Seriously, does anyone have Episode 32 of the podcast stored away on their computer?  I would really like to be able to have it for my show archive, and you're my only hope.  That's right, YOU.  Call it a way of showing thanks for me sharing Kate Tucker And Sons Of Sweden today.  Sure, you probably don't really know much about the pop songstress from Ohio, but I guarantee that you will want to after you hear the gem below.  The girl has got an instantly captivating voice and a brand new album titled Kate Tucker And The Sons Of Sweden, which is the follow-up to her much praised, Starbucks supported EP, Eros Turannos.  Trust me when I say her bandwagon is going to get crowded fast, so jump on and hold tight now.  Enjoy.

:Kate Tucker And The Sons Of Sweden - Faster Than Cars:  I've always felt that there are two different styles of melodic pop.  Sometimes it's made in the most interesting of ways, so it comes off almost like a little sonic adventure.  Then other times it's just rooted in simplicity and smart songwriting.  The latter of the two would be the category that this song falls into.  There isn't too much of anything in the arrangement that will stick with you after the song ends, but the words that gracefully flow out of Kate's mouth will beat around in your head for quite awhile.  This is more than good.

This is a piece for a song titled Say Love, which was directed by a crafty lady named Miriam Bennett.  It was made before Kate joined up with the Sons Of Sweden, so the sound is a little different.  But like I always say, there's nothing wrong with a little variety.
