The Lonely Forest - Turn Off This Song and Go Outside

I love the title and lyrics to this song.

We Are Knights - Tears

I don't know why, but this song is perfect for the dreary weather going on outside my office window right now.

South - A Place In Displacement

Maaaaaan I am just the worst. Once again I went back to my alma mater and once again I wasn't able to get to a computer to keep this updated. Well I guess that means that you get three songs today.

The Sunday Drivers - Do It

The only problem I have with this song is that it isn't nearly long enough.

The Record Summer - An Enormous Anger Grows in Brooklyn

This is probably one of those "guilty pleasure" songs for me, but who knows maybe you might like it too.

The Vulgar Boatmen - Drive Somewhere

This song makes me want to do exactly what the title says. Put it on and start driving.

Zox - Little More Time

This is the song most people think of when they think about Zox, but I really encourage you to check out their full albums. Specifically the songs "Line in the Sand" and "Carolyn".

Lovedrug - Happy Apple Poison

This one takes a while to get going, but the chorus around 1:17 makes this one a song worthy of listening to over, and over, and over, and over again.

MUTEMATH - Spotlight

After you pick your face up off the floor from listening to this song, go check out "Typical" for one of the coolest videos of all time. And then listen to their whole first album because its mind blowing.

Modest Mouse - Missed the Boat

Sorry folks, I bet you thought I had just abandoned you. In reality I went back to Iowa State for a 3 day partying binge and was too hung over to get on a computer. Anyway, that means I'll throw up three songs today to make it up to you. This one is an old Modest Mouse one, and if you haven't listened to any of their older stuff (before "Float On"), you really should because its amazing.

The Strokes - Under Cover of Darkness

About two months or so I realize how kick ass The Strokes are and I can't stop listening to them.

Wild Club - Thunder Clatter

The Silver Seas - Catch Yer Own Train

I just recently decided to give listening to the entire album a try, and I was not disappointed. Both their albums on spotify are great, so do yourself a favor and give them a listen.

Miami Horror - Sometimes

Sam Roberts - Brother Down

Athlete - Wires

Satellite Stories - Kids Aren't Safe in the Metro

Its friday, more your damn feet.

Wildlife Control - Analog or Digital

I think these guys are on to something here. Check out their EP "Spin".

Update: They took down their "People Change" video so I had to change this to "Analog or Digital". Both great songs though.

The Shoes - Time To Dance

The actual music video to this song is really weird. Its 8 minutes long, the first like 2 minutes isn't even this band (its some weird freaky song) and then the rest of it is Jake Gyllenhaal murdering people.

Great song though!

Yukon Blonde - Ghosts on Film

I haven't had a chance to check out any other songs by this group, but I really like this one. The chorus is amazing.

Maximo Park - Books from Boxes

Camera Obscura - French Navy

The chorus on this song is just infectious.

The Weeks - Buttons

Tall Ships - T=0

Tall Ships might have one of the best EP's I have ever heard in my life. This song is actually from their most recent album, although on spotify it only has three songs so I'm not sure what to call it. The EP is called There Is Nothing But Chemistry Here, and like I said, it is unbelievably good. My two favorites are probably "Books" and "Words are Pegs Upon Which We Hang Ideas", but they are all kick ass tracks.

Said the Whale - Emerald Lake, AB

Also check out "Camilo (The Magician)" if you like this one.

Of Monsters and Men - Mountain Sound

I know I already put a song by Of Monsters and Men on here, but their full length album just came out and I can't stop listening to it. This is my new favorite.

Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Myer, Chris Thile - Atta Boy

Steel Train - Touch Me Bad

I love this band's name, it sounds like they should be a metal or punk band. Also check out "Bullet" for a more melodic and poppy song.

Obadiah Parker - Hey Ya

This is one of the greatest cover songs of all time.
