Thao (with the Get Down Stay Down): Know Better Learn Faster

I am a bit late with this 2009 release, but it's still worth posting.
I have loved this band ever since I unintentionally saw them at the hi-dive after their first album release. Last year I saw a combined show with Thao & Mirah at Mississippi studios which was amazing.

MSTRKRFT: Heartbreaker (ft. John Legend) EP

I love this song.

Kid Cudi: Man On The Moon-The End Of The Day (Extended Version)

I heart this album.
I can't stop listening to this song with Gaga sampling.

The Drums: The Drums

summer
sounds

y la bamba: Alida St.

I can't stop listening to this Portland band since I saw them perform.
Listen here.

Lily Allen: It's Not Me, It's You

I know a lot of people can't stand her and say what you will,

but this video is amazing.
I love how she just calls a guy out.

Dragonette: Fixin To Thrill

I have been dancing to this record non-stop since it was released.
Your turn!
Go...

Jenny Wilson: Love And Youth

How sweet the Swede...
Watch this brilliantly tedious and beautiful video, much like the videography reminiscent of old Sesame Street clips. I love stop-motion.

Oren Lavie: The Opposite Side Of The Sea

This song is beautiful and you'll see that the video is very worthwhile.
(Her Morning Elegance)
Oren was born in Tel Aviv and spent his youth in Israel.
He has also spent time in London, NY, & Berlin.

Seabear: The Ghost That Carried Us Away

I love this album!
Listen to I Sing I Swim.

au revoir simone: verses of comfort, assurance & salvation

I can't get this PERFECT summer song out of my head.
You have to listen to Through the Backyards!!

Phoenix: It's Never Been Like That (2006)

This is a French band who backs the band Air and have affiliation with Daft Punk.

I like the songs: Consolation Prizes & Long Distance Call.

Revolver: Revoler EP

Thanks Jonathan!
I had heard Get Around Town playing in Nordstroms and I wanted very badly to know who had sung it. It is such a great song.

Janelle Monáe: The Chase Suite

Monáe makes me think of a female Andre 3,000 who she has worked with before but she is super unique as well.

She wants to be a female jockey and has been inspired by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov whom my husband loves.

Here is her site
Check out the Many Moons video. One thing I love that I don't think everyone will notice, is the old skool Sesame Street tune she uses in Many Moons!

Asobi Seksu: Hush

Asobi Seksu meaing: Playful Sex

I love their other albums and they seem to have taken a different direction with this one, still keeping some of the key elements.

You will most certainly love it if you are a Cocteau Twins fan like myself.

Here is their site.
