Best of

igAsh's favorite songs of 2007, with {some} free downloads!

I made a 'Best of '07' compilation for coworkers and thought I'd share my picks with you, in no particular order. Hope you've got a little time to spare!

All downloads have been posted with permission from the bands themselves. Thanks bands!

 

1. Nicole Atkins and the Sea: "The Way It Is"

I think this is my favorite song of the year. Here's the clip from Letterman.

 

 

2. Peter Bjorn and John: "Young Folks"

I'm such a sucker for whistling. And isn't this the most visually satisfying video ever.

Latest comment by: Levi: "I just remembered the theory I came up with last night but forgot: that song was this year's "feel good hit of the summer," hence its inclusion in the song by that name."

Video: Nicole Atkins on Letterman. Holy shite, she's amazing.

Her performance was elegant and spectacular.

Atkins surely brought quite a few fans to the show but I would not be the least bit surprised if she left with many, many more.

Nicole Atkins and the Sea tour release debut record, tour with the Pipettes, appear on Letterman tonight

A pox on you, Sony BMG Music Group, for not having the sense to understand online music blogging! But huge props to whatever A&R person did have the good sense to discover and sign Atkins. Her dreamy, dark stylings and orchestral arrangements are stunning.

Nicole Atkins & Betsy back on; brief break-up chalked up to miscommunication

It was all the venue's fault!

Tonight's Recommended Show: Nicole Atkins and the Sea (in Boston)

New York-based chanteuse Nicole Atkins and her band, the Sea, have captured the heart (and ears ) of TIG Boston-correspondent Betsy Boston, and also amazed me when I had the chance to catch her play at SXSW this year. Perhaps you haven't heard of Nicole yet... but that's surely going to change in the next few months, after she releases her full-length debut on Columbia this summer.

Her dramatic songs are comparable to those sung by Julee Cruise in the Twin Peaks roadhouse — if Atkins stood atop a stage adorned with a red velvet curtain, you’d expect a giant to appear any minute.
