Escha van den Bogerd produces amazing artwork, art that is saturated with soul, at least, that's what i see in her work. She may be too young to be called a master yet - but to be honest, she's as good as it gets in my mind. Rather than ramble on about my take on this artist, i shall let these paintings speak for themselves. Should you want to find out more about escha, then each image has the web address included in the description so you can find her site.

I listen to a lot of artist and it is rare that i come across someone with heart and soul lately. This guy has been right up under our noses and it further seals my notion that the radio is a racket and real artists are not played so you have to get out and listen to some like this guy, Marc Broussard. This Album, SOS Save Our Soul is a gem, check it out and let Harry Hippie play all the way through....

I find this guys voice amazing, but you let me know what you think.

Muxtape, according to the website, is "a simple way to create and share mp3 mixtapes."  Upload up to 12 songs and arrange them accordingly to construct the perfect backdrop for whatever mood you're in at the moment.  The songs stream automatically and loop back to the beginning after the last selection.  The website itself has a minimalist design and is extremely easy to use.  Creating your own account only takes a minute or two, and listening to Muxtapes created by fellow users is just a click away.

Lately I've been staying up later than I really should, feeling contemplative (dare I say ... emo?  Say it ain't so), so here's my current Muxtape playlist:

3:37 AM & Drizzling: Essential Listening for the Occasional Insomniac

1. Deadly Avenger - "Everyday Is Valentine"
2. Amel Larrieux - "Gills And Tails"
3. Amy Winehouse - "Love Is A Losing Game (Instrumental)"
4. Bang Bang - "Bye Bye Blues"
5. Natalie Gardiner - "Slowly Softly"
6. Mozez - "If I Fall"
7. 40 Winks - "Melancholia"
8. Zimpala - "Adios"
9. Stateless - "Down Here"
10. Little Dragon - "Stormy Weather"
11. Telefon Tel Aviv - "Lotus Above Water"
12. Attica Blues - "Tender (The Final Story)"

Play it here and let me know what you think (I recommend opening it up in another tab and listening as you surf).  If you've made a Muxtape, please post your link in the comments.  I'd love to hear it.
