"Inoculate The Innocuous" by The Unicorns




This song has one of the coolest intros I have ever heard.

"She's Got Me Dancing" by Tommy Sparks




Heard this song on an iPod touch commercial yesterday and was intrigued.  After listening to the whole song, I can't tell if it's stupid or awesome.  I'm currently leaning towards awesome.  You be the judge.  Either way, the video is kick ass.

"Carol Brown (Choir Of Ex-Girlfriends)" by Flight Of The Conchords




I've always said that Flight of the Conchords was a very talented band. I love the stuff they do, but I've always thought that under the silly lyrics, they write amazing songs with great melodies.

That being said, I think "Carol Brown" is just a good song. Forget the fact that it is a comedy song, written by a self-proclaimed folk-parody duo, it could still stand alone as a song by another non-humor based song. I recommend you give this one a listen as though it wasn't intended to be funny. I think you'll be surprised by the inherent quality of the song.

Until tomorrow... Tsom Kal!

"You Are The Blood" by Sufjan Stevens




Sufjan's take on the Castanets' song.  Don't know which version I like better, but they both warrant a post I think.  The Sufjan version definitely has its own life though.  Hope you enjoy.

"You Are The Blood" by Castanets





There's something hauntingly beautiful about this song if you give it a really good listen.  Don't write it off after the first go round, give it a few spins, then make up your mind.

"Beast Of Burden" by The Rolling Stones




This song has been floating around in my head since Jess and Emily played it at the lake on Labor Day.  Now it will be stuck in yours.

"Spit On A Stranger" by Pavement




Just found out today that Pavement is doing a reunion tour next year.  I will be very upset if I do not get to see at some point.
