It's Memorial Day Weekend once again, and as everyone is heading down to the shore, a lake or just over to a friend's house or hanging out with your family, we're sure you're looking for some musical zest to add to this holiday. Keep in mind all of those who have fought for our country to be where we are today.
The list below is quite diverse, not sticking to any one theme. We have some harder rock with Ashes Divide and some classic Queens of the Stone Age. There's indie rock with Grizzly Bear and Spoon and some electronica with a Postal Service remix, Air France and The Crystal Method. We also have some groups we're just plain excited about like Phoenix, Cut Off Your Hands, Say Hi, Harlem Shakes. Enjoy our list and enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

Spoon's Don't You Evah EP was released this week. It has a nice array of completely different versions of one song to the next. None sound the same, which is a nice change from most remix EPs I've heard. Spoon even snagged Diplo on this EP, so make sure you check it out.
You can download all 8 tracks for a mere $3.99 on iTunes. This includes a new song "All I Got Is Me", which sounds fitting for their Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga album, which we voted best album of 2007.
Below is a demo version of the much beloved "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb". They call it their country version and I can't think of anything that better describes it since it is pretty doggone folksy.
(Give it a second to play, the song kicks in about 10 seconds into it)
MP3: Spoon - Cherry Bomb (Country Version)
