"Whose Authority" by Nada Surf

Yay! A new Nada Surf vid! These guys have come a long way since “Popular” and will continue the journey when their new album Lucky drops on February 5th.

“See These Bones” was a great first taste of the new disc, but this song just goes the extra mile. It’s catchy as hell! Hopefully these boys […]

"The Rat" by Dead Confederate

I’m gonna pull a total music blogger move here and just gush over this band. They’re a bit southern rock, a bit early 90’s, and a whole lot of awesome. This song is AMAZING. From what I hear, they’re playing SXSW and mark my words… they will come away as one of the best […]

"Lucio Starts Fires" by Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong

The Brits are on fire right now. And this band is helping to fan the flame. First off, they’re adorable. Second, they sound like a 60’s British Strokes… a little bit. They just released a new single called “Lonely Buoy” but I’m loving this previous track a little more. Here are videos for both:
“Lucio Starts […]

"Foundations" by Kate Nash

This CD has been on permanent rotation in my car, so I hear it every morning when I drive to work and every evening when I drive home (I lead a crazy life, let me tell you). Kate is proving herself as a force to be reckoned with among the Brit popstresses. She’s everywhere right […]

"Coffee Shop" by Landon Pigg

I hated this guy’s debut album. It was completely blah to me. But now he’s released a new single and it’s a big improvement. Sure he’s still your run of the mill singer-songwriter, but this song has some heart. You may recognize the song from the DeBeers commercial that aired over Christmas. Hopefully this is […]

"American Boy" by Estelle

There’s been a little bit of buzz surrounding this girl and it’s starting to elevate to something a little more real. Her first big single has surfaced featuring Kanye (makes sense since shes signed to John Legend’s label). I had no idea she was British. And that makes me instantly like her more […]

"Animals Wearing Clothes" by The Deadly Syndrome

I first talked about these guys back in June. So it’s a good thing that they’re still on my radar in January. They played at The Viper Room tonight along with a little band called The Morning Benders. The place was packed thanks to a free guest list offer from both bands and an […]

"Silverscreen" by Jesca Hoop

I’ve been hearing murmurings about this girl all over town for a while now. It wasn’t til my ears perked up this morning to her song on KCRW that I started to pay attention. At that time I heard a little Fiona Apple in her voice. Now listening back, I hear straight up Bjork. […]

"Love Song" by Sara Bareilles

Speak of the devil, I thought I should post this video since I requested it back in July. Yay for Sara having the #2 song on iTunes! I wish her continued success in 2008
Such an adorable video…

This song still makes me instantly happy

"Anyone Else But You" by The Moldy Peaches

So I’ve seen Juno twice now. Like many others, I am obviously obsessed. Such a quirky cute story with a real un-stereotypical lead. Ellen Page kills it. The movie would not be the same without her. And I want to marry Michael Cera.
Kimya Dawson kills it on the soundtrack side contributing 6 solo songs, […]
