1."Off To The Races"- Lana Del Rey:

I'm beginning to think of Lana as a more sophisticated/indie Ke$ha. This is one of her newer songs and it has a kind of whiny Ke$ha quality but it doesn't bother me. In fact I rather like it.

2."My Valentine"- Paul McCartney & Eric Clapton:

What a duo. I'm so happy to hear them both still singing. I want to be their valentine. *Sigh* Unrequited love...

My Valentine - Paul McCartney by PaulMcCartney

3."Born to Lose"- Sleigh Bells:

More Sleigh Bells but less sugar coated than before. It's like the powerpuff girls kill the sugar spice and everything nice and turn up the angst a little.

4."Youth Knows No Pain"- Lykke Li:

Lykke's giving away her "Lost Sessions" on her blog. This is my favorite of the 3 songs. Her voice is ghostly and beautiful.

1."Gold On The Ceiling"- The Black Keys:

YES! New album, El Camino out on the 6th. This song is so good. So strong and such amazing guitar! This is definitely gonna be one you'll hear on the radio soon enough. You can stream this song and 4 other new ones below. My other favorite is "Little Black Submarines"

2."Best of Friends"- Hospitality:

Upbeat melody and groovy backbeat. I love it. It also has a super catchy chorus.

3."Darklands"- Feathers:

Feathers sounds like a group of croony birds. They're from Australia and this song is lovely.

4."I Really Need Love"- A Band Of Bees:

I love the rhythm of this song. it's so upbeat and a little twangy. It makes this cold winter weather just a little warmer.

5." Golden Hearts Silver Eyes"- Forest of Twin:

This song could be the topic of an english class. The lyrics are so pretty and I looove the title.
