Muzzle of Bees loves 4 day weekends. I’ve got some MP3′s for you to check out below, I think you’ll like them.

Morcheeba – In The Hands of Gods (featuring Biz Markie)

Morcheeba released their disc, Get Mashed this year, which was previously only available as a bootleg. If you’re like me, you are probably upset that Morcheeba now boasts a new female singer in their line-up. Either way, the track above features an amazing track laced with Biz Markie’s flow.

Matt Costa – Sunshine

After a successful summer tour opening for Jack Johnson and signing to Jack’s record label, Matt Costa is currently flying under the radar. His music, strongly influenced by early Lennon/McCartney collaborations, is refreshing and nice. The track “Sunshine” posted above is the standout on Matt’s album, “Songs We Sing.”

Jackson Browne – For A Dancer

I used to hate flying. In fact, I took a 3 day train ride from San Diego up to Washington and across to Wisconsin once. Since my job requires I travel a couple times a month, I had to get used to flying pretty quick. I stumbled across this song while my ipod was on shuffle. I only have one Jackson Browne album, and it’s pretty great. The song “For A Dancer” gets played every time I get on a plane. It’s just really calming.

Ray Charles – Do I Ever Cross Your Mind

I finally got “Ray Charles: The Complete Country & Western Recordings 1959-1986,” and it was more than I ever imagined it being. Ray Charles music means a lot to me, he’s up there on my favorite artists list. The MP3 above is strong enough to break a heart or heal a broken one in my opinion.

Mike Doughty – St. Louise Is Listening

I saw Mike Doughty a few months ago at the High Noon Saloon here in Madison. It was the first time I had seen him with his new band. I had seen him open for Galactic solo a number of times. I hesitate to say that I was blown away by his performance, but it was definitely very memorable. Towards the end of his set he played, “St Louise Is Listening.” It sounded great then, and so does this MP3, so give it a listen!

My Morning Jacket – I Will Be There When You Die

This version of the song was released on the “Songs From a Brown Hotel EP” soundtrack that was released from the Elizabethtown movie. It also appeared on MMJ’s album, “The Tennessee Fire.” I think this one sound a lot better.
