TOE JAM MONDAYS: Allen Stone, The Organ, Allo Darlin’ + Voilent Femmes

Posted by:  on Dec 21, 2011

I had to post a video for this song. I had no idea what Allen Stone looked like – and not that it matters – but it’s not what I imagined and I love how he surprised me. His soulful voice and smooth melodies will make anyone a fan. Listen for the falsetto at the [...]



WHERE TO EAT IN T.O.? OPEN TABLE

WHERE TO EAT IN T.O.? OPEN TABLE

Posted by:  on Dec 19, 2011

  Alright folks, here are three more random jams that I was listening to this weekend and thought you might enjoy. Don’t know too much about Murder By Death, but this song had me with what I think is an opening violin. I just love everything about this song. The melody, the words…you get it. [...]

TOE JAM MONDAYS: Future Islands, Jared Mees and The Grown Children + J Roddy Walston & The Business

Future Islands are totally under-rated in my opinion. I love their distinct sound that goes outside the box but doesn’t scare you off. This song showcases their softer side but keeps their signature sound. Love. Future Islands – Where I Found You Jared Mees and The Grown Children found me by accident, but I fell [...]
