Apparently this Pigg gentleman was cast as Ellen Page's love interest in Whip It . And his songs include that wistful jingle featured on a recent AT&T commercial - which explains why this album sounds, well, too commercial. But his sing-song voice and girl-pleasing lyrics are bound to get this guy somewhere. Reminds us of: Gavin DeGraw | Jason Mraz | the opening to "Band on the Run" Landon Pigg ( MySpace | Official Site ) landon pigg [...]
I have the biggest crush on Landon Pigg. Seriously. Big. Crush. With his new album The Boy Who Never, Landon returns with swoon worthy music that just makes your heart felt. Whoever the subject of his songs is is one seriously lucky lady and obviously a fantastic muse. Blue Skies is probably the best song I've heard [...]
"I think that possibly maybe I'm falling for you." Earlier Landon Pigg was mentioned in a music commercial post. If "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop," was played a general consensus would state that the song is from a ring commercial on television, even though Pigg has released other singles from his second album LP . Many of the artists featured on television are known by their one song, and not for their real musical talents. Luckily, I'm here to clear that up. Landon Pigg's new album, [...]
I have to admit, I kind of thought A Fine Frenzy was overrated. I liked her and all, but I felt like I know so many people who are head-over-heels in love with her and I just didn't get the obsession. On Wednesday night though, all that changed. I went to see her perform at the Gramercy Theatre and consider me converted. A Fine Frenzy (aka Alison Sudol) is a spectacular performer. First off, I
"Pink and black and blue, for you." My television viewing has greatly increased recently. It's a pure addiction.. Gossip Girl, The Office, The Hills (only with Kristin Cavalari), and 90210. Shows like Gossip Girl even have the most up to date indie music. Last episode even skillfully used Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zero's "Home." However, the ridiculous subject matter of the show does not make the music as interesting to analyze as the ones in commercials. Those 30 seconds you're already annoyed because your favorite show is on a commercial makes [...]
With Landon Pigg 's latest album, The Boy Who Never , dropping a couple weeks ago (September 29,) I realized we've never really given him his fair due here on KR. I posted an mp3 from him a while back in preparation for SXSW, titled "Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop", which has received much fanfare from casual listeners and press alike. Pigg, from the musically fertile grounds of Nashville, has that smooth voice that so many aspiring musicians wish for and dream about. His jazzy flair gives the mostly pop [...]
Behind The Photoshoot: Landon Pigg for RAGGED Magazine Landon Pigg has had an incredible week. Not only did he release his new album, 'The Boy Who Never' last Tuesday, but to follow it up on Friday, he made his feature film debut in the Drew Barrymore directed, WHIP IT . To celebrate the man of many talents, RAGGED Magazine has just released a special [...]
The boys of Green Day once said to wake me up when December comes . While we're not there quite yet, this does mark the last Friday of September 2009 and thus, the last Friday Mixtape of September 2009. So, take the time to reminisce about the month that was Pavement, Kanye, and CoS' two year anniversary, while enjoying this week's best mix of new singles, covers, and remixes as well as mp3s from some up-and-comes you might just want to check out. NEW Singles: "Alleycat" by Awesome New [...]

In between his 2006 major label debut LP and his forthcoming The Boy Who Never (September 29), Nashville-based singer/songwriter Landon Pigg found that one of his new songs - "Love In A Coffee Shop" - literally had "commercial potential." First as part of a DeBeers diamond TV campaign and then as the backing for an AT+T spot, "Coffee Shop" and it's "I think that possibly maybe I'm falling for you" tag line were inescapable. Fast forward to 7 million plays of the song on his myspace player and you have the unlikely re-launch of [...]
Much like the famous Smuckers jam tag line, if you're name is Landon Pigg you'd better be good. Fortunately, the young Nashville-based singer/songwriter has a few things going for him, not the least of which is the ability to meld a genuinely sincere lyrical warmth to a genuinely great pop melody without the least bit of saccharine aftertaste. Where others might fall to a cloying sentimentality, Pigg's music manages to stay above the overly sensitive, "Gray's Anatomy" ballad trap most notably on "Love In A Coffee Shop" -- his most successful track and one that has been played [...]
Another installment of the madness of the mellows. Songs to pamper your heart rate. This time I am trying to reach out into different genres for mellow songs. We have some amazing chill trance thanks to Velvet Girl, a slow spanish rock by Nacho Vega, the interesting sounds of Rob Dougan, a remix with the one and only radiohead and soothing vocals from Landon Pigg and new music from Andrew Birds latest EP titled "Fitz & the Dizzyspells" The very song from the Tv Commercial Diamonds are Forever that appeared early last year from Landon Piggs. A slow [...]

Kate Hutchinson - Irish Grandmother As the Great Songs of 2008 list progresses... we add a hit from one of Madison's own, a Russian-born and Brooklyn-bred Bjork, a characteristically patient K-records spirit, another artist from last year's JustSayin show series, a few ballads, and a folk pop song from Paris that makes a childhood death sound cute. 31) Fleet Foxes [...]
So I survived my first year at SXSW. I learned that it is possible to live off a diet of alcohol and Zone energy bars. I learned that it is almost ridiculous to make a schedule for SXSW and the best things happen when you are being spontaneous. I learned if you act important enough, you can get into almost anything-backstages included. I learned it is possible to get sunburn in Texas even if you had spent most of your time inside venues. I learned that it is a good idea to carry a power strip, water and batteries in [...]

Please don't squeal because I haven't gone all soft on ya. Yes, 'Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop' has probably been wetting knickers for months now but I can't help escaping the fact that it's a lovely little number. Apparently it has sold a quarter of million on itunes, which says a lot about the demographic it has been conquering. But there are many cases for the defence, the first being
