Meet Morgan O’Kane.  Morgan is an intensely talented and exuberant musician from Virginia who frequently plays solo in NY.  My friend Sarah and I had the pleasure of hearing this impromptu performance at Ben Sollee’s show on Sunday night at The Bell House.  Ben had met Morgan on the street earlier that day playing his heart out somewhere in Manhattan and invited him to join him on...

Another Cooke cover.  Ben plays in Abigail Washburn’s Sparrow Quartet and has a burgenoing solo career.  He is an awesome cellist and an inventive folk artist.  Expect to hear a lot more from him. See Ben Sollee live here

Mashup delight - The Kozpod stream
just rewired Joelaz’s last.fm/hypem y! pipe to create the “Kozpod stream.”  kozpod.com (left rail) will now play a track from whatever artist i last listened to - essentially turning me into a nonstop DJ. Y! Pipe + Last.fm + Hypem + Yahoo Media Player + Tumblr = Kozpod fun any great devs know of a way to actually track down the EXACT song i played?

anathallo - The River →
This song is tremendous.  I really love this band.  Anathallo makes very lush, complex, extremely listenable and enjoyable chamber pop.  And unlike most indie chamber pop groups [ahem, arcade fire] they manage to do it without pretension.  This is a tune from their latest album.  Live, these guys are charming and inspiring - some of the best multi-instrumentalists i’ve ever seen.
