Happy late birthday MCA and Elliott Smith!!

Here is this weeks playlist.  It's a little longer than the others, but there were two big birthdays, and a lot of music that I just had to listen to.  Most of the groups also have history of members being in other bands before, or after the band that I used.  So there will be info on that with the songs.

Softly In The Sunshine

On Wednesday, the lovely and prolific Laura Marling stopped by the KEXP studios for an in studio performance. I'd heard a few of her songs in the past and kept her on my list of artists to listen to more in depth (if her song the Beast does not entrance you I don't know what will.) Needless to say her set was amazing. I immediately put her fourth album, A Creature I Don't Know, onto my iPod and went about my day softly in the sunshine. I decided to make a folk inspired playlist this week featuring a few of my favorite songs of all time. Prepare yourself for lots of bright guitars and poetry sung by soulfully worn voices- I hope you like it. Also, take note that Laura Marling's most recent album Once I Was An Eagle comes out May 28!
