alright, some of this isn’t really new music, but it may be for you. check out these tunes, if you haven’t yet sampled the delectable melodies…

Joshua James, “FM Radio”
i learned of Joshua James through an iTunes discovery download a couple weeks back; this song is sad as all hell, but it’s also beautiful and exquisite.

Unkle Bob, “Swans”
Unkle Bob has been a “friend” of mine on myspace for at least a year now; they just got this song on Grey’s Anatomy, so people in the States are finally starting to catch on. goofy name, great music.

Acceptance, “Take Cover”
you might know their song “Different,” but you should check out the rest of this record — since recording it they’ve broken up, which is a tragedy, because this is a fantastic bunch of tunes.

David Bazan, “How I Remember”
front man of “Pedro The Lion,” Dave Bazan is one of the best lyricists out there. this is from his newest EP.

Jon McLaughlin, “Industry”
i heard his song “Beautiful Disaster” on XM the other day and checked him out on iTunes — i’m diggin’ this song a LOT.

David Crowder* Band, “Oh the Glory of It All”
David Crowder and Crew are some of the most progressive musicians on the planet. check out this new song straight from Passion ‘07.

Alexi Murdoch, “All My Days”
if you’re into melodramatic nighttime tv soaps, you might remember Alexi’s song “Orange Sky” from The OC Mix 1. this is an amazing song from his newest cd.

The Feeling, “Never Be Lonely”
these guys are UK imports, but they’re not brooding brit-pop — this is happy, fun, dance-a-jig-to-it pop. love it, you will!

Butterfly Boucher, “A Bitter Song”
you probably remember Butterfly’s song “Another White Dash” from a couple years ago; this is her newest single, also recently featured on Grey’s Anatomy. it’s from her new album, not even out yet, but the label let her release this song as a single after the tremendous response from the show.

UPDATE: Mika’s wonderful, amazing, fantabulous album “Life In Cartoon Motion” released yesterday in the US! Get it on iTunes!
