“I Will Possess Your Heart” by Death Cab For Cutie

An 8 minute song scares even me. Those monstrosities are usually art experiments that I just don’t get. Or they’re boring. This song is neither. It’s really really good… making fans out of tried and true Death Cab haters from what I’ve seen! With a nice bass line, this song makes a great first single […]

“Damaged” by Danity Kane

I’m somewhat embarassed to admit that I like this song…

Anyone else wanna join the club? We can share in the shame.

“Mercy” by Duffy

I mean, I gotta help out my new best friend
The Duffster has just come out with a new US version of her video for “Mercy”. I think this song has much more smash potential than “Rockferry”, so I’m glad they went with this as the single.
US Version:

“Like Knives” by The Fashion

I think my fondness for this band is unhealthy. Ok, not really… but I absolutely LOVE them. Luckily their album drops on iTunes April 22nd. Woo-hoo! “Solo Impala” originally reeled me in, but I’m starting an affair with this track today.

“The Sweetest Tooth” by Camphor

This band is still in the beginning stages of growing a fanbase from what I can tell (215 friends on MySpace, aaawww), but it shouldn’t take long. This song floats along so beautifully, there’s a nice melody, and the singer tends to sound like Beck on his Sea Change album. Sometimes you just need […]

Two cool things…

1. The NME Awards are coming to America! The Grammys must be shaking in their boots. Go here and you can vote and read all about it…
2. This is a 6 word review of ALL of the tracks posted on the SXSW website by official artists. So funny and so informative. Check it out!

“Royal Flush” by Big Boi feat. Andre 3000 and Raekwon

I loooooove Andre 3000. Weird for me, I know. But he’s insanely talented. I had heard that he was taking film classes at USC while I was there, so I always kept an eye out. Never saw him though, sadly. So naturally, I love all things Outkast. Of course I’m gonna bring you this track […]

“Little Bit” by Lykke Li

I’ve gotta end this post SXSW week with the one who got away. And judging from these videos, I missed a very good show
“Little Bit”

“I’m Good, I’m Gone (Acoustic)” (Look at who is singing with her! She’s friends with Robyn??? Of course […]

“Braindead” by The Vines

F*ck. Yeah. I love this band and always will. I went to their show at the Troubadour last night not knowing what to expect. The last time I saw these guys live was at the Wiltern and it was craaaaaazy. Craig could barely sing, he was rolling around on the ground, and he threw his […]

“Mr. Pitiful” by Matt Costa

I didn’t think I was a Matt Costa fan. I thought he was a Jack Johnson rip off. And not in the good way (like a certain artist posted yesterday). But then I found out this song I had been bopping along to on Indie was by Mr. Matt! Craziness I say! That makes me […]
