Nico Muhly

My friend Koula posted this on her Facebook. I think it's absolutely gorgeous music, and you can stream his latest album at NPR.

Even his website is pretty.
His Twitter, on the other hand, is regular-looking.

The gig just said they wanted me to play music. They didn't say anything about live music. I just pressed play. Easiest gig ever!

Listen to several of their songs at Bandcamp

Benyaro

This band reminds me a little of old David Bowie...without the space references. Even without the space references, Bowie would still great.

Listen to their music on their Facebook and watch live videos. My favorite song is "Dogs". Their website leads to their CDBaby site.

I'm thinking the joke I concoct will have something to do with Old Spice commercials...or maybe those Dos Equis commercials...yessss...

"Ladies...when I'm not drinking Dos Equis, I'm listening to the smooth sounds of Benyaro."



**By the by - the Dos Equis guy has a fansite with quotes.

Dark Mean, "Happy Banjo"

(This is another song. The video keeps buffering me. That could be my connection.)

I would link to the website they have on their FB, but it goes to a link farm. Busted!
