Video of the Day: Patrick Watson

So I just stumbled on this video of Patrick Watson's The Great Escape. The pen and ink animations really fit the song beautifully. He's also the voice behind the track, To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra if you are wondering where you've heard that Antony meets Chris Martin charm before.

What The Hell Am I Listening To?!?

Some international flavor for today:

The Cinematic Orchestra (UK)



This is a band that's name describes them perfectly. Their new album, Ma Fleur, is a really beautiful piece of work that I've been listening to constantly. It's amazing how much emotion and mood great music can evoke. Don't miss this one:

• To Build A Home
• Time & Space

Justice (Paris, France)



This duo does rave-style dance music with the spirit of rock 'n' roll. I'm usually not the biggest fan of House music, but this album, Cross, is just too fun to ignore. If you want something to dance to, this is it:

• D.A.N.C.E.
• Phantom
