		<description><![CDATA[It was a little over three years ago. I was a hopeful contestant three rounds into my college's attempt at American Idol, and in desperate need of a new song to showcase another layer of my vocal abilities. In response to my anxious pleas, I was met with dozens of suggestions from friends, all good, but none of which I felt would accomplish what I needed: everything had been sung (or shrieked) at local dive karaoke contests. I needed a secret formula. Then, in my eleventh hour, my New Zealand-raised roommate said the sentence I'd been waiting to hear: "I know the perfect song for you" ;no one in the U.S. really knows the artist, but her music; oh my God! her voice is unbelievable!

		<description><![CDATA[It might be a disease. Whether in the theater, surrounded by a spellbound audience or in my living room watching the characters of ABC's latest drama dash across my television, I'm never quite consumed by the plot. Always, always I am more tuned in to what's going on behind the scenes: soundtracks reel me in. While those around me channel laser-like focus on dialogue, character interaction, and hidden symbolism, I am busy jotting down lyrical snippets on my BlackBerry to explore later.

		<description><![CDATA[I didn't watch the Grammys live this year, but thanks to the efficiency of social media, I was quite up to speed on each and every development. A few things worth discussing (or deliberating):

1. ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œWho is Esperanza Spalding?ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â Question of the night the year. Yet, while all of the world's Beliebers (and nonBeliebers) are in a Twitter tizzy about an alleged musical coup d'ÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â©tat, Espe is laughing all the way to her next sold out show with a shiny, golden gramophone in hand. I'm impressed that the Academy chose to honor an unconventional nominee, at the risk of infinite backlash (Drake and Florence were nominated for Best New Artist too, Beliebers). Not that the Grammy panel cares about a swarm of prepubescent tweens.

		<title>Unsigned, Unreal: Artists To Know Before Everyone Else &#8212; Carl Hauck</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Initially, I thought the chills rushing over me were from a lack of heat in my room, but after honing in on the reverberating chords floating in my headÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Âalas: my chills' true source was confirmed.

I don't know where Carl Hauck came from, but what I really don't know is why he's yet unsigned.

He first started toying with the guitar in third grade, and it's hard to believe that this ink-on-the-diploma's-barely-dry recent grad has produced song after successful song (from his bedroom, no less) and completed an intense circuit of tours and shows only a few years later. Flawless vocals, guitar chords at turns simple and intricate, and lyrics that even Spenser wouldn't sneeze at have been the fail-proof trinity of Hauck's not one, not two, but four widely acclaimed albums. 

I listened to his two latest, Windjammer and Counter Intelligence. And then I listened to them again. Then again. And this time it had less to do with my tendency to become obsessed with a song, album, or artist (see ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œDo Studio Effects/Production A Good Song Make?ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â), but more with a hankering to pinpoint my favorite track.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently discovered Florence and The Machine, and to say that I like them is an understatement. I've been waking up to them, passing out to them, shredding mail to them. At the top of my ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œon loopÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â list is ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œCosmic LoveÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â. With over 3.5 million YouTube viewsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Âthird only to their most recognizable tune ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œDog Days Are OverÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ÂÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Âit went from somewhere in the middle of YouTube's playlist, to the very top of mine. The song's drama hits full throttle in the first 30 seconds; the lyrics are poignant and substantial (no grenade-catching here); the drum line is strong and powerful: for a true music-lover, it's just an objectively beautiful song.

But what really makes the song so good, so stunning, is lead singer Florence Welsh's voice. The young English crooner opens her mouth, and from it wafts something that sounds like a mix of the coldest day in January, the view from Fuji's summit, a first-time mother's very first lullaby. It is crisp, majestic and unimaginably pure. If ever the word ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œetherealÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â could be applied to somethingÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Âand actually mean somethingÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Âit fits right in a sentence after the words ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œFlorence Welsh's voice is __________ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â.
