Greg Laswell’s Cover of “Into the Mystic” Tonight on Grey’s Anatomy!

Greg Laswell will have his ninth song placement on ABC’s hit drama Grey’s Anatomy tonight with his previously unreleased version of Van Morrison’s “Into The Mystic.” (LOVE LOVE LOVE that song!!!) Laswell has already won over several of film and television’s top music supervisors, who have featured his songs in films such as Confessions of a Shopaholic and My Sister’s Keeper, and recent television placements in the season premieres of CBS’ NCIS and NBC’s Parenthood. “Into The Mystic” is available exclusively at iTunes. His third studio album, Take a Bow, is currently #12 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart.

Free Download of “Good Evening” by The Concretes

Click here to watch the new video for "All Day"

With less guitar, more keyboards, more bass, deep vinyl grooves, twitching percussion and some good old cowbell – but still with those trademark melodies – Sweden’s The Concretes are finally back! This time armed with a new album, a new label (Brooklyn-based tastemakers Friendly Fire Recordings), a new singer (Lisa Milberg, though not new to the band, has stepped out from behind the drums to take over vocals for the band after the departure of Victoria Bergsman), and a new lease on life. Their dreamy, ethereal disco-influenced record WYWH will be out on November 8th.

You have to check out their new single, “Good Evening” <—- click to download

Chief – “Breaking Walls”

This song is absolutely AMAZING. It pulls you in from the beginning (which reminded me of Fleetwood Mac) and it keeps you listening with it’s sunny & sad-at-the-same-time melody. Chief released their album Modern Rituals last month, and you can check out the album over at Amie Street and download “Breaking Walls” for free.

Need Smoking Music?

Check out Lance Herbstrong. From electro to dubstep to  drum-and-bass and electronica, Herbstrong’s mixes are as inventive as their name.

These guys played at Lollapalooza last week (anyone see them?), and they’re giving away a couple free tracks of some reggae remixes! I’ve heard it’s great smoke music, too –(uh, I mean…the name is Lance HERBstrong…) so let that be just another incentive to check them out, even if it’s just outta curiousity.

Sparklehorse Frontman Dead

More sad news across music blogs…indie rock band Sparklehorse’s frontman Mark Linkous has taken his own life by shooting himself in the heart at age 47. According to his publicist, Linkous had almost finished working on a brand new Sparklehorse album that was going to be released through Anti-Records.

Go to Sparklehorse’s MySpace page and listen to “Cow” and “Piano Fire.”

Check out Pitchfork’s saddening article: “Artists React to death of Sparklehorse’s Mark Linkous”

MUSICAL MEMORIES

I am looking for EVERYONE’S contributions for a project of mine. You don’t have to know a lot about music, you don’t have to write well, this is something for everyone.

You know how when you hear certain songs, you’re taken back to a different time in your life? Like every time you hear Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” you think about the night you and your college buddies drank too many shots of Surfers of Acid and played too much air guitar?!! Or how Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings” reminds you of helping Grandma clean the house?!

We all have these musical memories. There is a link in the brain between music familiarity, memories and emotions. I’m asking for you to email me YOUR musical memory. It can be heartwarming, funny—anything really. Just start it out with the name of the song and the artist, then tell me your story that goes along with it. By emailing me your musical memory you give me permission to use it for possible publication (so if you don’t want you real name used, let me know!). 

I’m going to be working out some sort of incentive for this, too — it will have something to do with Visa gift cards and/or mix cd’s.

Thanks!!! 🙂
