Phenomenal Handclap Band - "You'll Disappear"


There are some pretty phenomenal handclaps in the background, if you listen closely.

Amadou and Mariam - "Masiteladi"


Amadou and Mariam are from Mali and interestingly enough the pair, known as "the blind couple from Mali" met at Mali's Institute for the Young Blind, and found they shared an affinity for music.


Song of the Day: J. Tillman - "Earthly Bodies"

Chairlift - "Bruises"


Chairlift finds life after the iPod commercial. I think Caroline Polachek could have settled for just one television screen, because there are screenless children in Africa.


Song of the Day: Yacht - "Psychic City"

MGMT - "Kids"


I'm glad I didn't go through what this kid did while I was a child. It's hard to believe I've had Oracular Spectacular for a year-and-a-half and this is still one of my favorite tunes from the album.


Song of the Day: Reed KD - "Winding Roads"

Dan Wilson - "Against Time"


Semisonic's "Feeling Strangely Fine" is still one of my favorite albums.


Song of the Day: Tobias Froberg - "What A Day"

Frightened Rabbit - "Swim Until You Can't See Land"



The concept sounds a little dangerous, but I'm always up for a new FR song.


Song of the Day: Good Old War - "Coney Island"

Sometimes, strings speak louder than words.

Patrick Wolf - "Hard Times"



Every Wednesday could use a little eccentricity. Especially when it's neon eccentricity.

Bright Eyes - "Bowl of Oranges"




Memorial Day throw-back. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. Doesn't this video just make you want to have arts and crafts time?
