SONGbiscuit.

The simple goal of this blog is to post new and unique music by artists you know and many that you don’t, usually via music videos or video recordings of live performances. I keep my ears to the musical railroad tracks of the world, and only the tastiest bits that I find make it into the ‘biscuit mix.

Pokey LaFarge performs Central Time

From Texas to Tennessee, from Chicago to New Orleans, from Oklahoma to Alabama, from Minnesota to the Mississippi Delta and beyond – there’s just something about the part of America encompassed by the Central Time Zone that has cultivated some of the finest music and musicians the world has ever seen.

Among the latest crop of Central Timers is Pokey LaFarge, hailing from central Illinois with his fine old timey sound. This here song is off of Pokey’s latest album, self-titled and released by Third Man Records.

Please Forgive My Heart by Bahamas

Fun video of the analog equipment and other “technology” used to record Bahamas’ brilliant cover of this Bobby Womack tune. This is one of six songs from the recently released iTunes Session EP.

Lianne La Havas performs Lost & Found

Mesmerizingly beautiful. You’ll have no choice but to watch and listen to ever second.

Seems so weird to me that this was performed in a skate park in the UK. I could be wrong, but I just can’t imagine beautiful music like this being performed in an American skate park.

Pretend It’s Love by The Postelles & Alex Winston

Love, love, love this song! As soon as I heard it off of The Postelles’ new albuum …And It Shook Me, I immediately added it to SONGbiscuit 555. Sweet album, sweet song, and now a sweet video, too.

Water Liars perform Linens

I’m really diggin’ this duo from Mississippi! Thanks to a couple of recent complimentary tweets from my favourite Scottish band Frightened Rabbit and their singer Scott Hutchison, I’ve been listening to and loving Water Liars’ new album Wyoming.

Your turn.
