guest Peter Sellers - Cigarettes, Whiskey, & Wild Wild Women

This next one reminds me more of Carline Smith & The Goodnight Sleeps.

Oh and I'll ask again... KEXP are you hiring???

I Don't Know...

Why is this guy not huge in the U.S.?  He is literally playing in front of thousands of people in Europe... and he is opening for Drop Kick Murphys in March at a CLUB here in Nashville.  I can't wait for this.

Frank Turner - I Am Disappeared


Frank Turner - I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous


Frank Turner - Long Live The Queen


There are plenty more great songs, but that's a good start I think.  Enjoy

Wow...

Sorry, but this is a way better version than what's on the album.  Again, wow.

Aloe Blacc - Green Lights

Odd Video...

But I am so glad these guys have new music.  Great song.  They are so much fun.

Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness


Here's a couple older tunes too...

You might recognize this from a Budweiser commercial.
Los Campesinos! - You! Me! Dancing!


Los Campesinos! - The Sea Is A Good Place To Think About The Future

I'll admit...

I thought this music was created by a female.  Either way it is beautiful and was perfect live.  Really impressed by this kid.  Quite comforting man.

The first video is an official release...  The second video is live from the show I saw here in Nashville, TN @ The Basement.

Youth Lagoon - Montana


Youth Lagoon - Posters
