Song of the Day - Meet Me Here At Dawn

Cass McCombs - Meet Me Here At Dawn from A (2004)

Cass McCombs is playing a show at The Oak + The Ax tomorrow in Biddeford, Maine. 

I don't know much about him other this song which has been covered by Andrew Bird and my late friend, Martin Smith.

Therefore it's very near and dear to my heart.

Song of the Day - Get Along Well

Safe - Get Along Well from Safe EP (2010)

Safe is Christopher F. Edley III playing some kind of minimal pop stuff.

Safe EP was "recorded in a secret way in a secret basement".

This same 'Safe' is also playing a show in Portland on April 19th with Conjjjecture, Altered Gee, Glass Fingers, and Duey Meadows at the Darkmouth Castle (on Dartmouth Street where my old dentist office was). Rumor has it this will be Glass Fingers (AKA Jesse Gertz) last show as Glass Fingers. Dundundun!

There may also be a new Safe album at said show as well.
