city noise and a gun by the everybodyfields
today’s song of the day is city noise by the everybodyfields… and a gun by the everybodyfields.
since this is a male/female singer-songwriter duo, it only seems right to showcase a song performed by both sam quinn (sam quinn and japan ten) and jill andrews. they’re no longer together, instead doing their own things. sad really. if they tied the knot, maybe we’d score a sweet combo sort of like the weepies. here’s to hoping…
city noise and a gun from live at paste by the everybodyfields ; folk duo 2008.
bonus – worth keeping

when one song isn’t enough (wosie!) – broken hearts and dirty windows
when one song isn’t enough (wosie!), an album deserves a spotlight. a shout out. a holla back. wait, that’s not right. anyway, today’s wosie! is the new compilation album from ohboy records titled broken hearts and dirty windows. the whole album happens to be a tribute to john prine, and each song is an original work from prine that’s been redone by the likes of justin vernon (bon iver), josh ritter, the avett brothers, drive-by truckers, deer tick…
so, to wet your whistle, here’s in spite of ourselves by john prine with iris dement. and since there is no need to reinvent the wheel, here is bhdw’s website that features links to all the artists featured.
from the album (but not live), connor oberst and the mystic valley band (connor oberst = from bright eyes) performing wedding day in funeralville
another from the album, justin vernon’s version of bruised orange (chain of sorrow)
same duo as the album, but liz isenberg and deer tick are rocking out to friday the 13th instead…
another unrelated song from a related artist. those darlins in red light love, this video is uh-mazing!

cinderella by langhorne slim
today’s song of the day was really yesterday’s song of the day, langhorne slim‘s cinderella (lyrics).
what makes this song epic? the lyrics? yes. langhorne slim’s awesome singer-songwriterness? yes. but, really, it’s the little question answer session in the beginning. cinderella? yes my handsome fella. and so on and so forth! epic. freaking epic. ahhhh… horay for the potential of crowd participation. and the piano!
cinderella from be set free by langhorne slim ; anti-folk 2008.
extras: langhorne slim, singing the song ‘lord’ (lyrics).

magazines by brand new
my awesome friend’s even more amazing wife loves brand new. the sweetest, cutest, smilingest blonde girl with a hard rock edge. can you blame her?
as usual, we agree. you’ve probably heard plenty of their stuff, but if you haven’t, take a look. sure, it’s edgy, but just imagine driving in a car, maybe after a breakup in high school or college, just singing-yelling along. epic, no? if you’re saying, this is a rather stark contrast to the americana and indie folk stuff we see so often. well, yes it is. and?
today’s song of the day is the tamer magazines from brand new (lyrics – chords). for harder doses, check the bonus vids (excluding the last, also tamish one) that are up.

please don’t tease by the donnas
today’s song of the day is please don’t tease by the donnas (lyrics). after all the lo-fi indie folk stuff, it’s time for a few more upbeat numbers. here’s the first… just too bad there isn’t a decent stream on the interwebs with it complete.
please don’t tease from spend the night by the donnas ; pop-punk 2002.
