As I prepare for my annual sojourn to Southeast Asia I depart with a wonderful compilation entitled Sweetheart 2014.
The album consists of handpicked love songs covered by the likes of Beck, Jim James, Fiona Apple, Phosphorescent, Ben Harper, The Head and the Heart, Valerie June, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and a daring choice by Vampire Weekend.
The band chose “Time to Say Goodbye (Con te partirò)” made famous by the great Italian opera tenor Andrea Bocelli.
We’ll hear each version here.

We end 2013 on a happy note.
A little different for this site but the song by Pharrell Williams is irresistible.
“Happy” first appeared in the film Despicable Me 2.
Pharrell, who was featured in one of the songs of the year with Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”, now gives us the very first 24 hour video.
Happy New Year.

One of the delights of the past year has been new music from the indie folk band from Seattle, The Head and the Heart.
“Shake” is from Let’s Be Still.
What a holiday treat!
A free download from St. Vincent.
Annie has just finished touring with David Byrne and her new self-titled album is due in February.

I’m Not a Pilot is a guitar-less band from Milwaukee featuring the cello.
This clever chamber-pop sound can be heard on their latest EP The Story So Far.
It is currently a free download from NoiseTrade.
“No Order” is the lead track.
New releases become fewer as we end the year, but we do have the debut of Jesus Sons, a five-piece garage band from Los Angeles.
