Mike James & DJ Kriegs

I think it's only fair that we start off the week with some folksy delightfulness--courtesy of Good Old War. The Philadelphians released their sophomore album, Good Old War at the beginning of this month which includes the song "My Own Sinking Ship," an acoustic, somewhat saturnine ditty about love, or rather it's imminent finality. Interesting trivia note (thanks to their explanation on MySpace): the band took their name from the band members last names--Goodwin, Arnold, and Schwartz--whilst struggling to come up with a good moniker when they formed back in 2008. This first single "My Own Sinking Ship" is available for super free download from the band on their website! How neat of them :-)
