Music is always playing in my studio – & generally throughout the house too. While I do have a fairly large & diverse collection of music, I find that I’ve been leaning pretty heavily towards Pandora radio these days- just so I don’t get in a music rut. I keep little pieces of scrap paper and a pen next to where I work so I can jot down songs & artists that I like to later look up when I have the time. The big trick I find, is reading my writing when I actually do go to look up these musicians. I lucked out this weekend though, I stumbled on Portland, OR artist , Laura Gibson . She reminds me a little of Jolie Holland & Madeleine Peyroux. Have a listen…
I’m really drawn to her sensibility & find her music a nice match for these cold, winter days in the studio. There is just something about the idea of a musician performing in a bookstore that really appeals to me. If you enjoyed her music, you can listen to her Tiny Desk Concert at NPR music here. Happy Music Monday!

22 November 2010i thought you might be playing pandora when we stopped by yesterday. whatever station you were playing had the same songs that mine usually plays. good job though- writing them down. i usually forget and then i fall in love with songs and don't know their title OR singer later.
thanks for sharing Laura Gibson too- she's got a lovely, strong voice and i look forward to hearing more from her. :]

22 November 2010This is perfect for today here in Mtl too! Rainy and grey.. this is happy! I love the accordian too. At first, I thought this was a parisian duo. : ) True, good thing you write these things down. And then share with us!
You might like Detektivbyrån too.. but it's more instrumental..

23 November 2010@Ayla- Yep pandora was definitely on. It was on Jose Gonzalez & Matt Costa radio a lot yesterday. Oh, I would be lost without my little pieces of paper- I actually stop sewing to write stuff down. Glad you liked Laura Gibson…. 🙂
@Chantale- I thought that same thing at first too. Wasn't that a great little book shop? Glad it fit your mood… I will check out Detektivbyran. Thanks! 🙂
