Music Envy: Updates and Shoutouts!
halfwaynorth has been working hard over the last few months trying to prepare for the release of our latest EP ‘Ghost Shuffle.’ One of the most exciting things we are working on is our visual image. We have gotten to work with some great stylists, photographers, and directors and are looking forward to working with even more in the future.
Kasia Koniar, one of the directors we are working with, has been a huge supporter of halfwaynorth over the last few months. Her guidance has expanded our minds and our hearts. We just want to give a little bit of that love back. Her latest video has been entered into a contest and is set to Moby’s latest ‘Wait For Me’ and it is beautiful.
Help Kasia win top prize and vote! (Don’t forget to spread the word)

Music Envy: Yawny at the Apocalypse (Andrew Bird)
A nice little peice by Mr. Bird himself. The video (not by Bird) really emphasizes the destruction of the natural world, but really I just like it because we are spoofing some Yanni. Yanni and his mustache.

Music Envy: Stevie Nicks “Wild Heart”
I’m not a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks, but its mostly due to lack of exposure. A friend of mine posted this video the other night and since then I’ve watched it about a billion times. It’s simply gorgeous.

Music Envy: Whodini - Freaks come out at night
Who can deny the pure awesomeness of this Brooklyn based trio’s hit “Freaks come out at night?” This song is a far cry from current hip hop, featuring a full on singing embrace of friendship followed by the sweet surrender of a 1980’s hip hop beat.
Music Envy: Carl Sagan - A Glorious Dawn
This has been around for quite some time, but here @ hwn central it’s been on repeat all morning. Just wanted to share for anyone who hasn’t seen it, and if you have it’s a great time to take a listen!
Music Envy: Steve Smith Drum Solo
Although Steve ends up looking a little dorky because he has a headset on, his technique and control are out of this world.
Steve’s videos, tips and tricks have helped out Darby’s drumming to the Nth degree over the past year. They’ve even helped me learn a thing or two about drums and drumming.

Music Envy: Florence and The Machine
I was just introduced to Florence + The Machine yesterday. The musicians seem to rotate behind the lead vocals of Florence Welch, who provides her very soulful voice, face and name to the project . She reminds me of Fiona Apple’s Extraordinary Machine performance. (Highly Recommended)
I’ve yet to hit the entire album, Lungs, up yet. But I’m quite impressed with the video/myspace/youtube offerings. In particular Drumming Song has really caught my attention. Rabbit Heart gets my body moving with its slow grooving bass-line. The song that first got me was ‘You’ve Got The Love’ It’s over the top video and melody really capture everything I like about Florence and the Machine.
