Grab Hold
Great googly moogoolees, you take your eye off the inbox for a few hours and it tears all your sofa cushions to shreds:
++Hard to believe, but Katrina and the Waves'(above) song Walking on Sunshine is turning 25. Lead songwriter Kimberley Rews was the driving force behind the band's success and has been lauded by everyone from Robyn Hitchcock, to Mick Fleetwood and CELINE! Dion.
Brooklyn Vegan is running a feature in which they handselect artists to cover Rews' other work. Listen below:
Kimberley Rew I'm Amazed mp3
++Matthew Houck will be releasing his 5th album as Phosphorescent on May 11th titled Here's To Taking It Easy. This new track, It's Hard to Be Humble When You're From Alabama (via onethirtybpm )finds Houck in a much more upbeat mood than in Wolves, one of my favorite songs in recent memory. Oh c'mon, where's Cali? What do we have, cooties? (Update: Now we're talkin'!! :))
Phosphorescent : It's Hard To Be Humble When You're From Alabama mp3 was here (but Mermaid Parade is better).
(Heh, the full album title was to be Here's To Taking It Easy Tho The Jaws of the World Wish Only To Grab Hold of Your Sweet A--. Is that the Great White Female Wolf in the background? Hmm.) (<<nerd!)
