I found Angus & Julia Stone over at Untitled Records. The Stones are a brother sister duo hailing from Australia. Their song "Silver Coin" exhibits all the features I love in a song, namely strings, melancholy vocals and fabulous violin tuning sounds right at the beginning. If you're looking to listen to a great folksy song, check it out here.There's also "Bye Bye Bye" by Plants & Animals.

I decided to take some time and look for new music after all. I certainly have enough reading on Financial Accounting and tax law to do, but it's just not as rewarding as listening to music, as I'm sure pretty much anyone on the face of this planet can agree. As per usual I stopped by betterPropaganda to see what's new and it turns out that I found two songs that are rather great straight away.

I think this isn't that new, but no matter, it's very entertaining (and cute). The lack of posts of late is a bit shocking, but it turns out having to do regular reading for classes again sort of limits my time spent checking for new music online.If you want to know more about the Yellow Drum Machine, go here.

Looks like YouTube now has an answer to Pandora and Last.fm. It's called Disco and it essentially does the same thing as Pandora: pick a band and it creates a play list including your selected band and other similar offerings. You can modify it once it starts playing too. It's pretty good and what's especially great about this is that you can use it even if you're outside the US, which can't be

I meant to post this on Christmas day, but turns out that having family over ensures that you are to busy to remember about your blog. There are worse things though and I've got three songs to share with you now. So let's get to it:I heard the first two songs on a TV show and in a movie. I've been watching Joss Whedon's Dollhouse since it started and it's been pretty underwhelming, to be honest,

So I'm pretty sure I haven't posted anything since Halloween or some such and I'm just about to head off to Munich for the weekend, but I just heard/saw "White Noise" by Lauren O'Connell over at the J-Walk Blog and I figured I should at least post this before I leave. O'Connell did the song and video in GarageBand and iMovie. It's pretty incredible. I hope you like.

They posted about this at the A.V. Club: a Montreal-based producer called Tor remixed a couple tracks off of Sufjan Stevens' album Illinoise and a few other records with Aesop Rock, Outkast and some other artists I'm not familiar with. So far I've only heard the "Star of Wonder/None Shall Pass" remix, but it's really cool, to say the least. The best part is you can get all of the songs for free

I've been preparing this post for quite a while now. But today seems like the ideal time to actually publish it, seeing as it's Halloween and all. Especially considering that this is my landmark 100th post. I hope they haven't all sucked so far :)I have a special treat for everyone. This one's courtesy of my bud Ingers (his blog is over here, it's mostly hip-hop stuff). He sent me this brilliant

I just realized that I never wrote about the wonderful song "The Sweetest Tooth" by Camphor before. The song has been on my list of staples that I listen to very frequently for a very long time and it's really odd that it should have slipped my mind to post about it on here. It's got all the hallmarks of my favorite kind of song: Strings and smoky vocals. If you like that kind of stuff too I

As you might have guessed, I've been back from vacation for quite some time. I've been in a bit of a procrastinating mood since then. I'm just listening to this rather fabulous song though, so I've become inspired to at least post about that.I'm talking about Florence and the Machine's "You've Got the Love (the XX Remix)", which you can listen to and download here. There's also a second song

Well, I'm off to Asia for a month. Weeee! I don't suppose I'll be blogging much, if at all, during that time. I thought I'd give a heads up to the one person who will read this :)Here's a funny picture for you to laugh (I hope at least chuckle) at.Until soon then!

A little over a week ago a very good friend of mine asked me to send him some more songs by a really cool Aussie group called Hilltop Hoods. They're a hip-hop act. My other friend Ingers (check his blog) had told me about them, probably about a year ago and I have to say that they're still great to listen to. Evidently Viraj a.k.a. first friend a.k.a. not-Ingers agrees.The point of that very long

This post is beyond overdue and because of that it's also extremely random. I've been saving up things that I've been meaning to write about for a good while now. Consequently there's a veritable plethora of unrelated songs and other music related things to mention. I think I'll just start with the first thing I have noted down and go from there.I found a really cool iPhone app over at the J-Walk

Mayer Hawthorne is recommended over at betterPropaganda and his song "Maybe So, Maybe No" is the kind of retro cool you want in your music collection. Get it here.

