The Bird and The Bee - "Heard It On The Radio"



From their newest album, A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates. I love the 70s feel it has ;] I haven't listened to the rest of the album yet (two more minutes until it's done downloading) but judging from this, it's not going to be bad or as dull as their last one was overall. But we'll see. Can't judge an album by it's single ;]

Noah and the Whale - "The Shape of My Heart"

Jenny and Johnny




OMFG
I've been hoping and praying that Jenny would give me something more. Zooey Deschanel was starting to take her place and I am just so happy to see her finally putting some cards down and try to win me over again.

The album cover has already won points in my book for being quite possibly the cutest album cover ever made? Jenny Lewis' LEGS
painted
in
red
paint
and those cute shoes
and skirt
and Johnny's butt
and their names
together
Jenny

Lady Gaga - "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)"





I met someone cute and funny
Got each other and that's money eh
Eh-eh

I had something that I love long long
But my friend's keepa' tellin' me that something's wrong
Then I met someone
And eh! There's nothing else I can say

Opus Orange - "Nothing But Time"



They sound almost identical to The Drums, so naturally I am head over heels in love with this band right now. Not that anyone actually reads this thing, but if you do and you like the music I've been posting, this is definitely worth checking out. Basically it's all my favorite songs collected by Indie Rock Cafe.

I fucking love The Drums but what douches

"U2 to The Drums is one of the most boring bands of all time. Self-righteous and self-important.
"I don't like it when bands mix politics with music. It's a little tiring, everything. Bands don't need to save the world. They just need to write good pop songs." - Johnny

I don't like U2 either, but is that really the kind of stuff you want to say in an interview? I just don't think it's very classy.

anyways, here's their cover (which is of course wonderful):

We Were Promised Jetpacks - "Quiet Little Voices"



As if Scotland didn't have enough bands that make me want to go there, just to see what exactly surrounded these minds. I'm weird. Anyways, they're from Edinburgh. Naturally they've played with Frightened Rabbit ;]

Someone asked me if they got their name from something the Beatles said, but I don't see that anywhere online. I'd like to know.

I'm downloading their newest EP, The Last Place You'll Look, maybe if it's good a song will show up on here :P

Frightened Rabbit - "Swim Until You Can't See Land"

“Are you a man or are you a bag of sand?”


Frightened Rabbit is in my top 3 favorite bands of all time, somewhere with Rilo Kiley and The Mountain Goats. Anyways, this is from their latest album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks. I love songs about solitude. I love Scottish accents. I love Frightened Rabbit.

"With those expectations in mind, singer-guitarist and primary songwriter Scott Hutchison retreated to the Scottish coastal town of Crail to write Frightened Rabbit’s excellent new album, The Winter Of Mixed Drinks. Removed from distractions both existential (his and his band’s place in the world) and mundane (online movie trailers), Hutchison wrote the songs that would become the new album—and wrote them differently. Where Organ Fightdeconstructed a failing relationship, Mixed Drinks finds Hutchison stepping away from what he succinctly calls “songs about girls.” Instead, the album is mostly concerned with songs about self, but not in an overly indulgent way. It’s more about discovering what you’re made of—or, as Hutchison sings in “Swim Until You Can’t See Land,” “Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?” Just before the band's appearance at SXSW (including a headlining set at The A.V. Club's free day show, March Into Softness), he spoke to The A.V. Club."

Big D And The Kids Table - "Bender"


Sometimes I branch out musically and sometimes I want to drink for days at a time, this post is the result.

Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band: Conor Oberst finally doing something right.

Conor Oberst is growing up so much right before our very eyes! After hearing him, Jenny Lewis, Ben Gibbard and M. Ward cover "Handle Me With Care," I just knew he was meant to do something so much better than Bright Eyes.

Anyways, if you liked Rabbit Fur Coat or Bob Dylan, you'll like this. Conor's voice annoys me in Bright Eyes, but not here. He was meant to sing like this. I'm just waiting for Ben Gibbard to hop on the folky Dylan-esque bandwagon (and that is not sarcasm).

fun. - "Walking The Dog" and "At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be)"



Nate Ruess from The Format's sideproject, SOOOOOOO much better than The Format. The whole album is 9/10 imo, the only problems are a few filler songs and Nate's voice just reminds me so much of The Format, which isn't such a good thing because The Format is boring. They were good when I was 14 and just getting into "indie" music. This is the complete opposite, in fact, it's fun! See what I did there?

Girls - “Lust For Life”



At the risk of being too pitchfork-esque, I'm going to post this song. Any song that makes me feel like I'm at the beach with clapping in the background is objectively awesome blossom.
