I'll Be My Mirror
8in8
8in8 = Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Neil Gaiman, and Damian Kulash (lead singer of OK Go)
Their experiment was to come up with 8 songs in 8 hours for the ReThink music conference. They ended up with 6 songs in 12 hours and put out an EP called “Nighty Night.” They took turns singing (Neil Gaiman is a pleasant surprise on “The Problem With Saints”), and the results are pretty impressive considering the circumstances. I highly suggest you find this EP and do your ears a favor by listening!
Key tracks: I’ll Be My Mirror, The Problem With Saints

While The Earth Sleeps
Deep Forest with Peter Gabriel
Peter could sing the phone book and I’d be all up in that.

Clean Break
Jenny Owen Youngs
Many people know Jenny’s song “Fuck Was I” (from “Batten The Hatches”) but what they don’t know is that all of her songs/albums are ace. I’ve seen Jenny in concert and she’s captivating and a thousand buckets of fun. I met her at the merch table and she is also witty as hell.
I just bought her new song, “Great Big Plans,” and you can, too! So if you like funny, sarcastic, talented, nice people….
THEN GO BUY HER SHIT AND SEE HER IN CONCERT IF SHE PLAYS NEAR YOU. OR ELSE.
