Elbow

This song is way old, and Elbow has been around for ages, but until I heard this song in a movie recently, I'd never heard of them. This song is stellar, despite the redonc name.

Snooks (Progress Report)

Young Knives

According to the Young Knives, "This is not the finished version and it may not even make it onto the album but we thought you would like to hear it."  Whatever, because it's good and is totally stuck in my head right now.


I Love My Name (demo)

Scanners

I've been way disappointed in Gossip Girl tunes lately, but they pulled through with this song.  Dark, brooding, and hot.  Just like GG.

Salvation

Funeral Party

Every week, NME's website has a list of 10 tracks to listen to that week.  Sometimes they've got amazing songs.  Other times, not so much potato chip worthy.  This recent one completely fits the bill though.

NYC Moves The Sound Of LA

The Tallest Man On Earth

Google tallest man on earth and you tend to get pictures of this dude. But thanks to his latest album, which is by far the best I've heard all year, Kristian Matsson is getting bigger by the minute. Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing, not just this song.

Tell ’Em

Surfer Blood

I'm back! I have a huge list of songs to post, and not much to say about any of them, except that they are good tunes. So here goes.
