The Couch Sessions Presents: Sunrise Suite
Download: The Couch Sessions Presents: Sunrise Suite Are you a “morning person”? That elusive, desirable trait of successful people? I wouldn’t know…the most frequent question I’m asked before 10am is, “Are you alright….?” It’s not that I hate mornings in themselves. I hate the noise and bustle that disrupt the peace & tranquility of sleep. [...]

Audio Relaxation Therapy – Martin Luther (no…the other one)
Martin Luther – While My Guitar Gently Weeps [Audio clip: view full post to listen] It’s amazing how unscripted good art can be. In a world of information overload, where a simple Google search on “songwriting” pulls up over 2 million responses, the true artistry and craftsmanship of songwriting begins in a natural, beautiful place. [...]

Audio Relaxation Therapy – Shingo Suzuki
Welcome to the first installment of Audio Relaxation Therapy. A.R.T. began as a humble email blast sent out to office workers across the United States, Toronto, Hong Kong and Japan. The email consisted of positive thoughts, good music and the encouragement to back away from the monitors, don the headphones and breathe. A.R.T. has now [...]
Video: Georgia Anne Muldrow – Run Away
This is the lead single from Georgia Anne Muldrows album “Early”, being distributed by the Animatedcartunes label. “Early” apparently consists of several of Georgia’s first recordings – at the tender age of 17.

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed).
