While adding tunes to the Aquarium's radio, I realized I had yet to post anything from Stephen McBean's "other project."

As a former Athens resident I try (from the west coast) to keep to keep up with the pulse of the local scene and support new artists. HAM1 is no exception. Under his stage name, local schoolteacher Jim Willingham has recently self-released his first album, but he would rather you have it for free. A novel idea, no? Backed by a crew of esteemed townie musicians (members of OTC, Ballard Lesseman, etc . . .

It's Sunday, a little overcast...a little wet outside. And I'm fully enjoying it. A nice reprieve from the constant L.A. heat of late. Here's a tune that was playing around the house this morning. Dusty tends to cool everything off.DOWNLOAD:MP3: Dusty Springfield - Don't Forget About Me

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine, who works in media, was good enough to score me the Starbucks exclusive Bob Dylan Live at the Gaslight 1962 album. In simple terms, it is great. If you have had some hesitation, as I initially did, check out these two sample tracks below. A great companion piece to the recent Scorcese documentary.

Canada's music scene's been on steroids the past few years, as further exemplified by the sophmore release from Ontario's Great Lake Swimmers. Upon first listen, songwriter/vocalist Tony Dekker comes across as a hybrid of an early, pensive Neil Young and My Morning Jacket at their most subdued. Like My Morning Jacket, GLS use organic atmospherics to compliment their moody pallette. [The debut album was recorded in an . . .
