There isn’t much not to like about Brandi Carlile. Her songs are straight forward and poignant. Her latest release, By the Way, I forgive you, Is highly excellent and top 20 worthy. For extra credit search out her epic cover version of Elton’s “60 Years On” from Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle symphony.
Live Video of the Day -Rod Stewart (feat. Michael Buble) – It’s a Heartache
Rod Stewart jumps all over and completely owns this live version of the tune made famous by Bonnie Tyler. Michael Buble, adding his vocals toward the end of this live version from the studios of Britain’s BBC-2, turns this video from cool to spectacular.

George Lewis Jr., better known as Twin Shadow is a musician and D.J. Out of Los Angeles, Ca. “Saturdays,” a song that features HAIM on backing vocals is a dance-a-long ear worm sort of song that will put a smile on your face and a pep in your step.

Song of the Day: Erin Enderle – World Without Willie
