RIP, Mr. Robert B. Sherman

some news...

Two things that I want to quickly post - the first about something that's been released; the second about something to be released... & the third is just a reminder.

1) Joel Larmer released his first single [ever] just today.  Locally & very much homegrown talent has brought him to this point; & after recording his songs in the studio just a couple months ago, he's starting to get his name out more & more.  Most recently, he's been doing some touring with another local (but well-known) band by the name of ...to tell.
Check out the new single here, & watch for more awesome stuff to come!

2) & as mentioned, something to be released: some news concerning Starflyer 59... not a clue what, but something tomorrow... possibly on their Twitter...  Stay tuned...

3) Just a reminder you can still subscribe to the somewhat daily 'songs of the day' on my Facebook page.

That is all.
& have a good night.

Chasing Color - by The Canvas Waiting (& change up...)

So, as the end of the school year draws near for me, I'm getting busier & busier... plus, there's other non-school related stuff building up too.  That said, I'm going to just post the songs & song links on Facebook (I'll still post the free download links here... perhaps once a week or something).

You can, however, subscribe to me on Facebook, as the 'songs of the days' are public... here:

Don't fret, however - the 'surprise' I mentioned the other week will still happen... just not quite yet.

So: as a final post (in THIS place) -
The Canvas Waiting is based out of Austin, TX.  They've released a couple of EP's since their inception in 2005, their 3rd & latest being "Chasing Color" - released independently on November 9th, 2010; there is also supposed to be new music coming sometime this year.  This song is from "Chasing Color".

Days Like Today - by Coincidence Maybe

Mmmmmm....
Coincidence Maybe is based out of Nashville, TN.  The vocalist/lyricist/guitarist & drummer/bg vocalist duo (who have hired other musicians from time to time) have thus far independently released a handful of collections, starting with their 2002 "The Fall of October".  Most recently, they've released a CD/DVD combo called "The Evidence Vol. 1" in the past year.  This song, however, is from their 2010 EP "The Essence Project".

Daydream Believer - by The Monkees (RIP Davy Jones)

I meant to post this yesterday, but ran out of time, so here it is tonight.
Davy Jones (b.1945, in England) was the lead vocalist for The Monkees, who recorded such hits as "I'm a Believer"; "Valleri"; &, of course, "Daydream Believer".   Sadly, he passed away yesterday after a heart attack at age 66.  In honour...
