How fabulous is this Anna Ternheim song? It’s like a seduction scene in an Egyptian cabaret between an international spy and a deadly femme fatale. MP3: Anna Ternheim – What Have I Done “What Have I Done” is off Leaving On A Mayday, available now at Amazon[ READ MORE ]
A bit somber mood today, so it’s a perfect time for this haunting and overcast song from The Wooden Sky. If art is finding beauty in pain, sometimes life is finding clarity in sorrow. MP3: The Wooden Sky – Something Hiding For Us In The Night [via] “Something Hiding For Us In The Night” is [ READ MORE ]
For a long time today I thought there wasn’t going to be a Song of the Moment as I hadn’t heard anything I felt was worth sharing. Then rescue came from a most unlikely source. I say unlikely because I streamed Amanda Blank‘s I Love You album and wasn’t particularly impressed. This remix by DJ [ READ MORE ]

Was needing a mid-week pick me up, and thanks to Said The Gramophone, I now have it. The new BOAT track is like a group of Saturday detentionees cavorting about high school hallways, eluding a roving principal, and learning that “being bad feels pretty good, huh?” MP3: BOAT – Name Tossers Name Tossers is off [ READ MORE ]
Just a general wrap up of things I will and will not be talking about this week. What I Will Be Talking About 1. This cool Band of Skulls rehearsal footage Sean posted. I’m fascinated by it. Why? For one thing, the camera work is better on this than 90% of the videos I’ve seen [ READ MORE ]
GorillavsBear has a new Oh No track up today and, in posting it, very kindly reminded me about “Heavy” off Dr. No’s Oxperiment back in 2007. The riff, the vocals, the movie theme feel – is there any way this track doesn’t work? Fabulous. MP3: Oh No – Heavy You can buy Dr. No’s Oxperiment [ READ MORE ]
Feeling pretty mellow today, so it’s fitting this Or, The Whale track rolled in my path with a slide guitar gentle enough to ease you back into a peaceful sleep this Monday morning. Don’t worry about being late for work – that’s what your co-workers are on time for, right? MP3: Or, The Whale – [ READ MORE ]
How wonderful it is to have El Perro del Mar back! Listening to her is like living inside one of those Hollywood movie montages where the sun always shines, everyone is beautiful, and life is forever grand. MP3: El Perro del Mar – Change of Heart “Change of Heart” will appear on El Perro del [ READ MORE ]
Yesterday I came across this Liam Frost song courtesy of Ceci and haven’t been able to stop listening to it since. I love the uptempo beat and Wainwright’s “and when I’m good, I’m only good at sinning” line. Reminds me of the beginnings of a good noir plot going down in a typical suburban 70′s [ READ MORE ]
