The Portland Cello Project plays an amazing instrumental cover of Kanye’s “All of the Lights”:
Lately, I’ve really been considering getting back into music. Videos like these egg me on. Anyone need a violinist out there? I’ll also trade violin classes for any of the following instrument lessons: vocal, accordion, cello or trumpet.

VV Brown seems to have been around for a couple of years already, but I’ve only just heard of her. I’m really digging this upbeat retro tune to get into the creative work groove.

And a “making of” that is so vastly inspiring.
Jamie Lidell has so many different styles and ideas. Music seems to be more than just something he does. It’s a part of him, something he is.

Mumford & Sons. I couldn’t think os a phrase to better describe them than one in their band biography:
“Four young men from West London in their early twenties, they have fire in their bellies, romance in their hearts, and rapture in their masterful, melancholy voices.”

I love it when the bloggers I read share their music finds. Upside Down by Paloma Faith was found via a post by Andrea aka Fly.
I love the colors in this video. Perked me up on a Sunday morning.

My friends Joel & Gina have packed their Miami bags and moved to Korea to teach English for a year. They’re blogging about their Korean adventures and recently introduced me to this ultra cute music video by the Wonder Girls, a Korean pop group.
I love their outfits and their dance moves. I’m undecided as to whether or not “Nadia Listens” should become a regular thing, but this was too good not to share with you!
