Yo La Tengo's "We're An American Band," a fine track from perhaps their best album. It slays the song of the same name by that 70's rock group, whose name escapes me at the moment.

Seriously?

Would you believe, "American Pie"?

Haha, this is a beautiful song with such great melody.

Found a vinyl copy of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, and listening to "Down by the River", my favourite NY song period. It sounds effing great on this.

That reminds me of the "Being Poor Has Never Felt So Good" thread. I miss that thread.

Right now I'm listening to Cadence Weapon on myspace. I'd not heard of him before last night, when a friend dragged me to a show just down the round. Cadence was the only stand out act. I definitely enjoyed his performance, and will probably try to get hold of some kind of record by him soon.

That song is part of my childhood, my dad always played when i was kid.

I'm listening to to Surf City Eastern Block, sad but summery.

I've been listening to Ratatat's 'Classics' album...
No vocals, just music to dance to when the need strikes. And listening to this album does make the need strike often....

I've also recently been obsessing over Stars' 'In our bedroom after the war' album after going to their show at Seattle's Showbox at the Market the day after my anniversary....

My auditory needs are fickle....

If you know of Ratatat, try some Kenna... but he has more of a hip-hop feel and lyrics to boot...

He was at Live Earth, he was pretty cool.

You Don't Have to Let Go- Jessica Simpson

Yes she's an airhead, and no I don't believe she had much to do with writing this song even though she has songwriting credit, but it's a beautiful song in which she actually uses that amazing voice of hers.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Jim Fear

I'm never going to understand what went wrong with DEP after Irony Is a Dead Scene. How can a band descend into self parody after 2 EPs and an LP? Sighhh...

Dungen's "Tio Bitar"

I like everything about Dungen.  The drums make me happy.  I wish I knew Swedish, but it really doesn't matter.

Jay Chou - 牛仔很忙 (pretty much "A Cowboy's Very Busy," I think)


Perhaps the only Chinese country/western tune in existence. (I speak preemptively, though.)

If there was any possible way for me to share this, I would.

I like that song!

A friend of mine got mad at another friend of mine for saying that song had a country sound.  Denial.

The "Casiotone for the Painfully Alone" album Twinkle Echo. As terrible as this one mans band's name is, Owen Ashworth creates really pretty/sad electro pop songs with pretty great lyrics. He also puts on a cool live show. This is a darn good album.

Of Montreal - "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal"

Seriously, Of Montreal should make more long songs like this one. A lot more. It's awesome.

Holy shit. For some reason I've always been of the opinion that Of Montreal weren't 'my thing' and just kinda ignored them, for years. I got the latest one from the Sendspace thread on a whim, just finished listening to this song and it's epic. Absolutely blinding.

Strangely, I've had a very similar experience lately. I never thought I liked Of Montreal even though I never really listened to them. I got most of their albums from a friend of mine and, just a few minutes in, I was kicking myself for not listening to them sooner. Truly great stuff. They're definitely one of the more interesting and better "indie-pop/rock" bands that have found popularity in the genre.
On topic: I'm listening to a mix of Mountain Goats, Mount Eerie, Iron and Wine, Songs: Ohia and a few others. At the moment the rather irritating song "Dance Music" by The Mountain Goats is on.
