Matthew's Finest



This week I'm going to bring you two songs. you lucky dog. You'll be so inundated with rockin tunes that it'll be hard for you to get anything done, save for the rockin. That shall get done with ferocious verve.
The songs actually don't rock that hard, but they do sound pretty sweet and that's all I really ask to feature something in these posts. The first is I Have Made You A Mixed Tape by Daniel Ledwell. The artist hails from Halifax, and his songwriting style - if you judge it strictly by this song - is a subtly funny sort of musical storytelling. It tells the tale of a couple in every phase; infatuation, romance, discord, separation, jealousy and finally, scorn. And the whole story is told through the time honoured medium of producing mixed tapes for a loved one.



The second is a song by the Norwegian pop sensation, Kings Of Convenience. The groups former collaborations involve Canadian recording superstar Leslie Feist so they're pretty heavy hitters. We've featured their songs before on the show, and I see no end in sight if they keep releasing such delightful music.
I'd Rather Dance With You is a tale of love on the dance-floor; a love which could not live in any other environment. Because sometimes love is conditional upon how little of each other you can actually hear.
