1."Paddling Out"- Miike Snow:

I can always count on Miike Snow for my upbeat, up-tempo music needs, There's essence of the "Miike Snow" album in this song but there are some new sounds too.

2."07.45 (Bring Me Back Home)- We Are Standard:

As confused as I am about the title of this song I greatly enjoy it. It's the kind of song that I can see being in a movie someday. It reminds me of summer, which cannot come fast enough this year.

3."Shallow"- Beach Fossils:

Perfect for my "ready for spring" feeling. Beach Fossils remind me of summer. This song has that summery Beach Fossils sound.

4." Love Interruption"- Jack White:

Believe it or not, out of all the projects Jack White has had his brilliant mind in this is his first solo project. It's pretty different from everything else he's done. More acoustic and less Icky Thump. See what you think.

5."Florida"- Princeton:

Another band that makes me think of summer about a place where I am in the summer. It has a really nice little melody.

1."Simple Song"- The Shins:

I can imagine there's a new album in the mix from The Shins. This is certainly the first I've heard from them in a while. Strangely upbeat for The Shins; I'm assuming it's part of a new direction but there's still traces of the older stuff.

2."Please Be My Third Eye"- La Sera:

A little indie pop with a rock rhythm.  It's always nice to find a nice female vocalist too.

Here ya go. snag this one via Stereogum

3." Another Bed"- The Twilight Sad:

Okay so this is like the british invasion 80s type music but it isn't because it's Scottish. The Scottish accent certainly makes the already dreamy song much dreamier.

4." I'm Gonna Try (Demo)"- Shimmering Stars:

Okay this is like the beach boys on indie steroids. You can hear a total 50s style beat in this song but it has a unique and modern kind of twist. I like it. Watch out for these guys.

5."Not Too Late"- The New Assembly:

It starts of sounding like a club song and then ends up sounding more like a pop song but it still has that chill ambient sound. Also great softish male vocals.

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.

Download here

5."Crystal"- Globalamp:
This song is wistful and dreamy. It also has a beautiful album cover.

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.

Download here

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.

November News

Hello friends,

This month has been absolutely one of the slowest months for music so far hence my spotty/close to no posts at all this month. I have only found remixes and some pop music... If anyone has any new music suggestions I would love to hear them. Until then hang in there and I'll post something awesome soon. 

Thank you!

Lucy

1."Mona Lisa"- Atlas Sound:

Atlas Sound is having a good year! Here's another good song from them!

Atlas Sound, Mona Lisa by Danceyrselfcleaner

2."Run Right Back"- The Black Keys:

Yes! A new single from The Black Keys I guess at this point the singles will just come out gradually until the album. They also have masterfully made it so you can hear their music and want it really badly but you can only listen online until you  buy the whole dang album.. unless you know where to look.....

Download The Black Keys Run Right Back

3."I Wanted To Tell Her (Ministry Cover)"- Holy Ghost!:

This is an awesome cover; it is so unbelievably 80s and my love of the 80s is no secret. It has keyboards, swoosh sounds and all. It's a trip.

4." Young Dreams"- Young Dreams:

This song is so full of energy. Part of it almost sounds like Greek music. It's a very cool song.

Young Dreams by NYLONmag

5."I Don't Care For That"- The Dead Heads:

A cool psych/grunge song from an Aussie band. You can get their first EP for free below. This just happens to be my favorite song from it.
