I stumbled across this song earlier in the week and I had to share. Kathleen Edwards is a guilty pleasure of mine. She can shred on the guitar and writes a fine song, her music reeks of quality. I love the images she uses for this tune. Hopefully you will too.

Artist: Kathleen Edwards
Song: Buffalo

The summer months left me alone
But the fall rolled in on the back of a storm
In the night you and I drove
Have you ever seen lightning and snow?

All these weeks without a note
It's like a ticking clock
Every time that you phone
I've run aground truth be told
And when it comes to me
I'll let you know

Don't be like that

Just my luck an Irish rose
In a drinking hole
I'd played a thousand one shows
What you need is to just go home
And when it comes to you
Don't leave it alone

Don't be like that

Up ahead the roads were closed
And the Gennys ran most of Buffalo
The customs man at border control
Said yes you can go
But you won't make it home

Don't be like that

It's play list time again. I am starting to dig coming up with eight songs at a time to share. Its a challenge and a quest. I am feeling some nice Pop vibes right now, so dig it. I am also going to include another random picture. Enjoy.

Hit play and judge me...harshly.

Cee-Lo has a voice that speaks to me. It is so expressive, I am buying whatever he is selling. This is one of my favorite Neo-Soul songs of the last few cycles. I think that people wrote these guys off after "Crazy" but they are still very relevant and stoking some fire on stage as well. I hope you enjoy.

Artist: Gnarls Barkley
Song: St. Elsewhere

I packed a few of my belongings
Left the life that I was living
Just some memories of it
Mostly the ones I can't forget

Whenever you need me I'll be here
Until then my dear
I'm going, I'm going, going there

Don't ask me to make time
To travel back and forth
Let nature take its course
Maybe I'm open from all this ocean air

And if it weren't for you I'd be without
A care setting sail to St. Elsewhere

Anywhere you sit you can see the sun
Unfortunately on this island I'm the only one

And same rules apply on a rainy day
Then it's not such a pretty place to be
It just rains and rains and rains on me

Send a simple sign I can understand
Then a flower grew out that sand
Before you know it I was back out on that sea
Now I don't mind it so much because it's normal
I'm not there, anywhere, St. Elsewhere

Way over yonder there's a new frontier
Would it be so hard for you
To come and visit me here?
I understand
Well just send me a message in a bottle then baby

The Good Old Days

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Dog again this weekend. This time I wanted to share the experience so I took my camera. The Cave singers opened for Dr. Dog at my favorite dive bar/music venue, Bottletree. I have been a big fan of these gents the last few years and I have blogged about them a few times here as well. They have a very enthusiastic live show. I saw license plates all the way from North Carolina, so I guess the secret is out. The set list was great and so was the energy from the band and crowd. Here is a favorite off the new disc and some photos from the road...with Dr. Dog.

Artist: Dr. Dog
Song: My Friend

My friend says that the end holds nothing more
He don't hide his shame
says its all the same
Like a man without a name
Old days asleep in the shade by the Brandywine
See a dog get paid
see a boy behave
Every bone deserves a grave
But I heard the Good Lord's warning
like he might not forget by the morning
With no more terrifying thoughts of dying
ooh oooooh oooh
My Lord, I'm climbing aboard and I'm going home
No time to lose, no time to pack
Take a step and take it back
But I heard the Good Lord's warning
like he might not forget by the morning
With no more terrifying thoughts of dying
ooh ooooh oooh

Keep on with the living you'll soon enough be dead
You got the whole world spinning in your head
and you don't want to give it up (don't give it up, don't give it up)
Cause no one should be sorry
we're just another day
You can say you'll be back
but you won't ever go away (won't go away, won't go away)
Cause love that never leaves is never ever welcome back
and i'm running out of skin thick enough to hide in (won't go away, won't go away)
Now hand in hand we're back in time we're chasing the train
Looking back looking back to wave goodbye
we're headed for the same disaster (don't give it up, don't give it up)
