Simon Phipps's personal commentary

December's First Crop

Here's a round-up of the music I've been recommending this week on Twitter. It was a busy download week and I have thrown away a load of other tracks that I didn't like as much as these. Signs are that there will be many Christmas-themed tracks in the next two weeks, plus I just downloaded three full sampler albums (of which more next week) so the sampler season is upon us again.

• Eliza Doolittle: Police Car - Laid back chill-jam that's Lily Allen in all but name. ***

For US Readers

Amazon US downloads are restricted to verified US account-holders

• Jeb Patton: The Music Goes On - Tasteful piano-led lounge jazz, a good choice if that's your thing (it is mine). ****


• Ingrid Michaelson: Sort Of (Live) - Piano-and-vocal angsty love song from capable female singer-songwriter. She's like so many other artists I enjoy listening to, yet I can't bring myself to love this for some reason. ***½


• The Little Heroes: Say I'll Be Gone and Common Ground - Two decent soft-rock tracks by a promising band - I'll be watching out for them. ****
  
  
• Christmas tracks abound. If they are your thing check daily on the 25 Days of Free page (worth bookmarking if you do).
