| Artist | Song | Album | Label | Comments | New | Request | Comp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goldfrapp | Number 1 Remix by Alan Braze & Fred Falke | Number 1 | mute | Some of the songs on Felt Mountain required as many as 40 musicians to play so they were like 'downsizing time' Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds weren't going to deal with that, apparently. | |||
| Siouxsie and the Banshees | Suburban Relapse | The Peel Sessions | Strange Fruit | Recorded live during John Peel's radio show on BBC and then played for ten years straight on Margaret Cho's turntable. | |||
| Spoon | I Summon You | Gimme Fiction | Merge | This album was 44 on the billboard charts and #1 on the billboard independent album charts in 2005. | |||
| Iron and Wine | The Devil Never Sleeps | The Shepherd's Dog | Sub Pop | "Beef Iron & Wine" is the name of a supplement he found in a general store. | * | ||
| Bockman | A Squirrel View | Das Kompilation | Painfully Midwestern | Little known fact: the word squirrel comes from the greek root sx- meaning shadow because squirrel's tails are so large that they stand in their own shadows. | C | ||
| Bonde do Role | Solta O Frango Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Remix | Marina Gasolina | Domino | International music scout Diplo found these guys on Myspace. Myspace. Have I just given every terrible garage band hope? | * | ||
| MGMT | Kids | Oracular Spectacular | Columbia | "We redid a lot of our songs that sounded too polished... Dave (producer David Fridmann) ended up running the tracks through this thing that crushed them and made them sound really gross again. They're a lot better now." - Ben Goldwasser in Rolling Stone. | * | ||
| Hot Chip | Ready for the Floor | Made in the Dark | EMI/Astralworks/DFA | This single released in January 2008 immediately went to #6 on the UK singles chart. | * | ||
| Radiohead | Bodysnatchers | In Rainbows | Self Released | So this guy called... | * | R | |
| The Elected | I'll Be Your Man | Sun, Sun, Sun | Sub Pop | During their shows these guys wear gas masks. Well, they're from Los Angeles. | |||
| Fujiya and Miyagi | Collarbone | Transparent Things | DD+BC | They are named after a character in the karate kid. Officially making them the second coolest band ever. Hot on the heels of the Chuck Norris Experiment. | |||
| The Elected | Waves | Me First | Sub Pop | They also use pedal controlled lights and voice distorting equipment. They sound a little tame for that, but wow. | |||
| Muscles | Hey Muscles I Love You | Guna Babes Lemonade | Modular | Australian electronica. That was really unexpected. | * | ||
| Black Mountain | Evil Ways | In the Future | Jagjuguwar | Black Mountain is the front line band for Black Mountain Army, a collective of musicians, artists and friends in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. | * | ||
| The Pinkz | USA | The Pinkz | Radio Beat | That's one garage I wouldn't mind jamming out in. | |||
| The Faint | the passives | Blank Wave Arcade | Saddle Creek | In 2005 the Faint announced they were going to leave their previous recording space and trade up. Ok, fine. But then I found out that their old recording space was an abandoned warehouse they called The Orifice. The enormity of the announcement is suddenly apparent. | |||
| The Foxymorons | Pistol By Your Side | Hesitation Eyes | Heart Stroke | These guys did a long distance collaboration. Clearly this is lucrative judging from these guys and the Postal Service. Someone call and give me more examples. | |||
| The Faint | Some Incriminating Photographs | Media | Saddle Creek | They're from Omaha! | |||
| The Decemberists | O Valencia | The Crane Wife | Capitol | This is when they signed with a major label and... it rhymes with bold kraut. | |||
| Bishop Allen | The News from your Bed | The Broken String | Dead Oceans | Jauntier than I've heard. To great effect. | * | ||
| The Decemberists | We Both Go Down Together | Picaresque | Kill Rock Stars | This song is lovely but it creeps me. She cried but her soul was willing? Come on, buddy. | |||
| Daft Punk | Da Funk | ALIVE | Virgin | In-cred-i-blay | * | ||
| The Chuck Norris Experiment | Not no, no way (pagans cover) | Volume! Voltage! | Off the Hip | The man is the greatest martial artist of his generation. He could do anything and he does walker texas ranger. |
