HEAR THIS: POLLY (NIRVANA COVER) AMANDA PALMER

I was just a couple years too young to discover Nirvana on my own, but luckily there was a constant stream of Nevermind from my brothers bedroom. He had long hair and an undercut and I thought he was pretty darn cool. Of course he's married now and wears golf-shirts but he's still rad.

This song was one of my favorites growing up, the whole tone of the album was a little haunting for me but this version even more so. Amanda Palmer is an American singer/songwriter and this is her intimate take on it. Take a listen.

HEAR THIS: COLLEGE FEAT. ELECTRIC YNUTH - A REAL HERO (DRIVE SOUNDTRACK)

Currently on repeat is the soundtrack to Drive, a movie that features Ryan Gosling in one of his best roles to date. The music could not have been paired better. It's makes for fantastic background music (I'm exercising this right now) because it's offers a mix of lonely Euro-pop with an 80s feel and lots of synthesizers. Awesome. Check out my favorite song on the album "A real hero" by College, feat. Electric Youth. 

HEAR THIS: MATT CORBY - BROTHER

My December was a slow and thoughtful one. I am glad to have been able to log off for as long as I did. With a new year beginning I thought it appropriate to show you someone new that I love to listen to. He was a finalist on Australian Idol but has grown immensely as an artist and his vocals are pretty damn amazing. He has become quite the hipster but it suits him. Take a listen to Brother performed live or the recorded version below it. Enjoy... and happy new year.
