Song of the Week 01/28/2008 by Bon Iver

Bon Iver performs Skinny Love @ The Bowery Ballroom
Hello again and welcome back. This weeks song is Skinny Love from Bon Iver, an Indie Neo Soul band from Wisconsin. If you have the time check out the bio on MySpace. It seems that Justin Vernon (the lead singer) moved to a remote cabin for a few months to chop wood and write music which resulted in the Bon Iver Album For Emma, Forever Ago. Let us know if you think Justin's mini Walden adventure paid off.

Song of the Week 01/21/2008 by The Shins

The Shins perform Sleeping Lessons Live @ the Crystal Ballroom
Welcome back to www.ThisWeeksSong.com. We hope you enjoy this weeks selection as it is near and dear to our hearts. The shins have come a long way from Garden State and Scrubs but stayed true to their ever progressing sound. This is a video of a rehearsal performance that makes you want to go to the show. When we got their latest disc Wincing the Night Away it was a challenge to stop listening to this song which is track number 1 and explore the remainder of the disc. Thanks again for visiting the site. Enjoy your week!

Song of the Week 01/14/2008 by Beat Radio

An acoustic performance of Ancient as the Stars no 2 by Beat Radio
Hello again. This weeks song comes from a Local Bellmore, Long Island band. We have had the pleasure of seeing a few live performances on LI and in NYC and were not disappointed. It is relatively difficult to find any videos of their shows despite a few direct emails to the band from our staff. If you are interested you can download the tracks available on their MySpace player or go to their home page to download their entire latest album in mp3 format. We hope you enjoy the song. Have a great week!
