I was one sick puppy, so I didn't get around to the Friday Fifteen yesterday. Yeah, sorry to disappoint all three of you. Anyhow, this week is another mishmash of indie rawk, blue-eyed soul, a smashing cover of a Van Halen song, and a couple of retro-pop jewels from Sweden's amazing Labrador label, which has a fine selection of free mp3's on their site if you dig the tunes.
Click the big play button to listen while you read -- clicking the individual songs will only play 30 second clips. TIP: Click the little box on the lower right hand corner and the player will open in a pop up window so you can surf and listen. Hope you enjoy, and if you have any comments while the system is down you can drop me an email.
