It's a rainy Friday in Chicago.  I'm gonna let these songs speak for themselves.

Singer/Songstress Kina Grannis-- Featured on the Ellen Show & VH1 (you know the girl with the video with the backgrounds entirely made from JellyBeans??) released yet another super creative video!? Why didn't anyone think of it. Instead of the usual peppy, handclapping songs she's known for she takes a stroll down meloncholy lane and I love it! Check out her new video ''Without Me''

Ed Sheeran-- I've posted or liked any song he's released so far and even went so far to download his Thank You EP (to his fans for making his album #1 in the UK charts) His album ''+'' will be released on June 12 here in the US. I was unable to see him in Chicago when he opened for Snow Patrol in April but while he was here he recorded a session and it shows his wide range of talent. It's 11:00 minutes long but if you skip to around 4:30, he does a cool change up.
