A Good Album is always a good album no matter when and where it’s a bit simplified declaration but…Who cares?! When you hear a good one… Oops there it is. The timing, the relevance to other artists and the essence: Good songs and honest lyrics. Cass McCombs is a patient singer songwriter Wit’s End is his fifth album, I think he’s best so far. The mellow 60’s sound, smooth guitars and smart production is “all there” and above all fine songs and melodies that sure will catch your soul. He reminds me good ‘ol artists from back when (60’s era) but McCombs hold the “right-now” potential he’s not a nostalgic-retro fashion bang number.. the album just stands out.

Jimmy Webb - Richard Harris - MacArthur Park

I know I’m not the only one who think that McCombs’s album spirit reminds Jimmy Webb..but again hell with it..I added (Below) Webb & Richard Harris "MacArtur Park" (listen to this right after you’re done listen to Cass’s Album :))

Lykke Li

25 years old . .Lykke Li (RN : Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson) is a talented Swedish Pop-Indie singer. Caught my ears lately… Her first LP Youth Novels (Produced by Björn Yttling - Peter Bjorn and John) was a good starter. And I bet Lykke’s seconded one (out “soon”) is much better.

Lykke a pop star with a message…Good voice with a very promising future..

Get Some…a new fine track.. **look for the Beck remixes

From the first LP..but this one is a cute bathroom remix:)

Usually I’m posting materials from new albums or albums due to be release soon. This one I saved for later. Avi Buffalo (Bands names often sounds stupid but who cares about the names..) are an indie-folk-pop”ish” band from California (with age average of 19yrs or so). Avi’s first album is a sweet experience that blends 60’s pop (with tastes from the Beach Boys and the golden ages of flowers are there..and the 70’s “feel” is a member) updated folk and pop approach and well played electric guitar. The songs are melodic vocals are high the production decisions are “there” and The band led by Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg created a most recommended summer album for all..
