The Lumineers

Okay...I have a new favorite group.  I feel a little behind the curve on this one since they seem to have quite a following building up around them.  Maybe you have heard of them - The Lumineers?  I discovered them just the other day on Daytrotter and now I am super excited that their debut album is coming out March 2012!  Until then, I have my Daytrotter session downloaded and just wait.  :)

And to hook you to this amazing group, check out this video!

All that time & The way sound leaves the room - Sarah Jaffe

I just saw these videos and had never heard these songs from Sarah Jaffe until now.  What a beauty they are!  I can't wait for her new album that comes out September 27!

Okay...while we are on the subject of music

You have to check this out!  Rachael Yamagata is utterly amazing!

A dose of good tunes

Ahhh...my spirits are up now that I received a very special package in the mail yesterday from my new friend, who just happens to be on another continent 18 hours ahead of me.  Mrs. Peterson of Mrs. Peterson Pottery was kind enough to share some of her favorite Australian-based music with me.  She has created a monster!  I love it all!  I have had the music for roughly 24 hours and am already catching myself humming the tunes (you would not want to hear me actually try to sing--agghhh--we will leave that to the professionals), anticipating listening to them again! 

One of my favorite songs of the mix is "For You" by Angus & Julia Stone.  I hope that I am not the only one who had never heard of this lovely brother/sister duo.  This song is particularly tender and I think her delicate voice suits it so perfectly! 

Thank you so much Mrs. P for sending a little music love my way!  You are the best!

And for anyone else who happens to take a look at this blog, run (c'mon, scoot it!) to Mrs. Peterson's Etsy shop and take a gander!  I bet you will want one of everything there!  And check out her website as well to find out even more about her gorgeous work.
