John Denver - "Dreams and Reflections"
This song is like that person you know that’s really, really nice. They’re not particularly interesting in any way, but you have no reason to not like them. That person is this song. Also, this might be fun one to try out on the ol’ accoustic guitar. - via shufflin’ on the itunes
Shugo Tokumaru - "Parachute"
Heavily layered indie-pop from a Japanese dude. It’s pleasant, but it doesn’t really make me go nuts. You can listen on myspace here.
Crystal Castles - "Vanished"
Awesome dancey techno with a touch of euro trash, big ups to Aris for the find.
Echo And The Bunnymen - "The Killiing Moon"
Good retro, 80’s song that reminds me of when WHFS was cool, and The Weasel would play this stuff during lunch. - via y-rock on xpn
The Rapture - "Echoes"
Good, energetic rock that reminds me of Radio4. From their “House Of Jealous Lovers” album. - via yrock on xpn
Tokyo Police Club - "Tessellate"
Good upbeat indie via yrock-on-xpn
Mike Doughty - "Unsingable Name" Tab
After scouring the internet for hours trying the find the chords to this song, I decided to suck it up and figure it out on my own. Below you’ll find chords necessary to play “Unsingable Name” by Mike Doughty. My hope is that somebody else out there in cyberspace will find this useful.

To say I know anything about music theory would be a joke, so if the names I use...
Teki Latex and Lio - "Les Matins De Paris"
Cool French dance music with a very colorful video. This stuff makes me happy. Watch the video on youtube here.
Je Suis Animal - "Rousseau World"
Nice, mellow indie from Norway. Reminds me of Beulah, but with a chick singing. Listen to them here.
Young Knives
Another band to fulfill my severe addiction to British indie. You can listen to them on myspace here.
Hippiehaus - "Galaxy"
Nice, mellow, lounge music from the Hôtel Costes 5 compilation. File under afternoon love-making music. - via my itunes
The Octopus Project - "Upmann"
Good jam-out musik with a slight electro-flare. Reminds me a lot of Mice Parade. - via my itunes
Cornu - "Youpi (Kid Loco Space Spaghetti Mix)"
This song has made many an appearance on mixtapes I’ve made and I was reminded of its awesomeness today. It’s a remix of some group I’m not familiar with, but the remix was done by my hero Kid Loco. He’s influenced everything I’ve ever attempted in the electronic music department.
I couldn’t find a free way to listen to the song on the internets, but...
Tosca - "Suzuki"
Great chill downtempo from the side-project of one half of Krüder & Dorfmeister. You can listen to the song while staring at the album cover on youtube here. -via my itunes
