Sunday Black – Coury Palermo
My good and old friend Coury Palermo has just released a song via Youtube from his forthcoming project, “theminorfall.”
To me, it’s beautiful and sad in the best way.
I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to write and sing with Coury over the years, and I couldn’t be happier for him with this song. This is a perfect realization of his style of music. Lush and harmonic. With a peaceful sense of sadness.
Cheers, buddy. I can’t stop listening.

Let’s SPOON (the band)
I’ve been looking fwd to hearing this for quite some time.
I’m about 4 tracks in as I write this and… wow.
I’m back in school. THIS is music.
Simple. Perfect. And not too literal.
Already looking for tickets for the SF shows.
“I’m writing this to you in reverse. Somebody better call a hearse.”
Damn, Britt

Rap, Pop, Folk, Experimental, Noise, Rock, Indie, Retro, Dance, *cough* Country… and those songs that fit in between.
