"Strong Hand" by Chvrches

Song: Strong Hand
Artist: Chvrches
Album: The Bones of What You Believe (bonus track)
Commentary: The choreography of this fitness show is impeccable. The whole music video is just pretty spot on. Plus Chvrches deserve some love here, even if they didn't make my year-end list.
Why don't our fans ever do anything this great for Esteban songs? Just because we don't have any originals?? Or even releases?

"Erie Canal" by Alasdair Roberts

So I guess I missed about a month here, whoops!

Song: Erie Canal
Artist: Alasdair Roberts
Album: Weary Engine Blues: Crossroads
Also try:  Jason Molina, Amalgamated Sons of Rest, Damien Jurado
Commentary: Great compilation of great Jason Molina songs (although I can't find record of the original of this one). This song does a lot in a short span. Also, Alasdair Roberts' voice is right up my alley.
PS - I'm still a sucker for that lo-fi sound.
