This song sounds really 80s. Pretty voice and a good party kind of beat.

Class Actress - Weekend by Pretty Much Amazing

4." Cleaning My Gun"- Chris Cornell:

Yea It's that guy that does everything. Audio Slave, Soundgarden, James Bond theme songs and solo stuff. This song is one of his newest. The lyrics are sad.

2."Petal In A Rainstorm"- Ryan Adams:

Mandy Moore you are so lucky. Your husband is constantly pumping out works of brilliance like monthly. This song is now my favorite Ryan Adams of the moment. I love the lyrics.

Don't let the picture fool you though. It's sadly not on Ashes and Fire.

3."Dark Eyes"- Crystal Stilts:

The name of this song intrigued me. I know. I'm shallow that way but I like the song. These guys are set to release a new EP on 11/15.

Download here via Stereogum

4."When I Was Young"- Nada Surf:

I almost forgot about Nada Surf but they were one of the many bands responsible for my original interest in Indie music. I remember when I first heard "See These Bones". So happy Nada Surf is back with more. This song does not disappoint!.

Download here

5." Somebody That I Used To Know"- Gotye:

Some how I would describe this song as whimsical. I love it. The vocals are so so so pretty.

Download here

And I just have to be really cheesy and say that finding all of this good music on my birthday counts as one really awesome present.

1." Don't Move"- Phantogram:

I feel like it's been forever since anything has come out from Phantogram but finally here's another good one.

Download here via Popstache

2."Different People"- Friends Crossing:

Pretty guitar melody and riffs. The vocals have a variety of cool sounds too. Lots of texture.

3."Long Distance Love"- Let It Bleed:

This was actually funny. I clicked this song and then started doing something else and my mind kind of drifted but when it drifted back I realized how much I was liking this song. One thing that irks me is when there are songs that you can "Share" but not buy or download. Sadly this is one of those.

4."Be True (Original Mix)"- Russian Adults:

It's Saturday night and it's a party night and I'm in a party mood so here's some party music. Good beats and a good mixing job.

Download here

5." Fall Sky"- Silver Wren:

As you might be able to tell this song is a perfect song for October. It sounds like that perfect October night where it's breezy and the moon is huge.

1."Scottish Winds"- Frightened Rabbit:

Such charming accents in this song. It's certainly not the only good part of this song but it enhances it. If you shut your eyes and listen to this song, then picture everything in the song it's pretty cool. So vivid.

Frightened Rabbit is giving away their EP for free on their website click here to get it.  It's on the side.

2." Spectrum"-Florence+ The Machine:

A new song from her upcoming album Ceremonials (should be out in November). This song is fast paced and really showcases Flo's voice.

Download here

3."Nuclear Seasons"- Charli XCX:

This song is kind of pop/indie. It has great vocals and a cool clap beat.

Download here

4."Paradise Circus"- Massive Attack x Burial:

This is another track from a special 12" that these two groups did together. It's already sold out. It sold out almost immediately after the announcement. This song (Like "Four Walls") is also 12 minutes long.

5."Don't Be Surprised"- Twerps:

This group is from Australia and they deliver melodic guitar and really good lyrics. The vocals have a famillar sounding voice but I can't really put my finger on who they sound like.

1." Flagstaff"- Atlas Sound:

I feel like I keep posting new Atlas Sound. I think it's because their new album is out soon and they keep slloowwllyyy releasing new singles from it. Here's another good one.

Download here via Stereogum

2." Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me (UNKLE Remix)"- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds:

Not to double up on the Stereogum highlights here but this song is a mix of two of my favorite musical talents. It's such a cool remix and I have loved everything that I've heard from Noel's new stuff so far.

Listen here via Stereogum

3." Antique Love"- Built Like Alaska:

A really pretty melody and pretty vocals. It reminds me a bit of Death Cab.

Download here (click on link and save as mp3)

4." Pharaoh"- Western Haunts:

Really cool unique sounding electronic indie. This song is really neat. It has a whole new electronic sound and a really pretty album cover to boot.

5."Cat and Mouse"- Sacred Animals vs Owensie:

This song is awesome. It has a Massive Attack kind of sound to it and the vocals and lyrics are great too. This was one of those great music searching surprises.

1."Weight Of The World (Under Construction Mix)"- The Explorers Club:

This song has that 50s harmony sound to it. The remix adds a nice touch.

2."Mexico"- Satellite Stories:

I liked this song with in two seconds of hearing it. It has a jump up and jump beat and amazing vocals too. This song is so much fun.

Download here (right click link and save as mp3)

3."90s Kids"- Oh No! Yoko:

This song is also so fun and it's one I can relate to. The beat is fantastic.

Download here (sorry the share link isn't working)

4." Before I Go Away"- Kites With Lights:

Really cool shoegaze- kind of electronic music. The intro drags on a bit but wait to hear the vocals it's worth it.

5."Adios Noviembre"-Hey Chica!:

Sorry I don't have the accent for Adios but this song is crazy. It starts out sounding like your typical American indie song and then boop it goes into Spanish. (I mean given the title it would have kind have been expected) Hey Chica! is from Guadalajara, check them out!

1."Moon Killer"- Small Black:

This song is so cool. It's dreamy AND high energy and there's something about the vocals that blow me away.

Download here (Via Stereogum)

2." Hurts Like Heaven"- Coldplay:

New off of the album Mylo Xyloto. Coldplay goes a little more electronic than their old stuff. I can't say I like it as much as the old Coldplay but it's still good.

Download here

3." A Love That Kills"- Psychic Dancehall:

This song is almost trippy with a deep voice (deep as in the way it sounds but i suppose the lyrics are deep as well)

A Love That Kills by NYLONmag

4."Sunburn"- Jago Thorne:

Here's a voice to shake hearts. It's full of emotion and is pretty darn sexy. This is a group to look out for and look out for a new album from Jago Thorne sometime this month!

5."Black Saturday"- Girls Names:

A new one from Girls Names. It's cheery with a nice progressive guitar riff. The lyrics have the sort of dreamy fading feeling.
