My favorite song from Bleu’s album “A Watched Pot.” This official video was directed and photographed by David J Dowling. In addition to the excellent music, the video features portraits of really stunning young women.

HELP SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MUSICIAN, JUSTIN KLINE.
Justin Kline has done some great work with his “Six Songs” EP. Recently, his new album was stolen, when a thief broke into the Nashville Studio he was recording in and took all the gear including the recordings. Please help him rebuild and release his next EP. This same thing happened last year to Bryan Scary and it’s really difficult to get through – his album is being self funded as well.

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals do a great job here. Doing a cover of of The Jefferson Airplane classic “White Rabbit” for Almost Alice, a collection of tracks inspired by Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland – a few years earlier I reviewed the band’s last album.

If you enjoy the whimsy of Anglo-pop (Yes, I’m talking to you fans of Pugwash and The Duckworth Lewis Method) Patrick and Eugene are a a wonderfully quirky duo with a vaudevillian approach. Lots of fun here – album review coming soon.

How do you know when a song is classic? When someone else can cover it and it still sounds amazing. An acoustic rendition of “This Is Your Life” (from Jackdaw4’s ‘Gramophone Logic’). Guest vocalist Givvi Flynn takes lead vocals here and she knocks it out of the park. Both of Jackdaw4’s albums Gramophone Logic and Bipolar Diversions are now available as high quality downloads from Bandcamp. Both albums are what I consider exemplary of modern power pop.

December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas)” is a holiday single released by George Michael on December 25th, 2008. The track originally had been written for the Spice Girls, but never made it and was then going to be given to Michael Buble, but ultimately George sang it himself. It is scheduled to be released commercially in December 13, 2009, but this delightful video is viewable now. It’s a slow ballad with a gorgeous bridge in the chorus. Why can’t we get more presents like this? More info at George Michael’s site
