“My Pet Goat” - Benevento/Russo Duo
I may go see these guys tomorrow at the venue where this video was recorded. That drummer can *play*.

Mayer Hawthorne - Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out
He is also known as DJ Haircut (which is hilarious), but he is a writer/producer/signer/instrumentalist….basically, he does everything. You would never guess that this is an original song written by a 30 year old…..and in the year 2008. He also is signed to Stones Throw (PB Wolf’s label) which is typically awesome hip hop and/or DJ projects (re: Madlib and the late and great J Dilla)

Tamba Zimba Navashe - Hallelujah Chicken Run Band
I like how the chorus rolls over this one like a wave, with the background singers reverbing the lead singer.

Ayla Nereo - The Times
A real crunchy folk groove for all you granola-munching, tree-hugging hippies. Listen to this song, and then get a real job for chrissakes.

P.O.S - Never Better
I love the stripped down beat on this one.

Why? - Eskimo Snow
Yoni Wolf is the front man of Why?, and this is the title track from his new album. It’s way more folky than much of his previous work, but I dig it. I went to his concert a month ago and left within 15 minutes to go to a bar near by to drink heavily and be quizzed on state capitals. I got very close to ZERO capitals correct, and then ridiculed a guy in a rabbit hat and called him a retard. It was a good show.

Kings of Convenience ft. Feist - The Build Up
Im a sucker for good female vocalist, as is pretty well documented. Just wait til about 2 minutes in, you impatient cocks.

“Ball and Biscuit (Live)” - The White Stripes
It’s quite possible that I’m your third man girl, but it’s a fact that I’m the seventh son.

“Ecstasy of Gold” - Yo-Yo Ma
If you haven’t seen The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, drop what you’re doing and go see it Right Now. Then watch the rest of Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy.
If you have, just put the speakers on blast, sit back, and enjoy.

“For Emma, For Ever Ago (a capella)” - Bon Iver
Just dudes singing a good song. I like it much better live than I do on the album.
