Last Week’s Jams (9.1 – 9.5)

There were some that covered more than us, and there were others that didn’t quite cover as much, but I’ll admit, feel like us only hitting 14 songs in a week was just scratching the surface of what came out last week. Still, we had Meritorio Records crushing the week’s end with new tunes from Strange Passage and the Wesleys. My personal favorite tune cranking out in under two minutes was that new jam from Teenage Tom Petties. Good to see the Apartments back too, so we ran the first single from their forthcoming LP, not to mention peeked back at the latest LP from The Fisheremen Three. It’s a quick run through this week, so make sure you crank it up and enjoy the ride!

Checking In on The Fishermen Three

We had a brief cool front here in Austin; it dropped almost below 90 degrees for about an hour today, so for us it felt like Fall was on the way. With that, we can revisit the recently released album from the Fishermen Three, the long running project of Simon Beins and friends. He’s gathered a lot of big hitters to bring his songs to life, from Jack Johnson to Herman Dune, so the pedigree of folks is there…and so are the song. I really loved the tune hanging out below, particularly with its sort of soft brush stroked drums signaling a slight march to the the melody. What kind vocals too, especially as the track layers in the various arrangements; I especially loved the horn blasts that popped to life. If this feels like a tune for you, then check out Infinite Feeling, available now from Royal Oakie.

New Music from The Fishermen Three

I’m really stuck on this song, so I decided I’d share it with you.  The Fishermen Three is the brain child of Simon Beins, who has toured the world opening for some of my favorite acts like The Wave Pictures and I Was a King.  That being said, this tune is more a solemn folk affair; it can be found on iTunes. Also, you should check out his record Time to Think About the Morning Once Again–it’s in stores now on Shelved Records. Basically this track is Simon and a guitar, telling personal stories the way only he can.  Maybe it’s a folk tune, maybe it’s singer-songwriter, but whatever, it’s damn good.
