Among the thousands hundreds dozens few emails I receive from musicians and/or record companies asking me to tell you about the music they’ve made and would like you to hear, one was from a record company called Radiant Future Records promoting the music of Martin Gordon.
The email I received had a message about Martin’s Pledge Music request (see video below), along with samples of songs from his forthcoming album, Include Me Out.
(Trivia: It was the first email I’ve received where the songs were actually in the message, not attached to it. I don’t know how they did it, I but I think it’s neat.)
Anyway, one of the songs I heard in the email reminded me of a track by Fountains of Wayne.
This…
Martin Gordon – “Gotta Go Green” (2013) (excerpt)
…reminded me of this:
Fountains Of Wayne – “Someone To Love“ (2007) (excerpt)
They may not be all that similar, but Martin’s thingy reminded me of Fountains Of Wayne’s thingy.
Here’s a bit more of “Gotta Go Green”. It’s not the whole thing, but it’s all that’s available at the moment:
Martin Gordon – “Gotta Go Green“ (2013)
And here’s the full version of “Someone To Love”:
