Ryan Adams – “In The Shadows”, “This is Where We Meet in My Mind” and “Loaf of Bread”

From the title, this article might seem like a little bit of an overload because there are three songs included here instead of one, but that only means that you are going to be subjected to more of the beauty that Ryan Adams creates than just one measly song.

Last night Ryan Adams was in London and played two songs that are going to be coming off of his newest album (and there is basically no sound except for him in these recordings which makes me wonder the enthusiasm level British people have for Adams). These songs include “In the Shadows” and “This is Where We Meet in My Mind”; the third song, “Loaf of Bread” is just an improvised song in which you can hear faint laughter (seriously London, can you show that you like him just a little?). “In the Shadows” is an upbeat song mostly about driving around at night, with a quick, little, crafty guitar solo thrown in there for good measure. “There is Where We Meet in My Mind” is just the faintest bit depressing (per usual for Adams’ older work), and has a nice bluesy feel which is really brought to light because of the amazing backing band he was playing with.

Makes me excited for what Adams will be putting out next! Hopefully he will keep dropping new songs throughout his touring, but, until then, download these three tracks right here on Dropbox. Enjoy!

Toughcats – “Somebody Old” Music Video

The Toughcats from Maine have an original sound, energy and magnetic vibe that make you want to listen to their songs in any mood. They just released a new music video for their song “Somebody Old” from their album Run from the Mill, which you can view below. You’ll love it if you’re a fan of stop motion.

99 Problems Music Video

I’ve stumbled across a few good music videos today, this one being a live version of Hugo’s 99 Problems. If you haven’t heard this song I can tell you one thing, you gonna love it. It’s perfect getting over a girl music. Below is both the live music video, along with the original, which is too badass not to have on our blog.

Dawn Landes – Young Folk (Peter, Bjorn & John Cover)

I’m pretty hesitant about posting this. A cover of Peter, Bjorn & John’s “Young Folk” with a bluegrass/folk spin. It’s different, yes, but still really good. I find something really wholesome about the video too (I think it’s the older men singing and playing instruments). Listen to more of Dawn Landes here!
