Song Of The Day: Kasey & Matt
Kathleen Edwards – “Soft Place To Land”
Spicing things up a bit in here with a joint song of the day!!
Kasey and I had the pleasure of seeing the amazing singer/songwriter, Kathleen Edwards this week at the El Rey (as so wonderfully illustrated by the instagram shot above). There were several high points to the amazing show, but one that stuck out to both of us was the song, “Soft Place To Land”. Check it out below to see for yourself…
If you haven’t picked up her newest album, Voyageur…you should!
Thanks to all the folks at Concord, Rounder Records, and Peer Music for having us out to the show!
Music Video: Anya Marina – “Notice Me”
Don’t you miss going to the rollerskating rink? I do…which is why the new music video for Anya Marina‘s single, “Notice Me” is so great! Making it’s exclusive debut on HelloGiggles.com last week, the video shows the the all too familiar plight of a youngster trying to get the attention of a crush…set, of course, in a roller rink.
Check it out above or on HelloGiggles.com…and make sure to pick up the brand new album, Felony Flats!
Enjoy!
SXSW 2012
South By Southwest 2012 has ended but I’m sure most attendees (us included) are still working their way back to full strength following a long few days of music, friends, clubs, walking, and possibly a few drinks. We had a great time in Austin doing all of the above, as well as putting on our Official SXSW Showcase at Maggie Mae’s and watching Milo Greene play all over Austin. Huge thanks to Family Of The Year, We Are Augustines, The Features, Hellogoodbye, Milo Greene, and The Gossip for playing our showcase.
Overall, SXSW2012 was a huge success and we can’t wait to do it all over again next year. Too soon?
Check out our Facebook page for a gallery of photos from our SXSW 2012 experience!

While you are listening, check out Anya’s follow up article “Adventures of a Lady in Rock: Everybody’s Talkin’ (and I Still Can’t Get No…)” on The Huffington Post.
If you aren’t convinced yet, read this wonderful review of Felony Flats in the Portland Mercury.
“…easily Marina’s best work; it’s one of the most effortlessly listenable pop-rock records in recent memory, without a single weak moment among its 10 perfectly paced tracks.”
