Wow, life comes at ya fast...

It's been one insane week here, and it's not over yet...mostly because the weather is hovering closer to 90 degrees than anything else lately in LA. It's a strange feeling. It feels like it should be May or June. Wearing shorts in January is just not right. At any rate, on to the music.

Andy Zipf

This guy is actually more famous than you would think. He's based out of DC, but his music has garnered attention from some of the more famous American publications and news media broadcasts. He sounds a bit like Amos Lee, at least in the overall approachability of the sound he creates, but he is more diverse and honestly, I think he's more talented. I could see his music being used on soundtracks very easily, but it's also the kind of melodic folky-indie-rock that I'd pop into my CD player when it's a gray day and I wanted something happy that wouldn't distract from the overall melancholy of the clouds. Listen to "Find You". It's catchier than even I would care to admit.
