If it’s a Monday in January, it must be Martha Wainwright at The Rockwood Music Hall.  If you were at The Rockwood during Martha’s last two shows, you know that Martha will play some new songs, some old songs, and perhaps a cover or two.  Get all the details about tonight’s show here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.

If you’d rather stay home, here are two music videos for you.  The first is from Harper Blynn,a four piece rock band with a pop sensibility and terrific harmonies.  They play New York City a good deal and have a large following here.   I used to see Pete Harper on 7th Avenue all the time (not lately though).  The video of  This Is It shows the one of the songs which I think shows off what this band can do; just click here to see it.

Next up are The Jayhawks, a band from Minneapolis formed in the mid-1980s.  Members Gary Louris and Mark Olson formed the core of the band until Mark left the band in the mid-90s.  The Jayhawks have reformed with their classic lineup and have a new record in the works.  In this clip, from about six months ago, The Jayhawks cover Bad Time which appeared on their now classic album, Tomorrow the Green Grass, and originally was a Grand Funk Railroad song.  Just click here to see this video at Now I’ve Heard Everything.
