Rock/etc
| Artist | Song | Album | Label | Comments | New |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lightspeed Champion | Everyone I know is listening to Crunk | Falling off the lavender bridge | Domino | Fantastic song. Great album. The harmonies and trumpet in this song are reminiscent of a ska 1940s comeback type deal. | * |
| Bishop Allen | Rain | The Broken String | Dead Oceans | Straight outta Beantown. But not southie. | * |
| Exploding Star Orchestra | Part 2 | We are all from somewhere else. | Thrill Jockey | Billed as jazz. Billed as a 14 man orchestra. I'm billing them as rock awesome. | * |
| Daft Punk | Da Funk | Alive | Virgin | Live. I can't imagine how incredible a live show would be. Probably like a giant dance party with bizarre attendees. | * |
| Daft Punk | Live | Live | Virgin | Ok, so same song but ten years ago. It's only gotten better over time. And by gotten better i mean hasnt changed. | |
| Radiohead | Bodysnatchers | In Rainbows | Self Released | Yorke told Time, "I like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one. And, yes, it probably would give us some perverse pleasure to say 'FU' to this decaying business model. | * |
| MGMT | 4th Dimensional Transition | Oracular Spectacular | Columbia | Prefix Magazine said the album "sounds like a college-dorm experiment gone horribly right." | * |
| Sally Shapiro | Find My Soul | Disco Romance | Paper Bag | She says of her persona: "What if I did a show in Italy, where there's no-one I know. If I just went onto the stage, did my thing and left without having any further contact if I didn't want to. Then I'd still be able to keep myself outside of it and just regard it as Sally's thing." | * |
| Bonde do Role | Marina Gasolina Radio Edit | Marina Gasolina | Domino | So she's actually saying Marina Gasolina amphetamines, Marina Gasolina caparina sugary everclear basically, Marina Gasolina feterina some girl's name? Thanks to my sister's broken portoguese. | * |
| The Blow | The is There, I Am Here | Bonus Album | K | From portland. The first band ever from portland. | |
| Camille Yarbrough | All Hid | The Iron Pot Cooker | Vanguard | Spoken word artist. With music. Bringing the good stuff. | |
| Neutral Milk Hotel | Song Against Sex | Avery Island | Merge | 'So why should I lay here naked when it's just too far away from anything you could call loving and love worth living for so I'll sleep out in the gutter you can sleep here on the floor." | |
| Clap Your Hands Say Yeah | Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth | Self Titled | Self Released | Rolling Stone described them as the "Hot New Band" for 2005. | |
| Neutral Milk Hotel | Holland, 1945 | In the Aeroplane over the Sea | Merge | Jeff Mangum read Anne Frank | |
| Beirut | Cliquot | The Flying Cup Club | Ba Da Bing | Cliquot. Like the Champagne. Delish. | * |
| Beirut | Elephant Gun | Lon Gisland | Ba Da Bing | Condon plays the ukulele due to a wrist injury that prevented his hand from reaching fully around the neck of a guitar. | |
| Beirut | Postcards from Italy | Gulag Orkestar | Ba Da Bing | Comparison made to Sufjan. Validity of claims unconfirmed. | |
| Neko Case | HEX | Neko Case | Epitaph | Neko went to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1994 to attend the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. | |
| Neko Case | Star Witness | Fox confessor brings the flood | Sadies Music | My mother and I have an ongoing fued about the actual meaning of these lyrics. My mother maintains that she is a ghost who witnesses a car crash and I maintain that she's Beth Orton. | |
| Neko Case | #7 | Blacklisted | Bloodshot | "I never want to play an arena, and I never want to be on the MTV Video Music Awards, much less make a video with me in it." | |
| The Clash | The Right Profile | London Calling | Epic | It's the clash. I played the clash. | |
| The Casual Dots | I'll Dry My Tears | The Casual Dots | Kill Rock Stars | Kathi Wilcox from the Frumpies and Bikini Kill. | |
| The Flaming Lips | Do You Realize | Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell | Warner Bros. | I love that commercial with the little kid waving. |
