New songs of interest:
Breathe Me~Sia: This song took a couple of times listened to before it hit me, but now I think it is fragile and gorgeous. The lady who sings it is clearly under the radar and eccentric (she's married to a 19 year old alpaca farmer, I once read)but everything, down to the intimate instrumental solo, is dead-on.
I Think You'd Look Good on the Dance Floor~Arctic Monkeys: bratty brit boys with an energetic sound and poppy lyrics ("Stop making the eyes at me/
I’ll stop making the eyes at you")
Cash Machine~Hard Fi:Once again, bratty brit boys, but with a moodier sound. Still definitely singable; I like it even better than the Arctic Monkeys song!
Heart in a Cage~the Strokes: OK, I think part of the reason I love this song is because in the video, the lead singer Julian Casablancas lies in the middle of a dirty dank New York city street and expressively gestures his lyrics as his uber-thin hipster band rocks around him...I know the Strokes have been around forever, but I still love their new album AND this song.
In the Walls~Stellastarr: I love "My Coco" and "Sweet Troubled Soul;" this one is good too- his voice just sounds like the 80s. And I like that *shrugs*
I'm on a quest for new music, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know. And if anyone wants one of these songs, I don't know how to link them here cause I am computer illiterate, but I can send them over AIM or what have you!
