I feel like I haven't posted meaningfully for aaaages, so why start now? I did, however, upload another 7 song playlist of songs I've been listening madly to, so please have that in lieu of actual fannish content (that isn't all wailing and gnashing of teeth).
sun in the leaves
a mix for summer
Audience // Cold War Kids
Stompy songs with piano stabs are fun.
You need a record you can move to
Well we got one
Drop the needle
We are playing for an audience of one
This Too Shall Pass (live) // OK Go
This is the video version; the video is *definitely* worth a look (as always).

Vodpod.
OK Go had a stoush with their record company about the embedding of the video from their official YouTube channel, and then had some
intelligent words to say about the ways of the music industry.
Heart It Races // Dr Dog
This is summer in a song. Plus, hand claps!
When We First Met // hellogoodbye
Less frenetic than before, but still all shimmery.
In the Sun // She & Him
I am one of those grouches who didn't really like the first She & Him album. But this song is so light and sweet and lovely that I know I'm going to have to eat crow.
Good Morning // Rouge Wave
Supposedly they set out to make an indie dance pop record this time. Thumbs up on the basis on this song alone - it makes me want to dance around the room every time I hear it.
Moth's Wings // Passion Pit (m4a)
I don't love the album as a whole, but there are individual tracks that I can listen to over and over.
And you left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor
