Song of the Day - August 30, 2006

Manchester is a never ending source of musical talent. The latest talent flowing from Manchester happens to be Jim Noir, an extradiorinary talent that some have likened to Brian Wilson. A listen to Tower of Love will quickly show that the Beach Boys have been a huge influence on Mr. Noir. Of course being British, he has also been influenced by the likes of The Kinks and The Beatles. "Tell Me What to Do" clearly comes from the mold of The Beatles; while "Climb a Tree," another favorite tune, has some psychedelic tendencies, etheral harmonies, and an overall feel of the 60's. The best song, however, is "My Patch." The vocal harmonies, toy-like piano, and overall catchiness of the song just scream pop masterpiece. I love it. Click here to listen.
