News broke yesterday about a Tim Hardin tribute album. Comes out digitally February 12th, and physically February 26th on Full Time Hobby. Tim was an extremely influential singer-songwriter. One of those cats from the 60s that you may not know of but have heard his songs. Check the track list below. It’s a who’s who of indie rock.

Heard this song this AM. Pretty amazing. Brought me to tears.

I promised this awhile ago…

Wild Belle is a trending boy/girl band that makes some crazy psychedelic videos.

Dom La Nena is a Brazilian cellist & vocalist – her album drops January 2013. Sure to be a winner if you dig Brazilian music, which I do.
