king creosote & jon hopkins

found them thanks to my brother dave and i LOVE LOVE LOVE them.
it's really slow and deliberate music - just building up and out.

another by gotye

making mirrors.
OBSESSED with this album. seriously, every song just slays me.



you can listen to the whole thing on soundcloud!

WHO & WHO?!?! james blake and bon iver!!!!!!

kimbra

she's crazy cool.

another by the joy formidable

i hadn't heard this one before, but thanks to nicole i've gotten obsessed with it

the pixies

if you're like me, the pixies were a classic band you've heard about forever but never took the time to get to know, then one day BLAM you realized they're awesome.

if you're not like me, you've always known they were awesome. and good for you.

Midnight City by M83

**read all the little comments from the soundcloud folks!

toxic cover

i do so love britney spears covers...

soft

this is my first exposure to this group. i really like the piano.

the morning benders

the new stuff is pretty great. this is a "b-side" song and one of my favorites

Carla Morrison - Pajarito del Amor

i have a special place in my heart for simple guitar + spanish vocals
(just FYI julieta vanegas is another fav)

Hanna

I didn't see the movie... but I've heard talk about the greatness of the soundtrack, especially this song by the chemical brothers:

Cee-Roo "A Day In The Life" (with John Lennon)

cool.

okkervil river

have i never posted anything by them? i can't remember...
(they are awesome - go check out more)

model worker OR little drago

interested in some new electronic-y music?

try this out:


 

OR this:

the joy formidable

this is a cool band.
and i love this song. it's fast enough to be sorta dance-y but still controlled sounding.

what would you dance to at your wedding?

what's your style? i think it should be something with a little quirkiness...older, maybe corny -- but not sappy. so what do you think?

doris troy?


neil young?





and do you slow dance (above) or try for something a little snappier?

maxine nightingale?



a friend of mine danced with her dad to billy joel (it made me cry)


and of course, there's this classic wedding song.....

satellite heart

so the original is very pretty. i like it a lot:


but this remix is stellar! very well done and well... just plain cool:

lykke li

i love her and i haven't posted anything by her yet.

Hutterite Mile

spooky isn't it? i always imagine it on the soundtrack of a gritty western - just preceding a climatic showdown...

mt eden dubstep

who'd have thought any dubstep would end up on here, eh?
but this one is done RIGHT.
SO RIGHT.

sea wolf

heard this song in a cafe in south tahoe - my sister recognized it and told me it was sea wolf!

grimes

eerie loops, percussion, and falsetto. how could you ask for more?



thanks L.F.

WU LYF

this rings of my musical tastes early/mid 2000s. so of course, i love it.



thanks L.F.

the golden filter

this is another group i've never heard of before now -- i really love this song tho, so i'm planning on doing a little more sampling ASAP. i like the mix of light and heavy electronic sounds a lot!

Son Lux

top youtube comment for this song: Every time this song is about to drop, I have to start it over. The anticipation is a drug.


(it's true. it'll build beautifully and then hit you around 1:12)

BLAM.
