Simon & Garfunkel: Sound of Silence
Just beautiful.
Starsailor: Silence is Easy
As promised yesterday, Starsailor rings out again from A Track a Day. This single, taken from their second album copies the blueprint of their earlier work… sympathetic lyrics, strong vocals mix to create a sound that is unmistakably Starsailor. They are not pushing any new boundaries here, but with their previous work being so [...]
Starsailor: Poor Misguided Fool
Starsailor came on to the music scene in the early 2000’s, but it wasn’t until recently that I started listening them, thanks to a ’similar artists’ list from last.fm.

Warren Zevon: Werewolves of London
From the humorous,

this is a song that you probably should stay away from if you’re planning on going to bed sometime soon. You don’t want to [...]

nce upon a time I was involved in a not so well known sport called Octopush, or Underwater Hockey. Our team were the Metrodome Barracudas, our home pool was in Barnsley, and we battled against nearby clubs such as the Sale Sharks, Sheffield Stingrays and the Batley Argonauts. On one occasion, we [...]
