american art!

[parousia37]

Check out singyourselfagrave. Best Wishes, Noel. is downloadable on his myspace page, download it and listen through it. You will be pleasantly invited into the creative and diverse realm of one of my favorite singer/songwriters. singyourselfagrave to me is Jazzy at times, ambient and full of angst at others. At times it might remind you of Say Anything and at others, you will be at a loss for who it reminds you of. The lyrics are clever and each song is a brand new experience. It's better than most thing currently on NPR in my personal opinion, Songs to check out would be, well all of them, but ones I would personally highlight would be "About Love II," "Get Off the Stage" and "Relationship Sinking." I know I typed a lot but I really support his music and I think you will too. Check him out!
