what i'm listening to

here are a few new artists you should check out (but not on streaming internet radio today):

1. nathan angelo.
i was half-way home from the birchmere on sunday night when i realized someone had put something on my windshield. when i got home i took it off and it said "who is nathan angelo?" that's all. genius advertising if you ask me - i immediately when and googled him. and i really like his music (his entire cd streams at his site). and an added bonus - he's playing sunday night at jj!

2. rodrigo y gabriela.
no, they don't sing. but their tunes are so catchy. odds are that you've heard "tamacun," but you can head over to their myspace page to hear some of their other songs.

3. feist.
she was introduced to me late saturday night (well really it was early sunday morning). but i listened to it again in the daytime and i really like it. you can hear snippets of her songs on the website.

4. ingrid michaelson.
i "discovered" ingrid when she opened for josh kelley at the birchmere a few months back. i (obviously) bought her cd and can't get enough. you might even recognize some of her songs from grey's. and she's coming to jj as well (on july 17th).

5. ryan shaw.
i heard him open for joss stone two weeks ago at wolftrap. man is he good! i'd describe him as a mix between robert randolph and stevie wonder - definitely two of my faves! go check out some of his songs on his site or his myspace.
