Last weekend I stopped by the 2nd Street Festival and caught a few minutes of a show by Newark, DE's, Gretchen Emery Band. They were doing original work, and playing at the Fairmount Ave. Stage. They just put out a new album last month, titled "If Love Were Enough". The song playing here is the lead song on the album, "Don't Say Goodnight" :::

Aug 06 : "Truth is" - Handsome Boy Modeling School

Last week "Democracy Now!" played part of this track as an interlude between a couple news stories. I like the stylings and instruentals in this.

"Democracy Now!" is my favorite news source. While the corporate media (NBC, etc.) is invaluable in its own way with its far-reaching resources, they're often slow to cover, weakly cover, or just not cover stories where people are challenging corporate malfeasance or societal structural issues. ... I do listen to corporate media every day to learn of incidents in the news, but I look to "Democracy Now!" for a deeper look and to learn of other events that the corporate media just doesn't cover to begin with.

"Democracy Now!" has a news summary at the beginning of each show, and then goes on to cover a few of the stores in more depth. Between each of the stories, they play a short interlude. This was where I heard "Truth is" last week. Here it is. I was immediately pulled in by the stylings :::
