If you were channel surfing in a turkey haze last night and passed by Grey's Anatomy you may have thought you heard some familiar voices in one of the songs. It wasn't just the tryptophan playing tricks, you did. Last night's Grey's featured the song "Some Surprise" from The Cake Sale that counts Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody among its high profile members.
The Cake Sale recorded a disc (of the same name!) conceived by Brian Crosby and Paul Noonan of Bell X1, that also features, among others, Glen Hansard of the Frames and the film ONCE, Nina Persson of the Cardigans, Lisa Hannigan and Josh Ritter. The record is a benefit for Oxfam's
Make Trade Fair campaign and all the songwriters have donated their publishing from these songs - a very cool gesture.
You can stream The Cake Sale
here and can check out the video for "Some Surprise" over on
YouTube. Yep Roc records is also treating you to an mp3 download of "Black Winged Bird" get it
here.
TV music aficionados will recognize
Bell X1 or at least their song “Eve, the Apple of my Eye” from being featured on the OC. Bell X1 will release
Flock, its U.S. debut, on February 19th.
