Song of the Day - August 8, 2006

The invasion from the North continues with Canada's Tam. Tam is actually Tam Isabel Pardo. She is part of the growing stable of artists on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label, which recently signed a distribution deal with Universal. A talented artist, she formerly played guitar in a Django Reinhardt tribute band and wrote lyrics for The Unicorns. Her self-titled album is a collection of songs personally selected by Thurston Moore. Besides original tunes, there are also a few covers: Arcade Fire's "No Car Go," and Daddy's Hands "Incest at Best." It is the disturbing cover of "Incest at Best," that immediately grabbed me when listening to her album. Check out Tam, you will not be disappointed. Click here to listen.
