While we're prepping, here's another fabulously awesome edition of our Friday Mixtape. As always, below you'll find the best new mix of singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you might just want to check out.

Aaron Beaumont tour dates Starting with a pair of shows in the LA area next Monday, Ragtime troubadour Aaron Beaumont will be hitting the road for a string of dates in support of his debut album " Nothing's Forever (Not Even Goodbye) ", released last year.

Aaron Beaumont es lo que en nuestros tiempos se conoce como un "trovador moderno". Estudioso de la Economía, el Español y la Literatura, con sus respectivos títulos, Aaron decidió que el mundo no necesitaba un economista bilingüe, ni un novelista con la facultad de escribir en español y mucho menos otro cantautor, lo que desde luego no es. El estilo que Beaumont imprime en sus canciones pasa por lo romántico con un toque de frescura y melodías que se quedan impregnadas a lo largo del día. El material más reciente de este prometedor talento fue lanzado el [...]
Happy New Year everyone! We actually meant to post this yesterday, but we were just so busy celebrating the New Year that it didn't happen. So, in honor of the first day of the new year, here are some artists we think you should keep your eye out for in the year 2009. Erin McCarley It's hard to believe that her album was just released on iTunes two days ago- December 30th- with a physical
I have a new music crush and his name is Aaron Beaumont. Without honestly knowing much about him, I ventured out into the terrible cold, rainy weather to see him play at Living Room last night and it was well worth the wet trek. Aaron is one of those musicians that makes it look so easy. He has an effortlessly gorgeous voice and is a skilled piano player. He's handsome and well-dressed, but not
Funny thing happened after our little spiel on Spaceland the other day. We got invited to cover David Garza at Largo at the Coronet, the mother of all venues that don't allow photos/videos of any kind. It was something we couldn't pass up since 1). We think David Garza is a genius B). Calling David Garza a genius is the understatement of the century and III). As rabid geek fans of David Garza we
In most contexts, when XXX appears in a title, unless your locked in a dark room by yourself, you'd probably be a bit hesitant to click the link. However, when it comes to Consequence of Sound's Friday Mixtape, XXX just refers to the edition, and a good one at that. Below you'll find a mix of the best new singles and remixes along with a few songs from some up-and-comers you might just want to check out. If that's not enough for you and/or you're still looking to celebrate Tuesday's outcome, we recommend checking out Low Life Inc.'s [...]
In't he just lovely? He believes that Nothing's Forever (Not Even Goodbye) . Just like the name of his new debut album. According to his mySpace, "Aaron Beaumont completed degrees in Economics, Spanish, and Literature before concluding that, at least for the moment, what the world really needed was neither: A) a well-read bilingual economist, nor B) an economically savvy Spanish novelist, but rather C) yet another singer-songwriter." ...I wasn't alive in the 20s, but somehow, Aaron Beaumont makes me nostalgic for the decade. [...]
I haven't done a mix in a while, so here's seven songs that you will hopefully enjoy. And if you don't, just remember that the blog's free, and that you can e-mail me suggestions at eitheror.hugh(at)gmail(dot)com . I sometimes take ages to get around to them, but sometimes... not ages, and you may just get lucky, at least if you define "lucky" as "Hugh read my e-mail." I hope you do not use such a definition, but anyway, enjoy the songs. Aaron Beaumont - Julia - (MP3, 4.1 MB) This [...]
I've been to plenty of concerts, but all of them have had one thing in common. They've been on solid ground. So when I first heard about The Hub's 3-Hour Tour on 'The Endeavor' around the marina, it was a little hard to pass up on the unique opportunity. Packing in a crowd ranging from half of California, and an artist set from really all over the country, The Hub put on a great afternoon and evening of eclectic music in a pretty amazing setting. I enjoyed wonderful sets from 14 different artists, and left [...]