I've decided to go about getting the rest of the muzak that was on Chuck's finale last week. Can't believe it's been a whole seven days already and we haven't heard about renewals and whatnot yet. Still keeping fingers crossed.While we're waiting, you can head over to here, where you can get The Thermals' "Now We Can See" or if you'd rather just listen to it first, that can be done at the same

Seeing as Chuck has stopped being on (hopefully only for the time being), I've started catching up on other shows that I've been meaning to watch. This means that I will probably finally get around to seeing The Wire, of which I've only seen about three episodes I think, but it's good so far. I also caught United States of Tara back when if first came on TV, whenever that was, and stopped

My favoritest band of the moment was on Chuck. W00t. Alex Patsavas sure knows what she's doing. You can listen to and download Blind Pilot's track "3 Rounds and a Sound" here. That is all. Oh yeah, and I've added the song to my own mp3 player as well, more convenient that way if you just want to listen. Carry on!PS.: NBC had better renew Chuck or I'm gonna be crazy annoyed.

I wrote about Kid Cudi kind of a long time ago, but I was just browsing through videos over at Motionographer and stumbled on the video to his song "Day 'N' Nite". It's got a really cool blend of live action sequences and some hand drawn illustrations that you should have a quick look at. I'm still liking the chill sound of the song too, so that's a plus :)Day 'n' Nite - Kid Cudi from DP on

More Bon Iver on Chuck last night. "Creature Fear" is off his older album For Emma, Forever Ago, but it's a really cute song. You can listen to it (and download it, if you so choose) here.Also next week is the last episode of Chuck of the season and potentially ever. If you still haven't gotten around to watching it - you're missing out big time. I'm glad I listened to my friend and started

I'm pimping Chuck yet again. It's awesome and totally worth your time. If you've never seen it, watch it this Monday at 8/7c on NBC. It's the second to last episode of the season (and potentially of the series). So if you're a Nielsen family, tune in and help to convince the network to pick it up for the fall season. I'd be really happy :D And if you're not, you should be watching anyway because

I recently had a look at all the cool music that was in the archives over at Untitled Records and I found this one great song: "The Clockwise Witness" by Devotchka. The song has beautifully arranged strings, as all my favorite songs do. You should just have a listen to it and you will hear why it's so great. Go here and scroll to the bottom of the post to listen to and/or download the song.Also,

I posted about Blind Pilot a few days ago and directed everyone to here, where you can get two of the duo's songs. As it turns out, after listening to the whole album, I have become even more enchanted with the group's music. Their song "The Story I Heard" has been added to the mp3 player to the right, so now you officially have no excuse not to listen to them.Enjoy. In the meantime I am going to

Apparently I have never posted about Fleet Foxes, which is a bit of a shame because they're really wonderful. I just saw that a song off their Sun Giant EP is now available here. You can also get their song "White Winter Hymnal" off their self-titled album at the same place. Fleet Foxes do a lot of very rich vocal harmonies that are just a real pleasure to listen to.

So the last time I headed over to Untitled Records, I found a great song by Helene called "International Klein Blue". I forgot to mention it in my post about stuff from that site (which included the awesome songs by Blind Pilot), but better late than never, right? You can get the Helene song here. Hope you like.

I thought I had posted about him already since I've been listening to his music for a while now, but after double-checking it turns out I haven't.Anyway I just recently got some of the songs on Bon Iver's new EP Blood Bank and they're really great.

I found something fabulous the other day over at Untitled Records. The songs "The Story I Heard" and "I Buried a Bone" by Blind Pilot are absolutely wonderful. The tunes feature lovely guitar arrangements and even lovelier vocal harmonies. Sigh. You definitely have to go check Blind Pilot out here.Additionally, I've been meaning to post about Blitzen Trapper for a while. They play great folksy

There seems to have been a veritable plethora of visitors to the blog lately (or at least that's what Google Analytics tells me). I wonder what inspired the recent increase in interest. Leave a comment if you can enlighten me on that subject.In music news: Last week's Chuck (by now you really can't be surprised at me bringing that show up any more) had a great Bloc Party song called "Signs" at

My obsession with The National continues unabated. Consequently I've found it necessary to add some of the band's songs to my little mp3 player on the right. If you flip around the selection you should find both "Ada" and "Slow Show" off the 2007 album Boxer. "Slow Show", as well as another song called "Fake Empire", were featured on Chuck, which is why it occurred to me to post about The

I've added another little tune to the player. It's called "A Storm is Going to Come" and it's by Piers Faccini, who apparently is French, but the song is in English. It was on Grey's Anatomy this past week, that show has really kind of gone to hell in a hand basket, let's hope that nonsense ends soon - and by that I mean either the ridiculousness or if there's no other option, the show.

Since I've been watching Chuck incessantly for a while now, I've also started paying more attention to the music and stumbled upon a lovely song by Grand Archives that I thought I'd share with everyone. I've already added "Sleepdriving" to the music player on the right, but if you'd prefer to have it on your computer, you can get it here. If you feel so inclined, I posted about Grand Archives's "

I just found something over at AV Club, I think it was, that will amuse you for a good ten minutes or so for sure. Go here. It's just a drum machine or sorts, but definitely at least mildly entertaining.

Well it seems like I haven't posted in a really long time yet again. I've been listening to a bunch of new stuff though. I finally got around to watching Chuck, which my friend had told me to see eons ago, but I never got around to, until now that is. It's a pretty hilariously awesome show. I suggest you check it out, if you're not familiar with it. It's sort of if The Office met Alias, with a

I wonder how discombobulated my mind must be for me to have neglected to write about TV on the Radio this whole time. I've been listening to them for a few years now and love their crazy eclectic brand of music. They mix pretty much any genre imaginable and they do it well. At least I happen to think so. If you don't know them yet, it's high time you listen to some of their stuff. I haven't been

I wonder what I've been up to lately? Clearly I haven't taken the time to post anything sensible in quite a while. In my defense I've been reading up on architecture like crazy the last couple of days because if I'm very lucky, we might look into building a new house some time in the near-ish future. There are some seriously cool things out there. I've mostly been interested in finding out more

I don't really have much to report on the music front because I've spent too much of my free time recently watching unhealthy amounts of House. Seriously. I've seen every episodes ever. Seasons 1 through 4 including all that's been on so far in season 5. It's not right. But shit happens when you have too much time.On a side note and completely irrelevant, but, my parents' computer has a German

I found Breathe Owl Breathe a few days ago over at untitledrecords.com and I quite enjoyed it. They have two of the band's songs on there. They're both good. It's more of my favorite kind of music, i.e. containing strings. If you share my affection for this, then you should check out the songs here.

Apparently Andrew Bird is releasing his next album this January 27th. Only a couple more months. For those of you out there who want to have an early listen to one of the tracks off Noble Beast go here or if you want it a little more permanently in your collection go here. The song's your pretty usual Bird tune, meaning there are strings and whistling, two things I happen to adore. If you like

Aceyalone is very, very different from most of the other music I talk about on here - it's hip-hop and the really good kind. I absolutely love the songs "All For U" and "Moonlit Skies", which are available for you to listen to and download here. There are a few other songs too, I haven't listened to all of them, but I remember not liking at least one of them. The two just above are great though.

You've probably heard Adele's "Hometown Glory" somewhere before. I feel like it's fairly ubiquitous, although maybe I just made that up or maybe, and this seems even more likely, I just wanted to use that word because it is wonderful. In any case. The song is quite great too. If you're one of those types who doesn't know it or someone who has neglected to add it to their music collection, here's

They featured a rather wonderful song on Bones last week. Generally the show could do with a better music supervisor - to be honest there have been quite a few blunders - but every once in a while they pick something pretty fabulous and Katie Gray's "Set Free" is one of those instances. The song seems like pretty standard singer/songwriter indie fare, but you'll notice pretty quickly that it's

In publishing that last post it occurred to me that I have made a rather egregious error in neglecting to mention Jenny Lewis' collaboration with the Watson Twins until just now. I really, really, really enjoyed that album (Rabbit Fur Coat). The intro, which sadly I can't find on the internet right now, is fabulous. There are, however, two songs available for you to enjoy right here. If you

I already posted about Starfucker once, but I noticed that there's another song by them that you can get for free on the interwebs. This one's called "Pop Song". Get it here.There was a bunch more stuff that I meant to post about, but I did end up getting a wee bit sidetracked. So I'll probably forget about most of that stuff.

As you've probably noticed I haven't updated in a pretty unbelievably long while. I do have some songs to write about, but I want to finalize the list first. In the meantime I have another tune by Spoon that I need to tell you about. I watched Stranger Than Fiction, which was better than I was expecting it to be, and anyway, they used a good number of Spoon songs throughout the film, but this

I have to add another song. I skipped it earlier, but I'm re-listening just now and I've decided to share it after all. It's "Turn You Inside Out" by Jimmy Edgar. It's definitely a house track. Listen and download here.Ok I had a mini freak-out when I tagged the post a few seconds ago because it turns out I've posted about Jimmy Edgar before. No repeat post though. Phew.

We had my sister's wedding a little while ago and then I was in Munich on vacation and we're still rushing from place to place with the new in-laws. But I'm finally spending my first day at home in a while and got to checking out the new recommendations over at betterPropaganda and boy is it a treasure trove this time around. I already

I've been pretty obsessed with the song "Stay Humble" by Tyler James lately. Till now I had to listen to it on his website, which I posted about a while back. But thanks to my mad googling skills I have found an actual mp3. Sweetness I tell you!Anyhoodle. I've added the song to my little music player on the right. And if you so choose, you may get it for yourself, as well as the other tracks off

Radiohead in and of itself is pretty cool. I think we can agree on that. But, this, this is really effing cool.Behold the 8-bit version, if you will, of "Nude" by Radiohead.

"Evil Urges" by My Morning Jacket is a really sweet song and by sweet I mean cool. I just realized that there are some bit string parts, which probably explains at least part of its allure. Mostly I'd say it's the intro that kind of kicks ass though. You had best listen to it yourselves. Available for listening and download here.Edit: After posting this I saw that I had already written about My

I already posted about The Republic Tigers, but I just saw that their song "Buildings and Mountains" is featured over at betterPropaganda, so if you haven't checked them out, you definitely need to! Do that here.Also, if you feel like a little pop. Have a listen to Lykke Li's "Dance Dance Dance".

They featured another song by Priscilla Ahn on last week's season finale of Grey's Anatomy and the song, called "A Dream", is really good again. I think Ahn's voice is just lovely. The song's a sort of melancholy little pop tune and it features strings (yay!). If you'd like to have a listen and download it, you can do so here.

I can't remember when I saw Millennium Mambo exactly, but it must have been some time towards the beginning of my time at college. The movie was bizarre to say the least, the kind of film that you only ever want to see once, but that sticks with you for a long time. The plot wasn't very memorable, but the audio visual experience was definitely unique. The whole movie is driven by a very slow

I heard this song called "Stay Humble" a while back and finally figured out it was by a guy whose name is Tyler James. Now, unfortunately I haven't been able to find it anywhere to download, but at least we can still listen to it. Either at Tyler James' official site or his myspace page. The song, in case you were wondering, is sort of an indie folksy pop ditty. I guess I listen to a lot of that

BetterPropaganda has featured another awesome song this month. Although I haven't really liked the other songs by Mates of State that I've heard so far, "My Only Offer" is really cool. It's just a cute little pop/rock song that I think should be generally pleasing. Listen and download here.

As you might or might not (if you don't personally know me, probably the latter) know, I'm a pretty big fan of classical music. I have a pretty limited selection on my computer, which includes all the important things like the famous Christmas masses and a bevy of other really famous works. Classical music is pretty much the only kind of music I will also listen to on the radio. If you've been in

I'm still riding that wave of happy summer-time music and it's good. I've added a bunch of Paolo Nutini to my playlist. There are quite a few songs off his album "These Streets" that are really great. I'm particularly fond of "New Shoes" and "Loving You". Actually there are other songs on that album that are rather splendid too. Unfortunately I don't know a place where you can download songs

Today our neighbor's dog Space mauled another neighbor's cat. It was really awful. So to kind of get over it I decided to listen to some of the really cheery music that you can only really truly enjoy on a warm summer day and I found this:"Simple Things" by dbClifford. It was featured on Brothers & Sisters (a truly fantastic show if you haven't seen it) some time last season and it's one of those

Haven't found much new music lately, save for two tunes I discovered thanks to Grey's. The first one's sort of a pop ditty, you know the kind that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside and that's kind of empowering. Well, Sara Melson's "Feel It Coming" is sort of like that. Check it out here.The other song I'm liking a lot lately is "Buildings & Mountains" by The Republic Tigers. With a band name

Haven't posted anything on account of not having anything new that's really awesome. Interestingly though, my friend Zach mentioned Goldfrapp to me the other day and they used a song of theirs on this past week's episode of Grey's, so now I'm listening to that stuff a little bit. It's quite good, although a fair bit slower than I remembered it being. If you want to check it out, I suggest going

I just found a lovely song called "Amy" by Pedal Steel Transmission. It's a little country and strangely, it's exactly what I'm in the mood for. The guitar is awesome. Check it out here. There are two other songs available at the same spot and I'm going to have a listen to them right now, we shall see if they're any good.

Ok, so I don't particularly like this song - it's not awful, but not great either - but I had to mention it because, well, it's called "I Wanna Be Your STD". HA. Seriously, it's by some guy called Jimmy Edgar. It's drum-n-bass, but anyway. Check it out here.

The song "Opposite Direction" by Union of Knives was used in a Grey's episode quite a while ago and I kind of forgot about it, but while re-watching some episodes, I noticed again and it just came up on my playlist, so I thought I'd share. It's a little hard to find a good category to put it in - in general, I'd say it's pretty standard alternative stuff, except that it's running on some really

I forget how I stumbled upon this, but if you haven't seen Bjork's video for her song "Wanderlust" go do it here. It's crazy. Mind you it'll take a while to load because it's really big, but so worth it.Moving on to the instrumentals part of the post. I found two folk/experimental instrumentals recently and though I'd share. The first one is "Continental Drift" by Harris Newman and the other one

Found this cat over at betterPropaganda. Crookers' remix of Kid Cudi's song "Day N Night" is a great hip-hop tune, which has been given the electronica treatment. You should probably put it on your party playlist. Listen and download here.

Goodness. I've been meaning to post about a lot of things, but for whatever reason I haven't been able to actually make myself do it. Which is a shame. I've been re-watching a bit of Grey's lately and stumbled upon Kate Havnevik's excellent song "New Day" again. I hadn't listened to any Kate stuff recently, but seeing the episode again, reminded me how awesome her stuff is, especially "New Day".

I know I've posted about The Maccabees about 109238109224839457 times. The reason why I'm being annoying about them again is that I've decided to be sneaky and put up the file for downloading. If you haven't gotten the bestest song ever, you can get "Toothpaste Kisses" here.

Finally got around to acquiring all the songs I didn't have yet from this season of Grey's. There were a number of tunes that I quite like. I'll be posting about them, but I wanted to start off with Priscilla Ahn's "Rain". It's a really wonderfully sweet pop song; it's very slow and it's got strings (yay!). Check it out here.

This shiz is featured over at betterPropaganda right now. It's pretty crazy, but somehow I'm really liking it a lot. Santogold makes "bombastic, bass-oriented songs that fuse punk, reggae, grime, and indie rock with electro" - sounds like it must rock, right? Well it does indeed. Listen to and download Xxxchange's remix of Santogold's song "L.E.S. Artistes" right now.

For reasons unbeknownst to me (ok so I really do know, but we're not gonna get into it here) I've been a little blue lately and to remedy this, I had a look through my music library to find some uplifting stuff. Mostly funk influenced things, some old stuff mostly. In the process, though, I found some cool things that I think everyone should know about.Right now, My Morning Jacket came on. I

I literally have a bevy of new stuff to post about. Went on a music spree the other day and found a whole bunch of new tunes that I like. Here they are. Neon Neon's "I Lust U" is definitely in the pop/electronica genre. It's a fun little ditty. Listen and download here.Next there is "Rockist Pt. 4" by School of Language, which you can download here. This one, and I'm sure the title of the track

Personally, I think the lead singer from The National has one of the sexiest voices ever. Check out "All the Wine" and you shall see the light. I really dig the song. See if you agree here.Actually, while you're at it you should also take the time to listen to some Tindersticks. Their song "Trying to Find a Home" (available for download here) is just lovely and wonderful and calming and

Just found this kid over on betterPropaganda (what would I do without that website?). Paris is a really unique rapper. The songs are a lot more political than your average fare, which is not for everyone, but I always like a good song with some substance. I especially like "What Would You Do?" (listen and download here); it reminds me just a little bit of some older stuff like "Auf der dunklen

I already wrote about "Kisses and Interrogation" by Judah Johnson a while back. However, I went back to listen to the other song that's freely available at betterPropaganda and I have to say that "Little Sounds" is great too. Check it out yourself here.

If you're looking for some really great instrumental rock (I'd say it's a bit melancholic too) then check out Mogwai. Listen and download here. The music's pretty slow and I think you have to be in the mood for it, but when you are it's lovely.

You know I was just thinking that most of the music I've been posting is new stuff that I'm discovering every day that I like, but there are in fact so many old favorites that deserve some of my attention too. On that note, I should mention Spoon. They're not one of my all time favorite bands (those include Grant Lee Buffalo and Grant Lee Phillips, Rilo Kiley, the Stereophonics and a bunch of

Just stumbled across these guys again while browsing music at betterPropaganda. I've been listening to Hot Hot Heat for a while now, but I saw that I hadn't mentioned them on here quite yet. Definitely check out the song "Goodnight Goodnight". You can listen and download that song here. Other songs available at the same link are "Island of the Honest Man", "Middle of Nowhere" and "Bandages". Hope

So I know I've posted about Vampire Weekend before, but I just watched the SNL episode from March 8th(? - I think so anyway), ostensibly because my most favoritest person ever (right now anyway), Amy Adams, was the host. To get back to Vampire Weekend - it's official. They're huge nerds. But in a kind of endearing way. It was sort of hysterical watching them hop around on stage. It looked very

I've been debating for quite some time on whether or not to post about Antony and the Johnsons and I've finally decided that it'd be a good idea even if just to add something a little different to the list of bands I've already written about. Antony and the Johnsons really are very unique. It's a lot slower and more melancholy than the other music on here, especially the more recent stuff.

Found this song called "Miniature Fantasy" over at NewGrounds a while ago. It's a fun dance-type number. There are two versions of the song. Listen to and download the shorter version or the longer vinyl mix.

I was playing this song earlier today and my mom, of her own volition, commented that she thought it was cool. Hence, I'm pretty sure other people will like it too. Thus, I present "Fa-Fa-Fa" by Datarock. Listen and download here.Also I should remind anyone who has been silly enough not to heed my advice about The Maccabees in the previous post, that the band really, really is fantastic. Well at

CocoRosie are two sisters, one of whom is an opera singer (the group's music isn't at all operatic though), who make some lovely music. It sort of reminds me a bit of Psapp and maybe Ivy or even a little Imogen Heap. But they're just different enough to make them very exciting indeed. There are three songs to listen to and download here. I recommend "Noah's Ark" and "Good Friday".Also in my Amy

Dig "One Man" by Eulogies. The bridge is great. Listen and download here.Also found this song called "Sunday Morning" by K-Os (pronounced chaos, apparently). It's a little hip-hop, but still melodic. Different from other stuff on here. Listen and download.Andrew Bird has been on my list of favs for a while now I'd say and I just found another song that I hadn't really listened to over at

I think Blonde Redhead is another one of the many bands that I heard about because they were featured on Grey's Anatomy. Alex Patsavas, the music supervisor for the show, kind of rocks my socks. Incidentally, she is also the lady behind the music on The OC, Supernatural, Chuck, Gossip Girl, Mad Men and many, many other shows and movies.Anyway, back to Blonde Redhead. I absolutely adore their song

The song "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend just came up on my playlist and it reminded me that I wanted to post it a while back. So listen and, as per usual, download here. Oddly enough, when I was over at betterPropaganda to specifically find the band's page, I saw that they were also featured on the front page today.

Ok so this stuff is waaaaay different from anything else on here really. But every once in a while you just have to switch things up. I first heard Teargas & Plateglass when they used one of their songs ("Plague Burial") in the X-Men: The Last Stand trailer and I just had to find out what that song was. Anyway, it's really dark drum-n-bass. Be prepared. Listen and download here.

Check out Band of Horses. Especially "The Funeral". Here.Ok while finding the link for Band of Horses, I stumbled upon the link to Grand Archives, who are very cool too. Listen and download here. It's only one song, called "Torn Blue Foam Couch", it's a good song though.Finally, have a listen to the Annuals. They're fab. The music's pretty slow and calm. Hope you like.

I dunno if you've noticed, but Scandinavians kind of rock in the music department. For starters there's the Norwegians: Kate Havnevik has been a huge favorite of mine for a long time now (thanks Grey's for introducing me). You can listen and download here. I think her best song is "New Day", but each song is kind of different and it's nice to just discover the different nuances to each

I'm kind of a little in love with The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The songs are great. Download and listen here. According to betterPropaganda, by the way, these guys have perfected that "mid-60s, Anglo dandy, garage rock retro thing" - whatever that means. Just have a listen anyway.

The Automatic's song "Monster" is featured in DDR, which I'm playing so much these days that I managed to get myself a rather huge blister on my left foot (gross). However, while re-watching some old Bones episodes from earlier in this season, I also noticed that, lo and behold, it was featured in the opening scene of the Halloween episode. In any case, the song is kind of awesome. I haven't

Ok so this song is not actually all that great. But, I really dig the intro and also you just have to love the title - "Down at McDonnellzzzzz". Have a little listen to or download the Electric Six's song over here.

Found another great song by The Headlights. Cutesy music. Listen here. The newest song, which is the one I'm talking about specifically, is "Cherry Tulips". But the other two songs available on betterpropaganda ("Put Us Back Together Right" and "Tokyo") are also worth checking out. I also already had a Headlights song in my music library - "Everybody Needs a Fence to Lean On". It's really great
