TUNESday: "The Stars Are Ours" by Mayer Hawthorne

I've been hitting up iTunes regularly to get inspiration for this TUNESday feature, with my goal being a selection of songs and artists that are representative of my eclectic taste in music. Some will be mainstream artists with hits that you hear 50 times a day on your favorite radio station, others will be slightly more obscure and venture deeper in to genres that may not get the credit they deserve. This week I came across an artist that falls in to the latter category. After checking out some of his latest tracks, I've decided Mayer Hawthorne is a must-have for my playlist.

 

The album's title is "Where Does This Door Go" and features selections with a heavy throwback feel that I really dig. Check out a live performance of the single "The Stars Are Ours" below, or hit up the album's iTunes page for a preview with much better sound quality.
