i think it should be rather well known amongst friends that i am a giant jens (yens) lekman fan. he is funny, sincere, and a master at crafting catchy melodies. but instead of giving you an original tune, i'll give you a tune you've likely heard whether you remember it or not. but it's also a song he schmaltzes the crap out of with nearly nasaly croons and impossibly dry delivery.
next is a song by someone who was recently on the blog, eugene mcguinness. this crafty briton is doing much to earn your attention, but he just isn't getting it. that's a crime, pro bono. i will be sharing with you a track off the record "the early learnings of eugene mcguinness" that shows you his more childish, softer side. recommended!
here's a mississippi dude writing a song for a sally from brooklyn. well, its really about his inadequacies in getting bodies moving. its really an art no one has perfected. but dent may is well on his way towards perfecting the art of making living in a double wide awesome (apparently he may have moved out of said double wide) and songwriting (in fact, this is pretty clearly the theme of this entry, KICKASS LYRICISTS). Definately check out his forthcoming album released this tuesday. furthermore, thanks to nathan bedsole for mentally birthing this whole entry earlier this morning. we will be linking to his radio show soon enough when it makes more sense timewise.
This is the final, and definately oddest song on this entry. it's a cover of man on the moon by REM by shout out louds. it doesn't really sound like either REM or shout out louds, but really a cape cod kwassa kwassa remix of something. with that in mind this is an oddly satisfying cover. good stuff.
