This week’s “Pick of the Week” by the guys over at Bobby Best Creative is Hannah Peel’s cover of Tears for Fears “Head Over Heels”. The instrument featured in the video – the pin-barrel harp (Sharpsichord) – is a programmable mechanically-played harp.

Swervedriver played the Jimmy Fallon show last night. Here is the web-only exclusive of “Deep Wound”.

What do you think? I love the shoegazey guitars.
Next week I’ll be joining Tim and Jay as they record a new Dig Me Out podcast episode. We’ll be reviewing arguably one of my favorite CDs ever … EVER … not just of the ’90s, which is the era the podcast focuses on. Can’t wait to hear what those two think about For Love Not Lisa’s Merge!
The episode should be available for download sometime in mid April. I’ll post a link here once it’s ready.
Here it is, a new Thursday feature. My friends over at Bobby Best Creative have impeccable music tastes and are constantly sending me links to bands/music/videos to check out. Most of the time, they expose me to something new that I’ve never seen or heard before and I usually love it. So why not share that with you? Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the first ever Bobby Best Creative Pick of the Week.
When a bad day has no end in sight and the world is against you, down tools, kick back and listen to Alabama Shakes soulful lead singer Brittany Howard. It aint so bad after all.
