DOM - Living In America

I can't find much on this band but I dig the sound. Again, a lot like Passion Pit and MGMT. Awesome song, really catchy. Check it out.

The Naked And Famous


Great new song from The Naked And Famous. Sounds a lot like Passion Pit/MGMT/The Knife. Link below

The Naked And Famous - Young Blood

Faded Paper Figures


VERY Postal Service-ish. Good song, though. Video wouldn't fit, check out the link.

Faded Paper Figures - Metropolis

Rain Machine - Give Blood

This comes from TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone. Not sure why he went solo for this track, sounds just like TVOTR. It's a little different, but give it a couple listens before dismissing it.

Ladyhawke - Paris is Burning

Its an older song from 2008, but definitely worth listening to.

Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk

 
Got this from a friend. The band's called Two Door Cinema Club. I like the sound but the dudes voice sounds like the Death Cab for Cutie guy. Anywho, it's pretty catchy and the video reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Link below.

Friendly Fires


If you haven't heard of them, you need to immediately. The English dance punk band had great success with their 2008 self titled album and are set to release some new tracks. Check out Skeleton Boy, Jump In The Pool, and Paris.

Below is their new track from the blog PMA, "Stay Here." Enjoy.

Friendly Fires - Stay Here

Canada

Canada apparently knows music. Arcade Fire, Tokyo Police Club, Of Montreal, MSTRKRFT, and now Chromeo.

Chromeo is an electrofunk duo with a heavy 80's sound. The songs been getting a lot of air time due to their surprise success at Bonnaroo this year.

Well done Canada...although I still won't forgive you for Nickelback.

Miike Snow - Cult Logic

Miike Snow - Cult Logic. Never been a huge fan of Miike Snow, but they've got a couple good jams. Heavy syth in this one.

The Pass

The Pass hails from Louisville, KY and has a Phoenix-like sound. Especially the second song, Crosswalk Stereo, the beginning is almost identical to 1901. You get Phoenix without the dirty french sellout feel!






faux you eyes.

Great article. Sufjan Stevens explains today's state of music. I couldn't agree more...

Music needs to be precious again

Stuff White People Like

Probably the only reason I created this...from stuffwhitepeoplelike.com

"If you mention a band you like and the other person has heard of them, you lose. They own you. It is essential that you like the most obscure music possible."


Urban Outfitters Music Mondays

Every Monday, UO offers 5 free tracks. Some are good, some suck, but fuck they're free. Great site for music, apparently this is better cause I had the Yeasayer video before they did.

This week, The Drums, Mahjongg, Electric Sunset, Lovers, and Bishop Morocco. Here's the link...

Music Mondays

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Great song by LCD, real catchy.



LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Yeasayer - Madder Red

Yeasayer's Madder Red. Kinda awesome video.

Delorean - Real Love


Off their new album Subiza. Its a new music genre called blisscore. A little electronic, a little trancy, but altogether a lot good.

Delorean - Real Love

(500) Days of Weezy


Mashup of Weezy and (500) Days of Summer Soundtrack? 
Mashup of Weezy and (500) Days of Summer Soundtrack.

The entire album is available for free at this site. Check out Lollipop Dreams, Sweet Stunt Positions and Vagapop. 

Foals - Spanish Sahara


Starts out slow, picks up at the end and lasts 6:54 minutes. And no, that's not what she said.

Foals - Spanish Sahara

Major Lazer + La Roux


The song was featured on a recent episode of Entourage.

A creation of DJ's Diplo and Switch, ML is a fictional Jamaican cartoon character, who lost his arm in a zombie war in 1984. He fights zombies, monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered hoverboard. So he's pretty much an awesome Marty McFly. Link below.


Major Lazer & La Roux -In 4 The Kill

The Jump Off

I created this to share music instead of posting every song 20 times on the book to different friends.
