A couple of cool things happening on the personal front.  First, I just found out I was accepted to play in a pretty cool 200 guitar orchestral performance at the Lincoln Center in August.  It’s free too so you should come check it out:  http://www.lincolncenter.org/show_events_list.asp?eventcode=-62531.  Second, my old school DC buddies are trying to hook up an opening gig for Coldplay, if you get a sec stop by this page and help em make it happen:  http://www.coldplayontour.com/wwdc/, our video is the first one on the page (bicycle thieves).  Sorry, for the excess self-promo BS, now check out some cool Canadian indie pop.
POP Montreal says: “Michael O’Connell specializes in playing any instrument that makes a noise, and playing all of them masterfully. He uses this considerable skill to shape the artful melodies that accompany his evocative lyrics. This soft, tender music will let him play your heartstrings too.” 
 
There’s a nice mix of genres going on here, dig the soul style horns on Fireflies.  The standout track for me is ‘Inside The Cinema’ which is a bit reminiscent of an early Sea And Cake, only much cooler with subtle horn hits and synths.
