VIDEO: Antje Duvekot - "Long Way"

A recent LIVE performance of one of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite artists... Check out the lovely and talented, Antje Duvekot performing "Long Way".

I remember when I saw her perform this song in Athens, GA a couple years ago. (Read about that show HERE.) Took my breath away then, still does now. While Antje has several shows in the US, the Netherlands, and Germany I haven't seen anything for GA yet. (Click HERE for tour dates.) I do hope she comes back soon though! I'd love to see her perform LIVE again!!!

RELEASE: Mr. Little Jeans - Rescue Song

I love love love, Mr. Little Jeans (aka Monica Birkenes). She's easily become one of my favorite artists I've discovered this year. Back in September, in a post featuring her song "Faking Gold", I mentioned the rumor of a possible new single releasing this year. Well, it's not a rumor anymore. YAY! Just got word she's releasing a double A-side single for "Rescue Song"/"Valentine" on November 29th!

You may recognize "Rescue Song" as it's been featured in HP's "Create Amazing" campaign. Check out the video here:

Both songs are incredible. How can you not fall in love with that voice? It's a force to be reckoned with! Wanna hear both songs before the single release? Check out Mr. Little Jeans on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/mrlittlejeans100. Then go get them on 11/29!

VIDEO: Harper Blynn - HALO (Beyonce & Dirty Projectors Cover)

Oh my god! This version of "Halo" is sick!!! I like the original, but this is one of those rare occasions when I think the cover is even better than the original. (Sorry, Beyonce!) Harper Blynn's version rules.

GAYNGS has done an amazing cover of "Eye in the Sky", originally done by Alan Parsons Project. I've always loved this song and hearing it gets me reminiscing on my childhood. The GAYNGS version is a simple one and beautifully done. I like how that is also reflected in their video. Check it out:
