Radio8bit

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.

Everyone's Morning Jacket

"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 Morning Jacket a while back and bitched about how they weren't over on betterPropaganda, well I guess now they are. Good.

Republic Tigers Dance

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".

A Dream

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.

Millennium Mambo

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 electronic soundtrack and especially the beginning and end sequences stand out on account of the music. Obviously, considering that we're talking about a rather obscure Chinese movie here, the music isn't widely available. I did finally manage to find that song from the film's intro. If you'd like a listen to trippy electronica song called "A Pure Person", click here.

Tyler James

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 kind of stuff, so it's pretty similar to a lot of my other recommendations in the past. Tell me if you think it sucks (or kicks butt, whichever).

Mates of State

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.
