Hey Sydney, I’ll Be There

Sydney (I’ll Come Running) by Brett Dennen (download here) (Buy from Amazon) A great bouncy song by Brett.  It’s no wonder that he’s signed to Jack Johnson’s label because hearing this song is similar to how I felt when i first heard Brushfire Fairytales album.  So good.

Bag of Hammers

Bag of Hammers by Thao with the Get Down Stay Down (download here) (Buy from Amazon) This is by far my favorite song of the past month. Something about it is just so addicting. It gets stuck in your head. Try it.

Sister

Sister by Vetiver (download here) (Buy from Amazon) These guys are super chill but catchy. Their music has been described as ‘surreal’, ‘lullingly pleasant’, ‘tender and accessible’ and ‘quirky and warm’. I think that’s about right. I posted more their tunes a few months ago (Another Reason and Roll On and More of This)

American Edit’s Broken Song

Boulevard of Broken Songs by Dean Gray (download here) American Edit is a mashup album by Party Ben and team9 based on Green Day’s American Idiot. This is one of my favorite tracks and the Oasis mix in it is totally awesome. It’s all pretty slick stuff, great to run to.

Sonny Liston’s Blues

Sonny Liston’s Blues by Chuck Prophet (download here) (Buy from Amazon) Some good old school rock. Chuck Prophet has been around for a long time and his songs are all over the place, especially movies and tv (True Blood, The L Word, Sons of Anarchy, PS I Love You, etc.) so this might sound familiar.

Not Everyone Who Gets Paid Makes A Lot of Money

Janine by Birdmonster (download here) This is another one of my favorite tracks of 2007 and is just a good classic rock song (with a touch of indie rock, if that makes sense). It was one of their first 3 songs on their initial EP. These guys are one of the bands that rejected traditional [...]

Smooth Solitude

Solitude by Girls (download here) This is a new 2009 album that made many users top 10 lists. This song isn’t actually on their latest album but rather a B-Side to a single. Regardless, it’s a great mellow song

Push The Button

Galvanize The Empire by Party Ben a mashup between Star Wars theme and Chemical Brothers (download here) One of the better mashups i’ve ever heard. The Star Wars theme is so sweet and to add it to Chemical Bros makes it pretty potent. If this doesn’t pump you up, i don’t know what will. “Red [...]
