This week, I've given up a little bit of control and allowed someone else to pick this week's songs. Her name's Shannon and you can follow her on Twitter HERE. We'd love to know what you think of our little newsletter, so let us know how we're doing HERE. If you'd like to take a stab at recommending some songs, or know of a band that we've heinously overlooked, let us know. enjoy
La Roux Bulletproof and In For The Kill The Quicksand EP is out now and the self titled album (top left) will be released on June 30. Shannon likes Bulletproof. I like In For The Kill (Scream Mix, not the original). We'll let you decide.There's a video for each HERE. ©2009 Polydor Ltd. (UK) Buy \| Bulletproof Amazon In For The Kill Amazon
Santigold Shove It Why not let my 4 year old daughter pick one too. Here's hers. ©2008 Downtown Music, LLC BUY Amazon
Phoenix (Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix) Lisztomania Not a lot to say that hasn't already been said about Phoenix. The album is great. One specific thing I like about this song is the unique use of timing when he sings, "oh, It's showitme, it's show time, it's show time". It takes a few listens to figure out when he's gonna come in. I love when artists play with timing. ©2008 Ghettoblaster S.A.R.L BUY Amazon
Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson (Break Up) Relator Try and forget that it's Scarlett Johansson and take it for what it is, a cute little ditty. ©2009 Boyletown Music, Inc. BUY Amazon
Isobel and November (The Ghostwater Gospel) Bones Long Forgotton This Swedish band isn't signed yet, so I couldn't find anywhere to buy the song. the reason I picked it was because It reminds me of my childhood. No, I didn't grow up in Sweden. ©2009 Isobel and November
