Indie label, Vanguard Records, got caught up in the Christmas spirit and decided give to us a free Holiday Sampler. It has tracks from some the best artists that they represent, from Brandi Carlile to Josh Ritter to Dar Williams to Greg Laswell…well you get the point and you can see all their names on the album cover to the left. Not all of the tracks are Holiday themed, but it is still a great mix for the holiday season. Click here to get this joyous holiday mix.

So does everyone remember a couple years ago when Zach Braff introduced us to the oh so talented Joshua Radin via the stellar soundtrack he handpicked for The Last Kiss. Well for those of you who didn’t listen the first time that Braff tried to convince you this guy was legit (probably because you never saw the movie), then maybe you’ll listen this time. The old college buddies have teamed up again, this time Radin is on the screen and Braff is directing the new video for the first single off of his sophomore album Simple Times.
And simple times is where we are taken, as Braff pulls out the old super 8 camera and takes us on a little road trip. For those of us whose lives have grown more and more complicated and messy as our relationships develop and we gain responsibilities and we enevitably screw things up, this video makes us long for simpler times. And for three minutes it takes us there. I encourage you guys to be inspired by this simple but gorgeous video and throw away some of the distractions that are preventing you from experiencing those simple times. Put everything aside and just take a road trip, or go on a second honeymoon. Do whatever it takes. But if nothing else play this fantastic song on repeat and allow yourself to day dream for a little while.
Joshua Radin – I’d Rather Be With You (removed 2/13/09)
Be sure to catch Radin’s performance on Conan tonight…it’s sure to make your ears bleed.
