(Insert Clever Title Here...)

So, if I've written 16 posts and I have 16 followers, does that mean that this post (the 17th) gets me another follower? Oh I hope, I hope!! ;)

Today is about... well, I don't really know how to classify this guy. His name's Newton Faulkner. It's mostly acoustic but it's not like Jack Johnson-ish stuff. It's mostly up-beat and perky. Kinda his own sound... Listen especially to his guitar work. He strums, picks and thumps on his guitar interchangeably which 1) takes an enormous amount of skill and 2) sounds just plain AWESOME. Also, you really NEED to listen to more than just these songs so I'll throw a few more on the Grooveshark playlist. But at least give these ones a listen. Enjoy!
Intro/To the Light- Although they're separate tracks on Grooveshark, you need to make sure to listen to them back to back so as not to interrupt the awesome-ness.
I Need Something
All I Got- "I gotta have more COWBELL!!"  :) @1:00 ish
Teardrop- kicks in @ 1:30 ish... cool.
Gone in the Morning- Warning: this one will get stuck in your head very easily if you let it... (I know I already put it on Facebook but it's still a good song)
People Should Smile More

Here's a video of him playing into the light: (looks like he plays his guitar much like a funk/ slap bass player)

Don't forget to pass this along and share your feedback! Have a wonderful day y'all!

Jesse Ruben and the Return of the Foot...

K. This one is late and is short. Sorry. But here's a really cool song: "Unlocked" by Jesse Ruben. It's awesome.

Also, I was FINALLY able to upload all those Switchfoot songs I  posted a while back. For some slightly idiotic reason, I could upload anything I wanted except Switchfoot songs. And you can't find them on Grooveshark. For a while I thought they had a personal vendetta against Switchfoot. So I changed the band name to "myband" and it worked. "Numba 2" is Hello Hurricane (album version) and Hello Hurricane is the studio version. In case any of y'all actually are as picky as me :) Those are now to be found in Themusicmann playlist on my Grooveshark page or on the side of the blog. As always, enjoy!! Please share songs with me or this page with others!! ;)

ps- here's a kinda creepy tidbit... I didn't actually call it "numba 2." I tried uploading it. It failed again and I gave up for the day, came back on a few days later and they were all there and this one was renamed.... weird.
