Greetings, y'all. I hope that everyone's New Year has gotten off on the good foot. Mine certainly has. Expect a lot more blogging from me this year. No school + free time=more blogging. In other words, don't be afraid to check Jay the Intern on a daily basis for minty musical goodness.
While we're on the subject, take a listen to
Dent May.
Dent & his Magnificent Ukulele hails from Taylor, Mississippi. With vocal stylings in the vain of Costello, Holly and Richman, and dreamy beachfront melodies--not to mention two awesome labels behind him;
Paw Tracks (US) and
Rough Trade (UK)--Dent May is poised to have a big 2009. Look for his debut,
the Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele, on February 2. According to the Dent's Myspace Blog, he recorded his debut with producer
Rusty Santos (
Sung Tongs, etc) "in [his] doublewide trailer in July." From what we're hearing, the album should be as hot as those steamy confines certainly were.
