In our ongoing series this month of pulling out videos from oblivion and onto the web, we now come to Daniel Ahearn who probably deserves one of these "Los Angeles Loves..." things more than anybody. In previous accounts of Mr. Ahearn, we described our initial flirtation and then our full-blown love fest, so there really isn't much left to say other than that it's about time people took notice. Earlier this year, Ahearn's lovely ballad "I Will Let You Get Go" floated over the best scene in the movie No Strings Attached, where Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher's characters break up. Sure, they get back together (spoiler alert), but it's so much better (and believable) when Kutcher is nowhere near our future wife. Still, it's a beautiful sync and one that has gotten Ahearn a little more lovin'.
We're hoping it continues with his move from a one-name band to the addition of the utterly gorgeous Mindy Jones in the form of Daniel Ahearn & The Jones. And to finish off the year, they just released the new video for our favorite song on the new album Long Way Home, "Waiting For You To Leave." 368 of the 370 total current views on that video are us so you all need to catch up. There's some serious eye candy in it and, yes, we do mean Ahearn in that snazzy white tux and magician/porn star 'stache (shot in front of
Our video, however, is from 2010 at a show we presented at pehrspace in which Ahearn and Jones sang "Rumors." It's yet another favorite of ours from his repertoire. We understand it's not the best recording (there's some strange flanger effect on the audio) so we've also added the official video below for your viewing pleasure along with all the great videos he's released this year. Enjoy.
Daniel Ahearn's latest release Long Way Home is available on iTunes and Bandcamp. Look for Daniel Ahearn & The Jones' new EP "It's Not You, It's Us" out early next year. See them perform 1/15 at the Bootleg Bar.
