C-86 Is Killing My Life - Parenthetical Girls aka (((GRRRLS)))
I was inspired to seek out Parenthetical Girls on two occasions. One being the inclusion of a photo on Y.A.C.H.T's blog and the other being a review in Willamette Week who gave a gleaming review in spite of Zac Pennington's Mercury Affiliation.
What is C-86? Check it on wikipedia
Backyards of Our Neighbors - Au Revoir Simone
Discovered on a podcast/playlist on the Swish Blog. From New York, they top the Like in hot girl trios and the fact that they seem to like to hang out in libraries only makes them rock more. Oh and they are really good at interpreting ink blots as songs. This song is infectious. I became addicted to it on first listen-kinda like the line in the Subway's 'Oh Yeah'- "when I'm with you, it feels so easy". When listening to this it feels so easy.
Goodbye Girls - Broadcast
Michael, Michael, Michael-'Michael' needs to get out of my head so I will attempt to push it out of my head with another Broadcast song. Broadcast hail from the UK, sing it out on Warp, and need to extend their touring so I can see them, preferrable against a backdrop of graffiti. A former flatmate of mine in Glasgow was named Michael. To say we didn't get along would be an understatment, yet I would walk around the flat singing "Michael". I'm sure he thought I was extra out of my mind given any previous night before I would be screaming at him to turn his Bush-bashing country music down at 4am. Do you understand what a horrible combination that is regardless of whether you agree with the first and tolerate the latter? Especially at 4am!
Nathan/Brace Paine recommending 'Typing Pool' in the Metro as his Broadcast track of choice, but hey-let's diversify further and pick a track I have never listened to before.
Staring at the Sun - TV on the Radio
Discovered in the indie section of mtv.com in early 2004. This song/that site changed my life. While I don't browse it anymore, I discovered TVotR and Of Montreal on it among many other notables. This was the moment I truly became enraptured with indie.
Bon voyage: I love how so may of MTV's ads feature macbooks and much of their audience is young, hip, cool ie mac users, yet none of their online programming is compatable with macs.
La Ritournelle - Sebastien Tellier
La Ritournelle means the Old Story in French. This song could not be more romantic. After reading the interview Tom Vek did with 'Sup I really began questioning in what instances remixes have improved the song and in which point they were pointless. In regards to pointless, no remix will ever top Daft Punk's remix of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out'. My favorite remixes in which I like them so much more than the original is the remix of Moloko's 'Sing it Back' (track two on the "single"/ten song remix cd of the same song), Digitalism's remix of Mystery Jet's 'Can't Fool Me Dennis', and Metronomy's remix of this song. I love how this song has been remixed by just about everyone under the sun. In some distant world my goal is really just to release an album of just one song being remixed over and over.
Tracking this track down was as hard as I imagine a man hunt in an un-lit catacomb would be.

Jolly Jolly Jolly Ego - The Dirty Projectors
This track reminds me of the animated movie Fantasia crossed with Antony and the Johnsons.
Discovered on myspace after repeatedly seeing his name pop up. Included in this podcast courtesy of Song of the Day on Salon.com
Calm Down - Psapp
The track right before Grant's favorite on their disc. Haunting and inspiring. I want to write a book based on it. We'll see

On a Neck, On a Spit - Grizzly Bear
"You can't go home again
Each time it's different"
I keep searching and it's so true.
Naive - Lily Allen

Boy From School - Hot Chip
I totally didn't even like this at first. I think I must have been comatose-that's the only thing that could explain it. It was soooo hard getting through the video for it, but instantly upon it's end I had to listen again and listen again I did and then I fell in love with "We try, but we don't belong" that basically sums up my continued moves in search of finding my place-something I highly doubt I'll ever attain.
Among Dreams - Ariel Pink
This basically destroyed an accquinatncy I had with an certain Italian waited at Mono in Glasgow. After he described the music he liked it sounded like Ariel may be a good fit-dead wrong. He was so turned off by Ariel, but whatever-this man is a genius as far as I'm concerned and this track is so beautiful. I used to listen to it at Leigh's place every night. He wasn't crazy for that. So he'd get on his other computer and we'd just keep turning the volume up to drown each other out only he had two speakers, so he had an unfair advantage.
