music monday: liz janes covers. AND...a break!

If you follow me at all on facebook then this will be old news (sorry!) but this post should still be fun in a few ways.  Seven artists/bands covered seven different Liz Janes songs.  It includes a few of Liz's fellow Asthmatic Kitty artists including...SHARA of course!  Ahh, my favorite.  Listen/buy HERE. 

and it has beautiful cover art by DM Stith (OF COURSE)!

ALSO...I wanted to let you know that I am feeling pretty overwhelmed with soon-to-be deadlines & such so I am taking a blog "siesta" the rest of this week.  I know, that word doesn't really work here, but...I wanted to use it.  So I am.  I am so excited to have projects to be working on though, so needing to take a break is a good thing!  See you soon...

asthmatic kitty (free mp3s!) & DM Stith.

Just wanted to let you know that there are a number of free soothing (mostly instrumental) mp3s available over at Asthmatic kitty's website.  One is by Julianna Barwick and the other songs are by Serif (there are also available HERE).  There is also some Christmas music!  You could download it and save it for next year ;)

Asthmatic Kitty is up there in the world of labels for me.  I have been a fan of Sufjan and Shara for a looong time and I have been a fan of DM Stith for as long as I've known about him!  Oh!  Can't forget Osso and The Welcome Wagon :) How fun.  Music is a joy and wonder.

Have fun downloading and listening!

ps...DM Stith is not only a fantastic musician.  He is also an amazing artist:
