Ben Sollee - Close to You

I think Ben Sollee might be gunning for the award for most music videos made in the shortest amount of time. I'm not complaining, but he's just churning them out. Here's the video for "Close to You," it's a lot of fun to watch:

Ruby Coast - Made to Change

I should have posted about Ruby Coast sooner; actually, I thought I had. They're a great band and they just released a video for one of their songs a couple weeks ago. Check it out, it's called "Made to Change:"

Imaginary Friends

 I'd like to say I knew about Imaginary Friends because of his relation to Local Natives, but I can't. I just stumbled onto his music. I'm truly delighted I did too. It's just great music:

Paleo - Holly Wood

I caught Paleo back in Gainesville when You're so Cool opened for him. I've pretty much been a fan since. A great story behind his touring schedule if you look into it. Here's the video for "Holly Wood" off his new release:

Stuart Newman - Single But Defective

I heard the Eels and Sparklehorse as I started listening to Stuart Newman. It's tastefully minimal and demanding. His album, Single But Defective, finds him matching lightly finger picked guitar with whispered vocals. Give it a listen:

Sophie Madeleine - Song to Fall in Love to

Two things I like: a good song and a pretty girl. In that order too. Sophie Madeleine offers both. I found her about six months ago and have been a fan since. She just released a new Youtube video for "Song to Fall in Love to:"

Dr. Dog

I guess this is when Toby had a damaged voice. If you ever get to see Dr. Dog live, you're in for a treat.
