PJ Harvey: Good Fortune

4834 days ago

A throwback classic for today. It's impossible to not like this song. YouTube more info

I have to admit, I had never heard of Kimbra until I posted this Gotye video last week. I liked her voice (it was a great idea to pair her with Gotye), Googled her name, and found a treasure chest of her singles on YouTube. In the past week she's b... more info

Gotye: Somebody That I Used To Know

4847 days ago

I heard this song from Aussie/Belgian singer Gotye this morning and I instantly liked it. It has a very unique, playful beat. The song almost sounds simple, but the lyrics are so well written and anybody who has ever had their heart broken will inst... more info

4873 days ago

Josh Rouse is quite possibly my all-time favorite performer and I'm more than excited to see he has a new album debuting soon. The first single is titled, "Oh Look What the Sun Did" and in my opinion it's an instant hit blending old-school Josh Rous... more info

4898 days ago

This song is my first introduction to Ed Sheeran, an up and coming English singer/songwriter. You could say there's a little Jason Mraz in his style (I'd personally disagree), but I think Sheeran has more genuine talent. Any any rate, the video is c... more info

The Drums: Money

The Drums made it to my personal "Best of 2010" list. Their new single "Money" picks up where their last album left off with a very catchy melody and that Smiths-like vibe. Absolutely love the new single. YouTube more info

Bombay Bicycle Club: Shuffle

4923 days ago

I'm not a hardcore Bombay Bicycle Club fan, but in the past there have been quite a few catchy tunes of theirs I've liked (Magnet and Always Like This come to mind). Their latest single, Shuffle, falls into that too-catchy-to-resist category. As... more info

Maverick Sabre: Let Me Go

4931 days ago

I heard this song on XFM today and instantly added it to my "must buy" list. (Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be out in the U.S. yet.) Regardless, what an awesome tune! The video leaves a bit to be desired (it seems very cliche to me), but t... more info

Friendly Fires: Hawaiian Air

4933 days ago

I'm shocked it's taken me this long to write about Friendly Fires. Along with Miles Kane and Plan B, they're one of my most listened to bands of this year (and last year for that matter). I haven't had the chance to check out their new album Pal... more info

Kasabian: Switchblade Smiles

4938 days ago

I'm a huge Kasabian fan. Along with Muse, they're one of my favorite, no-nonsense Brit rock bands. One of their new singles, Switchblade Smiles, has a heavy Prodigy influence (another favorite band of mine). I don't love this single as much as... more info
