i’m trying to find this song that i hear often…..in jam street tonight, on radios, in dimmed lounges, wherever drago is…..and i can’t…..it seems to absolutely slip out of my fingers and become strangely, annoyingly, illusive. And you know? i can’t even describe it, hum a bit of it, make a scrabbly attempt at conveying it to anyone….and so it sits in my head, the impression of a song, the feel of a sound and i wait for it to come find me.
i can barely read this….but it makes me smile just seeing it

Stoney - “Jailbird”
A reader e-mailed Tuneage recommending Stoney a few days ago. This morning, his album The Scene and The Unseen dropped through my letterbox, and it only took a couple of listens to realise I’d found my favourite album so far this year.
Stoney is a British musician that got started in his basement in Sheffield — home to multitudinous great musicians — in 2001. Since then, he’s supported the Arctic Monkeys, played at Glastonbury and SXSW, and garnered critical acclaim from various British publications, including NME, for his latest album, The Scene and The Unseen.
This track is one of the singles, and the first track, from The Scene and The Unseen. You can, and absolutely should, download three more from his website and stream another four on his last.fm page. And after that, I highly recommend buying the album.
