Brian Fallon - Forget Me Not

| Keith
Stacy, I'd like to take you to a movie
In a world without a death wish
On a night under the fireworks in heaven
Oh but Stacy
Baby, you can take me anywhere
Because I get a lot of low downs
So just put me in the cold ground and visit
Oh, but what if
What if my soul was still trembling?

Let's keep the Americana vibe going, shall we? Brian Fallon has one of my favorite voices and I'm so happy he's keeping things going with his solo work. His new single "Forget Me Not" could have been pulled off just about any Gaslight Anthem album and it's a terrific track for an American holiday. The new album is out early next year and he's got a tour going to support it, so you know I'll be catching him in Austin.

Dave Hause - With You

| Keith

Philly rocker Dave Hause, formerly of The Loved Ones, was one of the opening acts for Beach Slang the other night. Sadly, we only caught a couple songs, but what we did catch was great. He's got a straight-forward punk-by-way-of-Americana sound that is best heard live, which leaves me with regrets. Oh well, hopefully, he'll be back around soon.

P!NK- What About Us

| Kerri

We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willin', we came when you called
But man, you fooled us, enough is enough, oh

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?

P!NK keeps raising the bar for what's possible in performance. Did you see her "Beautiful Trauma" AMAs act?!? Literally dancing & doing acrobatics on the side of a 34 story building, live and without missing a note or getting out of breath! (Wanted it to be a full bonus video but can only find short clips in HD. Side note: Check out Christina Aguilera's tribute to Whitney Houston from the same awards show.) As ya know, I love her voice, her power, and what she stands for. Picked this song off her new album because when I saw her perform it on SNL a few weeks back it made me cry. At first blush, seems like a standard (especially for her) break-up song but careful listening makes me think this is more existential. I think she's either talking to a god or a government or something like that. Been a rough year in a lot of ways. Hope she inspires you like she does me.

Sjowgren - High Beam

| Keith
And I don't wanna spend a lifetime
Worried about the side lines
What other people are saying about me
About me
About me

One of our favorite tracks from 2016 was Sjowgren's "Seventeen" and I think I speak for Kerri as well when I say we've been eagerly awaiting some more from them. Well, hooray! We've got some more Sjowgren and its sounding super. The latest of several fantastic new tracks is "High Beam", an upbeat tune that's perfect for a crisp, sunny, Sunday afternoon.
