John Butler Trio. One Way Road.

Every now then a song takes me hard and fast. Here’s the video of One Way Road by the John Butler Trio. I really dig the intention and spirit of this song, not to mention it’s got a great rhythm and guitar. I love the lyrics too, so I’ve put another video of the song with the lyrics below.

With Lyrics…

I went to Paris with Michael Schneider a few weeks ago and met with Delphine and Emmanuel from Because Music. Delphine gave us heaps of music that I’ve been listening to a lot. One artist, John Butler Trio, and his song One Way Road have really captivated me as of late. There will be more posts to come as I get compelled to share more nuggets of goodness from this pile of newly acquired tunes.

Rubbish

I caught this pic last week at Upfront’s office in London. Can’t say we didn’t deserve this after those 8 years.

Beast — Mr. Hurricane

I was sharing a cab with a Topspin band in London on Friday evening heading from the PIAS office back to my new home in Shoreditch and heard the lead singer mention the band Beast. Wikipedia entry here. He gave it his strong recommendation so I had to check it out. Mr. Hurricane was the first song I heard from Beast, and it captured me quick with it’s indie-rock and hip-hop stylings; some are calling them trip-hip-hop-rock. I live for moments like these when the art form is practically indescribable. I then checked out the video, and it was amazing. I’m not the only one who thinks that as it was nominated for a 2010 GRAMMY for Best Short Form Music Video in the company of Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, and Oren Lavie. I really like what I hear and see, so I’m looking forward to checking them out at SXSW and catching them live when I can. Enjoy:
