Camille O'Sullivan - A Good Man is Hard to Find

The original is (of course) my favourite but this performance is so over the top, I couldn't resist posting it! Her voice is incredible and she puts on a great show.
This is Camille O' Sullivan performing "A Good Man is Hard to Find".

Magik Markers - Taste

Am I in love with Magik Markers? Absolutely. Fierce and explosive female vocals with a strong noise rock spine.
What's even better than Magik Markers? Magik Markers combined with clips from Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Oh, yes.

The Stone Coyotes - Heart of a Champion

I've been really enjoying The Stone Coyotes lately and Barbara Keith is certainly one of the coolest lead singers out there. There aren't many videos of their performances out there that I can find for viewing so I'm glad I found this one as it's quite good and the audio is clear.
"Heart of a Champion" is a great song to give you a kick in the ass when you need to get things done! You can check out their website here or take a look at their myspace.

Trivia: The Stone Coyotes were the inspiration for Elmore Leonard's book "Be Cool". You can read the story of how that came to be here.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights

I really love this song...there's so much soul in Sharon Jones' voice. The style of the music video is a really great choice for the song and I feel like I've been transported back a few decades in time! Here is their site if you want to check them out or you can check them out on myspace!

Jill Tracy - Evil Night Together

Here's something sexy and film noir-ish for your friday evening! Jill Tracy has a beautiful sultry voice and dark cabaret style that fits so well with this video.

The video itself stars Sarah Charlton & Gabe Wexler and won a Best of Myspace Film Festival Award for Best Narrative Short Film. They've also posted an alternate cut of the video and some outtakes if you're interested.

PJ Harvey - Desperate Kingdom of Love

PJ Harvey has a voice that's a personal favorite of mine and there's something about her delivery in songs like this one that just seems so honest and true.

Below you'll find one of my favorite live performances of PJ Harvey's Desperate Kingdom of Love. This cover of the song by JennaFinland on youtube is also very pretty.

Alela Diane - The Rifle and Pirate's Gospel

Alela Diane is a gifted songstress and I'm pretty lucky to have found her. I'm enjoying her music immensely and here are two of my favorite songs "The Rifle" (or Rifle) and Pirate's Gospel.
