Well, the first week of school is done and I am happy. I'm going to try to continue this blog of mine whenever I have some free time, so hang tight. Doing this for Lucastile, my other south city boys, jeffrey82 (who I suspect is john),  and whoever else reads this crap! (by crap, i mean the stuff from the heart. aww..) More good music to come!

Peter Bradley Adams

LeavetakingPeter Bradley Adams
"I'll Forget you" (mp3)
from "Leavetaking"
(Sarathan Records)

Attempting to find an appropriate song for my very last day at IODA (tear), I think i've found a winner by an artist named Peter Bradley Adams. Although the name of the song isn't all too fitting, the feeling of it is. 

Before deciding to make albums of his own, Adams had a thriving career in film and TV scoring. His second solo album "Leavetaking" is a gorgeous masterpiece of soulful singing and beautiful instrumentals that I highly recommend checking out.

So what are you waiting for? Download the free track already and imagine me as a cowboy riding out into the sunset... sorta.. kinda.. ish.

Passenger

Wicked Man's RestPassenger
"Night Vision Binoculars" (mp3)
from "Wicked Man's Rest"
(Cooking Vinyl USA)

From Brighton, UK comes this 5-piece band, Passenger. Best described as pen guitar-driven songs, this band creates a kind of fun, alt-pop sound which reminds me of another band from Brighton, the Kooks.

This track is off their brand new album "Wicked Man's Rest" which was released yesterday. It's a fun little song, so if you just feel like chillin out, rockin your head a bit, tapping your leg, clappin, any or all of the above, definitely give it a listen.

If you're in the San Francisco area and want to check out this band live, they are playing at the Swedish American Hall on August 13th, and also... I'll be there!
