7/21
The Good Old Days
by The Lodger
Somewhat similar to Vampire Weekend's "Cape Cod Qwassa Qwassa", but way edgier.
Lush Life
by Bowery Electric
Beautiful electronica here that's a bit more dreamy and sullen than the average song.
7/14
Midway Souvenirs
by White Light Riot
With summertime memories of walks amid the carnival lights, WLR only delights with their prize here.
7/7
Cymbal Rush
(The Field remix)
by Thom Yorke
A long and well executed remix by The Field from one of rock's most expansive artists.
6/30
Hang Them All
by Tapes 'n Tapes
Hanging by an odd rhythm and a wily attitude, Tapes 'n Tapes delivers.
Rebels in the Roses
by Everest
Their acoustic backdrop with their meandering lyrics could be better than a massage.
6/23
Beautiful Beat
by Nada Surf
Drive to the shore, the lake or just your favorite destination and let Nada Surf be your guide.
6/16
Fools
by The Dodos
This isn't even the best song on the album yet it still serves as a shot of adrenaline to any tepid playlist.
Teach Me How To Fight
by Junior Boys
Songs like these are good stepping stones for TJB if you've never listend to them before.
6/9
Elevator Love Letter
by Stars
A jovial tune basking in the lighter side of contemplation. Male / Female vocals work well together here.
6/2
Paper Float
by Cassettes Won't Listen
A mesmerizing experience awaits as "we drift alone on the souls of a tiny float".
One Part Lullaby
by The Folk Implosion
Wonderful, schematic plotting on revamping all that could possibly be Folk, but is really not.
5/26
Mother Mary
by The Foxboro Hot Tubs
The beat heard a thousand times didn't get drown by The Foxboro Hot Tubs.
5/19
5/12
5/5
The Day You Fell Apart
by The New Frontiers
Just hearing this song puts a breath of fresh air in the lungs.
4/28
4/21
Said So What
by The French Kicks
The 'Kicks' lo-fi approach only adds to the character this song displays.
4/14
Dawn of the Dead
by Does It Offend You Yeah?
It's got that poppy and overachieving melody that sticks for days.
4/7
Buildings & Mountains
by The Republic Tigers
Acoustic guitar, vocal harmonizing and an easy rhythm are all part of what wraps this song together so nicely.
3/31
Right Hand On My Heart
by The Whigs
Some good 'ol guitar strumming and a a catchy drum opening seal the deal.
3/24
Imaginary Girl
by Silver Seas
This is the upsotwdated male version of Mister Sandman from the Chordettes. Plus, it is better.
3/17
If You Fail We All Fail
by Fields
What makes these guys great is everything - drums, dual vocals and synths.
3/10
Never Had to Pay Before
by The Bell
The Bell is a darklike mixture like that of Depeche Mode and hard-driven modern rock style.
3/3
2/25
And She Would Darken The Memory
by The Twilight Sad
These guys are more emphatically tasteful in their words than sad as their name may imply.
2/18
2/11
2/4
Time To Pretend
by MGMT
More unconventional than the norm, this electro rock vibe is more than just palatable.
Bryn
by Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend's chippery sound sails smoothly in the whole album, but especially here.
1/28
I Wanna Love You
by The Maine
This just goes to show how quickly rap music is recycled. Nevertheless, this is a party starter.
1/21
Take A Walk Around The Table
by White Rabbits
White Rabbits gives some swagger with this tamborine shuffle.
1/14
I Need A Friend
by Small Sins
With fake techno beats like Scissor Sister and pleading lyrics like the Killers, there shouldn't be any doubts why this is catchy.
1/7
Little Lover's So Polite
(Grayarea remix)
by Silversun Pickups
This is one of the best remixes of 2007 from one of the best bands of 2006.
