newmoon

Thom Yorke is from Oxford, UK. This is his song Hearing Damage.

As you may have noticed from the album art, this is a song off the soundtrack of the new Twilight movie, New Moon. And what a soundtrack! Death Cab For Cutie, Thom York, Lykkie Li, The Killers, Bon Iver, Sea Wolf, The Editors to name a few. More info and the whole list on Rolling Stone. I can’t wait (ya, I’m man enough to admit a I like Twilight ;) ).

Sara Lov - My Body Is A Cage

Sara Lov

Sara Lov is from Los Angeles, CA. This is her take on a beautiful (albeit very sad) Arcade Fire song, My Body Is A Cage. She recently played with Port O’Brien and Sea Wolf and it was great. Instead of a band she showed up with her vinyl record player. Awesome.

Miro - Allume-moi

Gian Marco Enrico Miroglio, ou tout simplement Miro, est un drôle de petit personnage.

Cette chanson fait partie des «chansons-dont-je-ne-connaissais-pas-l’existence-sur-mon-iPod». Genre, tu fais la vaisselle, la zique fait ce qu’elle a à faire, et tout d’un coup joue un morceau que tu ne connais pas et qui t’oblige à arrêter ce que tu es en train de faire. B’en, c’est ça qui est arrivé avec Allume-moi.

Enjoy!

Miro est un est un auteur-compositeur-interprète français, d’origine italienne.

Le vainqueur jaloux

Allume-moi

Thao - Know Better Learn Faster

Thao

Thao With The Get Down Stay Down is a band based in San Fransisco, CA. This is their song Know Better Learn Faster. This song features violin and whistling from one of my favourite artist Andrew Bird (toune). She will be playing Il Motore on November 2.

I disarm you in the morning
But I was up in arms all night

And now it counts
I am too, too sleepy to fight

Know better. Learn faster.

My sentiments exactly.

Mason Jennings - The Field

masonjennings

Mason Jennings is from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He’s been called the best songwriter you never heard. This is his song The Field and it’s a beautiful song about the personal tragedies of war.

If I was the president, if I was that brave
I would take a shovel then dig each child their graves
If I was the president, and my world turned black
I would want no victory, I’d just want you back
