“The Velvet Chameleon” was compounded by the musician/songwriter Adarsh Fernando. The track "No Dice" features sounds reminiscent of those from Robin Pecknold with a certain vocal sting that adds nicely  to a wailing guitar. What a treat. - Scott B.

I Saw Your Picture Today By Scott B.

Tell me what to say or even what to think,
tell me I look good as i throw up in your sink.
Down again up again down again,
when will this screech to halt, happiness begin!
Its like the world shrinks down into the palm of my hand,
When your face is visible, its hard to just stand,
here and take what I deserve and let you ruin my attitude,
I put such anger on board, just to see if you'd disapprove,

Chorus: so fuck off, step back, I've got two fists and theyre swinging,
Opened my mouth and forced air out, it just resulted in singing,
Im not a fighter but I wish I could pin your stupid ass on the ground!

Years and years pass, still I can't seem to forget,
cant we both make some progress? Just the tiniest bit,
would do me good... You know that it would so get out!
Out of this town where all this shit started,
The teens on these streets all end up broken hearted,
Keep your feelings to yourself, I like when you dont exist,
Miles away from anybody I know, and still emotions persist,
Get out of my head like you stormed out of my world,
Ill always rue the day I fell for such a egotistical girl!

Chorus: so fuck off, step back, I've got two fists and theyre swinging,
Opened my mouth and forced air out, it just resulted in singing,
Im no fighter but I wish I could pin your stupid ass on the ground!

Bernard Herrmann - Taxi Driver (theme)

One of the greatest film scores of all time, Bernard Hermann's score for Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" is both haunting and beautiful. This was unfortunately the legendary composers last score, as he died soon after completing it (the film is in fact dedicated in his honor).

Brian Eno - Baby's on Fire

A great song from the legendary Brian Eno. Some great guitar work in this one.

Girls - Jamie Marie (Live)

An ode to lovers lost by the fabulous Girls. Such a great tune.

An interesting little diddy from Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood. This piece was featured in the experimental film "Bodysong", as well as Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 masterpiece "There Will Be Blood".

SBTRKT - Right Thing To Do Ft. Jessie Ware

You can't help but tap a foot to a SBTRKT beat. This is a good song to do some running to, maybe a little workout sesh. Killer beat and smooth and sexy vocals will have your ears in a frenzy. This is bomb. You can catch SBTRKT on March, 24, 2012 at The Orpheum. If you are in the area I'd say be there!

Honey (Acoustic) - Sun Hotel on Liveset

Sun Hotel is a little group from New Orleans who has been recently playing shows all across the south land. We caught their show when they passed through Houston. Their Set kept the crowd enticed throughout, it was pure magic. Songs that make you want to nod your head and sell your soul to mother music filled the atmosphere. Anyway, here is an acoustic rendition of one of our favorite Sun Hotel jams.
