>Reverie Sound Revue

>I have only heard two tracks but I can confidently say that Reverie Sound Revue’s new album is a wonderful compliment to the summer weather. It’s light and airy, not anything you’d really love for the lyrical content. But it’s smart and flirty, the lyrics and music sway back and forth quickly and effortlessly.

Lisa Lobsinger is of the Broken Social Scene alumni. She toured with them for a couple of years in 2006 or 2007. She was the ‘other’ girl with the big hair. I really like her music and I look foward to seeing this band live.

Listen to “An Anniversary Away” and “Arrows” here: http://hypem.com/#/search/reverie%20sound%20revue/1/

The original version of “An Anniversary Away” was so much better than this one!

>Zee Avi is pretty lovely.

She has a sweet sound, she’s from Malaysia!! In her song “Bitter Heart” I feel a little bit of a Billie Holiday tendency.

>Away We Go

>I’m seeing this film very soon.

The soundtrack is lovely, because it’s done by the British-born, Scottish-raised Alexi Murdoch. Who writes songs that are perfect for films like this and TV shows like the OC. You probably already know Alexi Murdoch’s “All of My Days” and “Orange Sky”. A little over done but I still love them. He’s a little off-beat as far as singer/song-writers go. Hold on to your hat.

1. All My Days – Alexi Murdoch

>I just found these guys. They’re from Chicago and make really nice music.

I love that I can find a song and realize that I have it already… That’s what happened with the song “Bottles and Bones”, which appears on the ‘Stranger Than Fiction Soundtrack’. Brilliant.

Grizzly Bear and Leslie Feist do “Service Bell” and “Two Weeks”. I really loved her bit in “Two Weeks” it made me remember why I love her so much!

M83 had a contest, for the best music video for “We Own the Sky”, which is my favourite song off of the album.

I like this video, complete sap… I know.

>I’m in love with this type of music. Skip James is the light music I need to get me through this exam period. I especially like his rendition of “Careless Love”.
