Podcast 8 – Everyday and Nowhere

Submitted by on September 18, 2006 One Comment

This week’s podcast definitely plays to the softer side, from Allison Crowe, to Naked to 3 Blind Mice. All of the songs this week have a definite slow beat a

Song1 – Midnight by Allison Crowe

Allison Crowe
Allison Crowe (born November 16, 1981) is a singer-songwriter and pianist from Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada who now lives in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada.

Crowe’s most mentioned characteristics are her remarkable live performance ability and her distinctive voice, the natural force of which has been compared to that of Mahalia Jackson. “With the soul of Janis Joplin and the tenderness of fellow Canuck Sarah McLachlan, Crowe rocks with her own unique brand of roots charm.”

Song 2 – There you are by 3 Blind Mice

3 Blind Mice

3 Blind Mice hail from the UK. Consisting of Alex Grayson, Lyndon Connah and Sean Kane they offer an acoustic mix that blends different elements of Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell and others. They list the Beatles, Zeppelin and Weather Report as influences. This particular song reminds me of the Finn Brothers (of Crowded House) in its melody and lyics which is no small accolade

Song 3 – Sea World by Naked

Naked

“Sea World” cooks up a storm venturing into acid-jazz/drum ‘n bass territory that features some hairaising flute & vocal.

As a vocalist, saxophonist, flautist, pianist and percussionist, Koalin gives true meaning to that frequently used word, multi-instrumentalist. And now, as the main creative force behind Naked, she’s adding songwriting and production skills to her ever-expanding musical talents.
Fine art and physical accomplishments aside, it is unquestioningly music that infuses Kaolin’s life and drives this remarkable woman’s unceasing quest for new creative horizons.
