Laura Marling – A Creature I Don’t Know
Laura Marling is quite the prodigal child, although not a child, but so youthful for a person with such amazing music writing ability. Her first album, Alas I Can Not Swim, was released in 2008 (the same year she won the Mercury Music Prize), where she became a fairly staple name on the indie/folk music scene.
Birds of a Feather III
The Ladybirds' music and vocal ranges from sassy devil-may-care attitude on "Who You With?" to heart-broken girl on "Let's Start A Family (Tonight)" to semi-independent woman on "I'm Gonna Scream".
Their versatile theme can best be sum up on their "Stay Gone" song, which is split in parts one and two. The first is a slow, sad reflection ... while part two brought the song to an all-out crazy apes rock.

Jazz Note #16 – Name That Tune
I’m not a big fan of hastily put together cover albums, especially when the musical cannon comes from the Disney Vault. It seems every song that has been done has been covered again. Do we really need another rendition of “It’s a Small World” after hearing Slim Whitman and The Baha Men? But even with my reservation, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with Everybody Wants to be a Cat.

W♥M115: God Help the Girl
I thought I'd drop this off: I've previously heard the single "Come Monday Night" by God Help the Girl, but never really got around to picking up the actual album - that is until a few months ago - when I was in Canada. I saw they were selling the album for $1.99. No sale, no clearance, that was the regular price. I couldn't believe it, I picked up all the copies they had in the store.
