When the NCAA Tournament started we came across a Lowe's commercial that sounded like The Dodos, but turned out to be Oxford , which is Ferraby Lionheart . The song "Naked Eye" comes as an effort from the singer/songwriter from Nashville who spontaneously used a name other than his own. While no known site for Oxford exists Palladium Records states they have "teamed up with Ferraby Lionheart with the song Naked Eye." Much like Ferraby's website, Palladium hasn't been updating recently, but we can't fault anyone for doing their own thing. Fortunately, this track released [...]

"Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite." Now, while your phones may not be constantly ringing with blasts from Gossip Girl covering the latest news regarding Serena (Blake Lively), Blair (Leighton Meester), and their slew of family and friends' privileged lives (flawlessly balanced between turmoil and perfection), the phenomenal soundtrack is sure to stay ringing in your ears. From the drugs and partying to the twisted relationships full of lies, deceit, and love, CW’s Gossip Girl has found the ideal tracks to set the backdrop and atmosphere for the fast-pasted, [...]

The blogs are buzzing with yesterday's announcement, via a terse yet sincere statement on their website , that Athens, GA hometown heroes R.E.M. are calling it quits after three decades on the road, the radio, and the cultural consciousness. We first covered the genre-defining band back in 2009, so rather than rehash their path from college radio to iconic mainstream success, we're taking the opportunity to revisit that older post today in memoriam - with a couple of bonus covers of Losing My Religion , from more recent CLD faves Amber Rubarth [...]

The eclectic expanse known as Zorthian Ranch truly became a haven for the folk on Saturday as four stages were set up just north of Pasadena for a day of music, food, and beautiful scenery. Nature's backdrop wonderfully suited the 2nd New L.A. Folk Festival , where artists such as Olentangy John, Jenny Luna, Ferraby Lionheart, Amanda Jo Williams, Frank Fairfield and more brought out their acoustic guitars, banjos and upright basses to play Americana, folk and rock songs that floated throughout the dirt roads and deep terraces. Despite the hot weather, cool tunes seemed to guide the day [...]
The 2nd New Los Angeles Folk Fest goes off Saturday in a strange, wonderful and probably overheated place known as Zorthian Ranch in Altadena.

Enjoy. ||| Download: Buzzsicle 15 ||| Also: After the jump, the tracklist, [...]
