Just over a year ago, I was fortunate enough to see the amazing Spencer Day performing live at the World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, PA. I really enjoy the space, for it has a wonderfully intimate feel, and I have been able to take some good pictures of performers there through the years. Above, you can see a few of the pictures I took of the handsome crooner, who kept my rapt attention for the entire performance. He not only had a strong set list, he was also game for taking requests from the audience. One of the requests was "I Only Have Eyes For You", a popular love song written in 1934 by composer Harry Warren and lyricist Al Dubin. It debuted in the film 'Dames', starring Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler. However, the best known version might have been the 1959 single by The Flamingos, which made it to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. But this is Spencer Day with "I Only Have Eyes For You".



You know, one of my favorite versions of this song might just be this one. While Spencer has yet to record the classic song, I pretty much love almost everything that Spencer sings. That would include his latest album, 'Daybreak'. You can purchase 'Daybreak' from Bandcamp, iTunes and Amazon. To learn more about Spencer Day, visit his official website. You can also 'like' him on Facebook and 'follow' him on Twitter.

Today I will be attending the wedding of my nephew, Scott, to his significant other, Cheryl. To mark this special occasion, I thought I would start the day with a romantic duet I can't get enough of. I have long been a fan of handsome and talented Matt Alber, and have been lucky enough to see him perform live on a couple of different stages. I was not, however, at his show in London in August of this year, at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Alber was joined on stage by Brendan Sweet Rogers, and English singer/songwriter I have recently discovered thanks to Alber, and have also developed a crush on him. His voice makes an interesting counterpoint to Alber's on Bob Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love". Here they are performing the song live.



"To Make You Feel My Love" can be found on Matt's latest album, 'Wind Sand Stars'. I heard it first there, and instantly fell for it. And looked up and purchased all the music I could by Rogers. You can purchase "To Make You Feel My Love" from iTunes and Amazon. For more about Matt Alber, visit his official website. You can also 'follow' him on Twitter, and 'like' him on Facebook. To learn about Brendan Rogers, you can visit his official website. You can also 'follow' him on Twitter, and 'like' him on Facebook. I will soon be sharing some of Brendan's music with you.

SIRPAUL™ • Love Sick (NSFW)

SIRPAUL - Loves Sick EP photo SIRPAUL_LOVE_SICK_Cover_Art_zpsebe5e100.jpg

The oh-so-talented SIRPAUL™ has a new single out, a track off the exciting 'Seventh Star', that also comes with a new music video. Like much of SIRPAUL's work, the song takes on an edgy flavor, that area when darkness and sexiness collide to make life a bit more exciting. This song is a perfect example of this, with lyrics that start off with a sweetness associated with love, but we quickly learn there is something more to the puzzle.

With the music video, the song earns the title "Love Sick Twisted Shit", so you know this is not meant to be played at high volume in every office, but certainly cranked up to 11 at home. SIRPAUL is taped giving a live performance at Eastbloc Hoxton, London, where the crowd is packed in nice and tight, ready for SIRPAUL to give it to them good. And as I would expect, SIRPAUL delivers with a stamina and bravado few could dish out with so many hot men watching. And from the looks of the crowd, he gives them just what they were looking for. Speaking of what you are looking for, with the single is a new EP, featuring a single version of the song, and three hot remixes. And there is also a new song, the darkly sensual "Strut", giving marching orders as only SIRPAUL can. But first, I hope you enjoy the music video for "Love Sick (Twisted Shit)" by SIRPAUL.



You can purchase the "Love Sick EP" from iTunes and Amazon. The track can also found on his latest album, 'Seventh Star', which is available from iTunes and Amazon. To learn more about SIRPAUL, visit his official website. You can also connect with him on social medias, if you would just 'like' him on Facebook, and 'follow' him on Twitter.
