Jay Nash - Christmas in LA

For the past two weeks I have been oddly blessed with waking up with a song stuck in my head and whatever that song was I was posting it first thing in the morning. Today the magic stopped so I figured I would wait to be influenced or inspired by something. So far the only thing that has happened was that I threw a bible that was kind of a gift out of a 3 story window at said gift giver. Needless to say, there are no songs about throwing bibles out windows at people. Sad day. 


So I guess I can twist my morning experience into the spirit of gift giving, regardless of gifts you like or gifts you would prefer to violently throw, I think it is time for another holiday song. I promise I won't drop it on your head from 3 stories up. I promised you more from Jay Nash and the other two boys so I will start with my favorite. This is a brand new holiday song by him and I love the lyrics "And I wish it would snow, oh the wind would blow, but I know that it wont/ So give me that hallelujah some of that old langsyne/ Hold me close baby and make believe that its cold outside" espeically because until today the weather has come nowhere near resembling winter weather. You should also check out his other songs like Baby Tornado, The places you will go, and Sweet Talking Liar. For a better version I suggest waiting until I come home for me to give it to you, or buying it yourself or at least check out his songs on myspace. I promise its worth it. 

Tony Lucca, Jay Nash, Matt Duke - Pretty Things

Each of these singer/songwriters deserves their own post, which they will get in the following days, however they got together and produced this kick ass EP titled "TFDI" which stands for "Totally F***in doin' it!" and it is one of the better $3.95 I have spent on itunes. There are lots of songs to be shared from each artist but for now I will focus on the EP which nicely fits into this weeks slew of cover songs because they sing "The weight" by The Band as one of their four songs on the EP. You can hear most of the EP on Matt Dukes myspace page; including his original song Sex and Reruns which is greatly improved with the help of the other two guys. Of course the song I really want you to hear is not on that myspace page. You can find the Tony Lucca version on his myspace page though. Just to be fair here is Jay Nash's myspace page. He is my favorite of the three, I love his voice (Bou he will be your favorite too and you already have one of his songs from me). Eeks did I really just choose a favorite? I feel like a mom who just announced that the oldest child is her favorite. Whatever, its music I love them all.

Here is a video which does not do it justice but just had the best song quality I could find. Unfortunately it is sung solo by Tony Lucca. I urge you to find or purchase this song sung by the three of them somewhere else so you can fully appreciate it. Gosh I love it today. P.S. all three of these guys are irresistibly cute. I just want to give them all big hugs.

***Important Update: Jay Nash is playing TONIGHT at Club Passim in Cambridge at 10. GO GO GO!!! and then let me know how it is. (He is playing with Caitlin Crosby and Crosby Loggins and they are both pretty awesome too and yes Crosby Loggins IS Kenny Loggins son. Cool.***
