Eleni Mandell
According to The New Yorker, Eleni Mandell is "perhaps the best unsigned artist in the business." Whuh-hoa. I wouldn't go that far, but she is undoubtedly a beautiful singer-songwriter. Each one of the dozen songs off her newest album, Miracle of Five, is poetically written and sung. Eleni's a crooner -- I'm a firm believer that she could cover most of Sinatra's songs convincingly if the opportunity presented itself (hint, hint to anyone this could possibly be a proactive hint to). With that said, her music is soft and slow, with a definite jazzy feel. With her person on acoustic guitar, a handful of other musicians are present both in the studio and onstage to complement her "smooth like honey" voice (pardon my Fiona). This includes a soft snare, delicate keys, and oftentimes an easy sax. Her voice, her guitar, and her musicians combine in an effortlessly charming sound that help anyone and everyone unwind at the end of the day.

Soyea I did not know that Mentos + Coke= EXPLOSION!!! My friend, Harry (hi Harry), sent me a pretty intense video documenting many, many Mentos/Coke explosions. Yes, this is music-related -- the song in the background is pretty catchy. =) Here it is.
Soyea SXSW is so close I can taste it. Head here for an updated list of bands as of March 2 coming down to our humble little city, if you haven't already.

domino effect out. I managed to convince someone fond of putting tubes of energy powder stuff in their water that mentos in diet coke achieves the same effect; I told her it'd be explosive - did I lie?
