1."Oblivion"-Grimes:

This song is quirky. It has high pitched vocals and a funky synth. It's pretty unique as well. It brings something else to the musical table.

2."Friends of Friends"- The Beets:

Oh what a clever band name. This song packs a wicked indie rock punch. It's bold and strong.

Download here (also via Stereogum)

3." While We're Young"- Inspired And The Sleep:

There are a lot of different sounds going on in this song but my favorite thing in the entire song is the guitar riff. It's subtle but it's there.. for most of the song. Listen closely, you'll hear it.

4."Before The Desert Night Was Cold"- In A Wild Deep:

Soft and folky with lovely lovely lyrics and vocals.

5."Flutterby"- Starlight Girls:

This song is jazzy which is adventurous for me but It's cool. I like the beat and also the vocals. There's soul.

1."Make Your Move"- Florida Room:

Gah. Speechless. This song is fantastic. Indie/ alternative. Mellow and upbeat. It's wonderful. You must listen to it.

2."Newlands"- Justice:

Think back to D.A.N.C.E. if you know the song. You can kind of tell it's the same band but it sounds fresher. I love it.

3."Entrance Song (Rain Dance Version)"-The Black Angels:

So unfortunately I could only find a direct download link to the original version of this song but if you get a moment look at the "Rain Dance Version". The Black Angels have a new EP out and that's on it. The EP is called Phosgene Nightmare.

Download Original version here

4." Over-Mind"- Cosmic Sound Child:

Hmm anyone else automatically think 60s after seeing the title? If so you are in quite good company I'm sure. And to add to that thought Cosmic Sound Child is considered "psychedelic rock". See what you think.

5."Bird Song"- Uncle Lady:

Yes the bird song does have the sound of actual birds in it. It's folky and has beautiful vocals. Not to mention it's off of an EP called Pamplemousse which is one of the best french words ever meaning grapefruit.

1." Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But..."- Arctic Monkeys:

Yes. This is an old song and yes many many people know and love this song but today I'm posting it because I'm missing a chance to go backstage tonight and see the Arctic Monkeys play. I'm quite bummed about it so I'm honoring them by posting this song.

Download here

2." I Don't Believe In Love"- We Are Trees:

This song seems to have a little 90s rock left in it. It has that heavy guitar riff that makes up an alternative rock song. It also has great vocals.

3."How It Rains Here"- Three Fields:

This is such a soothing song. It's instrumental (which I don't normally go for) but if I ever go massages this would be something I wouldn't mind hearing in the background.

Download here

4." Trouble"- Lotus Feed:

I love pretty much everything about this. The name, the artist name, the vocals and the music. Some of the guitar riffs sound like Nirvana.

5."Passion Seekers"- Little Tybee:

Wanna get away? Listen to this song. It sounds kind of islandy with beautiful melodic vocals. A good remedy for the cool fall weather.

1."Honeypie"- Peachy Keene:

Okay this was one of those on a whim things and I now really really like this song. Peachy Keene is fantastic. Check out the whole EP.

2."Pisces Lullabye (demo"-Honey White:

I won't always do this, but this song is in honor of my very awesome friend, Kira who in fact is a serious Pisces. (Yeah I'm one of those people. The one that believes in the zodiac thing not to mention the fact that I'm a Scorpio which is fantastic but hey that's a whole 'nother story for a different song ). Kira, you'll like this listen and I'm pretty sure everyone else will too.

3."Little Things"- The Peach Kings:

I've posted The Peach Kings before but I've been way into listening to their EP Trip Wop lately and this is one of my favorite songs from it. It came out in August I believe.

Download the whole Trip Wop EP here

4." Gotten"-LOS GAUCHOS:

Okay now this is cool. Given my fascination with different nationalities this is awesome. It's Argentine indie. It's in English but it's soft, mellow and beautiful. I believe the album cover is an early picture of Slash. I like it.

5."Sweet Lucy"-Harlan Pepper:

Okay how perfect is this? And added bonus it's a good song. It's indie/folk with a wee bit of twang. I love it!

1."Lotus Flower (Jacques Greene Rmx)"- Radiohead:

Something about Thom Yorke's voice. It's like magic and this remix is extremely good. I have the original version but I actually like this version better.

It's the Itunes Indie spotlight this week! download it there

2." Dirty Blood"- Artful Vandelays:

This band is from Toronto and they are a quite a  talented alternative indie band. The guitar riffs are great. They sound like a grungier Weezer and slightly more indie.

3."Love U More (RAC Mix)"- Sunday Girl:

This girl has a lovely voice and in my opinion the remix and the real version don't sound all that different.  This song is the closest it can be to pop without being pop.

4."Stay Gold"- The Big Pink:

Yes! New music from The Big Pink! For those of you that know and like the song by them "Dominos" you will be happy campers. This song is close behind "Dominos" on my list. I don't know if I'm the only one but I start to think about Ponyboy and the Outsiders.

5." Whose Side Are You On Anyway"- Absofacto:

This song has a great chorus and great vocals. I also felt like I'd heard of Absofacto before this point but now I'm glad I've actually heard them! Yay! (and if you have already I'm sorry I'm not providing you with anything new)

1."October"- Nomandic Firs:

Oh how perfect. October in October. Doesn't get a whole lot better than that. Oh but wait it does because this is a good song. It's a (sadly) short acoustic little tune.

2."Day and Night"- From The Hollow:

Rock indie with great drums and lyrics. Another cool album cover too! Feast your ears.

3."Gather On The Threshold"- Dead Boy Robotics:

One of my favorite bands from Scotland. They are adding to my awesome new music list of October because they have a single out on Halloween then a new album in November! I can't wait.

4."Eyelids"- Anymen:

A pretty Harmony along with an equally pretty melody and nice guitar.

5."Glass Harmonica"- Arms:

A bouncy and upbeat new track. Sure to keep you in a good mood.

1." Whiskey"- The Glass Eye:

This song has classic rock kind of female vocals. It's the first time in a while I've heard new music sound like music of this generation. You'll have to listen to see if you agree.

Glass Eye - Whiskey by ObscureSound

2."Hello Sadness"-Los Campesinos!:

high energy alternative music. The lyrics in this song are really cool. If you listen to them carefully this song will probably engage your imagination.

Listen here

3." Broken Dreams"- Glitter Freeze:

I particularly like the name of this group. I'm not sure why it just sounds really cool. I also really like the drums in this song.

Download here (right click and save as mp3)

4." Moon"- We Drew The Map:

The guitar in this song is magical. You might think it's instrumental but be patient there's just a 1:21 min intro.

5."Oh Dear! Oh Dear!"- Dear Darling:

Don't you just love interjections? Here's a high energy song for you with a pretty album cover.
