I’m quite glad that HearYa.com has entered my normal rotation of sites to find great new music. I just posted about The Glory Fires, and now I’m back with another terrific artist: Bhi Bhiman.

He recently did a live session with Hear Ya, which has now served as my introduction to his acoustic guitar and vocal greatness.

Enjoy these two videos, plus the other tracks available at Hear Ya’s post:

MP3: Ballerina

MP3: Take What I’m Given

Over at HearYa.com today, Woody blogged about a new band he found – Lee Bains III and the Glory Fires. They are a rock/blues/country band that definitely sounds like Alabama, as Woody describes. Not the band Alabama, the state.

Here’s my favorite song so far, called “Righteous, Ragged Songs.”

And here is another, “Choctaw”:

I love it when the first song a new IRC Best New Releases playlist is badass. It usually portends good things for the rest of the playlist.

The latest such playlist by IRC kicked off with “How Do I Know” by Here We Go Magic, and it’s a terrific little slice of tasty indie goodness. Listen and enjoy:

MP3: “How Do I Know” by Here We Go Magic

And it has an interesting video to go along with it:

As the week ends, I thought I’d share with you the song that has gotten the most rotation on my iPad and iTunes this week.

It’s “Someone Purer” by Mystery Jets. It’s guaranteed to put a hop in your step.

There are two new Best New Releases posts up over at Indie Rock Cafe, so you should spend some time over there, just as I will be.

I’m not even passed the second artist yet on the first post, and I already have a song to share: the terrific “Spore” by Portland-based Ramona Falls.

Here is a very intense song, for those of you who like intense songs.

It’s called “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons. The video below is actually a promo video for The Secret World. The visuals seem pretty appropriate for the song.

My new music friend, whose recommendations you will start seeing more and more and this site I’m fairly certain, sent me the lyric to this song the other day, and I then posted it. As soon as I started listening to it, I knew I recognized the tune from somewhere.

See if it sounds familiar to you too. The song is “Bodies” by Savoir Adore.

How about this Citi commercial:

Either way, it’s a terrific song. Enjoy.

Just caught this song over at Lost At E Minor and enjoyed it.

The artist is Ainslee Wills from Melbourne. She sounds like Fiona Apple.

I mentioned earlier today the intense lyric battle I am in with another fellow music lover. Our last exchange compelled me to come here and immediately post one of my favorite songs from the last several years.

“Merrymake It With Me” by The Republic Tigers was featured in the first Indie Christmas in July playlist I published a couple years back. It was one of my favorite songs on that particular playlist.

Have a listen:

The Republic Tigers aren’t exactly new, and they have several songs that many people in my music circles like (most notably “Buildings and Mountains“), so I was surprised today to find out that the lyrics to “Merrymake It With Me” are not published anywhere online.

I guess because the song was included only in an EP from April of 2011, and not on an official album release, it never made its way onto the normal lyrics websites.

Well, that’s ridiculous. It’s a great song, and the next person who wants to look up the lyrics shouldn’t be led on a wild goose chase like we were earlier today.

So here they are:

“Merrymake It With Me” lyrics

Tiki torch
A tall flashlight
Taking you somewhere
Might want the mood to be right

Motorized bicycles
Tune ‘em up
And then we’ll hit the open road
Bayonet, red dot sight, no man’s land
We might have to kill for a bite

The power’s out
Acoustics in the dark
I’ll teach you how to play guitar

It’s been way too long
I feel like I’ve done wrong

Up in smoke
Sell my car
At the traveling boulevard we’re so rated R
Lightning bolts and thunder clouds
Sit outside and soak
Well what you got to lose?

All I realize
For this to work I need to make the time

You deserve a minute away from my lament
Merrymake it with me for the night
Oh come on

And to kill
The side of you
That’s a fine hip hit
To see the look in your eyes
When I request your company inside of the tent
And then my sweet minute…baby

You deserve a minute away from my lament
I’ll circumvent the moments that cause u suspense

We should flee for the week
And make an honest attempt

Merrymake it with me baby please for tonight

And if you smiled enough
There’s more where that come from
Stick around and see
It might be nice to trot the block with me

I’m in an intense lyric exchange with a fellow music lover, and we somehow got into a back-and-forth with lyrics that are refer to eyes.

The latest that came my way: “I saw her innocent eyes, her spirit passed me by”

These just happen to be lyrics the song below, “Bodies” by Savoir Adore, which I had never heard before. It’s not new (the video was posted on April 30th, 2010) but it is a great song.

Enjoy:
