Sometimes I’m amazed what some artists give away for free. One of those times occurred the other day when Lance Smith aka Lumberton, Texas’ Pandit dropped his Steady Nerves and a Strong Heart EP for free to all his faithful fans. This is not the first time he’s dished out quality music (still loving those demos!). Cinematic, sometimes cavernous, sometimes mellow living room chills, always on point. Go grab it.

Today my son Elias turns 2. Kind of unbelievable how fast time flies. He is pure happiness all the time and has changed my life completely (in a good way of course). Over the past few weeks we’ve noticed he’s REALLY taken to some of the music I’ve been playing during dinner. And when I say taken to I mean dancing, singing, and generally rocking out to it. So in typical music blogger fashion I decided to chronicle them in a mix. Take a listen:
mp3: The Futureheads – Sun Goes Down
mp3: Sunglasses – Whiplash
mp3: Five O’Clock Heroes – Rough Boys
mp3: Sonic Youth – Kool Thing (Cracks Remix)
mp3: Dinosaur Bones – Birthright
mp3: Daniel J. Santillan – Do For You
mp3: Triptides – Shadows
mp3: Chalk And Numbers – Here With (Each Other)
mp3: Pandit – Artichoke
mp3: Ice Cream Shout – Marianne
mp3: Rakim – Let The Rhythm Hit ‘Em
mp3: School Of Seven Bells – Camarilla
Lance Smith aka Pandit aka the pride of Lumberton, Texas has his debut LP for Waaga on the horizon, but he decided to give a little holiday cheer to his fans by releasing a massive set of demos for free. Download it here. You will not be disappointed. Currently I cannot get enough of two amazing covers he’s produced in this set. Check them out:
mp3: Pandit – These Days (Jackson Browne)
mp3: Pandit – Feelin’ Good Again (Robert Earl Keen)
mp3: Pandit – Eastbound Train
Pandit’s Eternity Spin LP is due out on February 22nd via Waaga.
mp3: Pandit – Artichoke
Thanks to No Modest Bear.
From the big state of Texas comes Pandit aka Lance Smith, a one man band that should be on the tips of everyone’s tongues come February 2011. That’s when his debut album drops via Waaga, and judging by the first single “Artichoke”, its going to be a winner in every category. “Artichoke” is the soundtrack to my canal navigating gondola dreams. Get whisked away:

Happy 4th of July!!! Its a fine day in Bmore for sure and I think I’m going to try to get some RnR in a big way this holiday. I had been pining over what songs I should slide into this Hi-5 an whether or not I should have a patriotic theme. In the end it was too hard to pick so I gave up following homer Simpson’s motto of life “Never Try”. Oh well. These songs are good though, so that’s something…right?
