I really should have put this up a while ago, but here it is. I hate writing the little synposis' of the artists and I am awful at them, so don't trust those and just listen.

1. Klima
I was so entranced with her voice, nothing is more peaceful to me than listening to "Fluorescent Stars" in my bed.
Klima - The City

2. Laura Marling
I can tell that Laura is going places, her lyrical talent I'll compare to Fiona, which I don't normally do.
Laura Marling - Ghosts
Laura Marling - New Romantic

3. Timber Timbre
They're the folkiest stuff I have, and I adore it. I feel like he is in my room singing to me. ("Oh Messiah" and "Patron Saint Hunter" are so euphoric to listen to)

Timber Timbre - Like A Mountain
Timber Timbre - Beat the Horse

4. Diane Cluck
Just love. I am enamored with Diane, though sometimes she's TOO folky for me. But I picked a lovely song to share with you.
Diane Cluck - The Turnaround Road

5. Wildbirds & Peacedrums
They're out there. But I love them, I love their music, I love the name of their band and their album title: Heartcore. Very talented couple.

Wildbirds & Peacedrums - Doubt / Hope
Wildbirds & Peacedrums - The Window

6. Uh Huh Her
I hated the shit that Leshia Haley (L Word) did before this band and was a little hesitant to even listen to Uh Huh Her, but I adore it.
Uh Huh Her - Not A Love Song

7. Union of Knives
I don't normally like dance muisc, but I love these guys
Union of Knives - Operated On
Union of Knives - Evil Has Never

8. Beth Hart
I love throaty vocals and angst-ridden/troubled musicians, and Beth fills that void.
Beth Hart - Heaven Look Down
Beth Hart - Burn Chile

9. Carina Round
I'm tired of writing these. Just listen. I love her, that's all you need to know.
Carina Round - Paris
Carina Round - Into My Blood

10. Santogold
I'm not as dazzled with her as some other people are, but I do think she has some awfully catchy stuff and creates worthwhile-as-a-whole albums
Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes
