Repeat visitor to A Little More Vodka, Courtney Barnett, released the video for her latest single Avant Gardner on October 1, and while it really doesn’t follow the lyric for the song at all, it follows the true CB spirit of fun.

Read MoreFrequent visitor to A Little More Vodka, Courtney Barnett, teams up with Hoodoo Guru’s Dave Faulkner for this fantastic cover of Died Pretty’s Everybody Moves.

Courtney combines elements of blues-rock with alt-pop to create a totally unique sound used extensively in her music creation. Case in point is Courtney’s Scotty Says from her April 2012 EP, I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris. Courtney Barnett knows how to weave humor seamlessly into her songs. More importantly, these songs are…
Read MoreIt’s hard to believe that the year is over and my goal to keep this blog going and updated has worked far better than I would have imagined back in January 2012. I couldn’t have done it without your feedback-your “likes” and “reblogs” were very much appreciated. Let’s face it though, the blog could not happen at all without the music.
