The Blood Brothers - "Laser Life"

This isn't, by any means, a new video. I just genuinely enjoy it.

Song of the Day: The Gossip - "Dimestore Diamond"
This is for the ladies.

Beirut - "The Concubine"

Toy piano! I'm going to try and use the word "concubine" in my vocabulary this week, as I know many.

Song of the Day: T. Nile - "Cabin Song"

Woods - "To Clean"

I'm pretty sure this is what I dream about each night, except there are usually more bananas involved.

Song of the Day: Modest Mouse - "Autumn Beds"

Animal Collective - "Summertime Clothes"

I've been reading a lot of criticism about this video and of course, there's the "original" AC fans saying the band is too poppy now. Let's all just remember, it's just a band and this is just a video. Enjoy it for what it is and don't hate. This is still one of the greatest albums of 2009.

Song of the Day: Soulcrate - "Reflections (We All Have Hooks for Hands Remix)"

Coconut Records - "Microphone"

I wish Mr. Schwartzman would have incorporated the dog more. Other than that, this is a very lovely tune.


Song of the Day: Portugal. The Man - "People Say"
Adding punctuation in the middle of the band's name is a copywriter's nightmare.

Mof Def - "Quiet Dog (Bite Hard)" (live on Letterman)

Once you're done watching Mos on Letterman, please, be kind, rewind.


Song of the Day: Terry Lynn - "Jamaican Girls"
Here's a little ditty to get you spinning in your swivel chair on Thursday morning.

Phenomenal Handclap Band - "You'll Disappear"

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


Song of the Day: Dirty Projectors - "Stillness Is The Move"

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"

May Playlist for Song of the Day!

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"

Sondre Lerche - "Tragic Mirror"

Song of the Day: Pony Pony Run Run - "Hey You"

Ponytail - "Celebrate the Body Electric"

Song of the Day: Circulatory System - "Overjoyed"

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"

VV Brown - "Leave!"

It's a head in a box.

Kronos Quartet - "Tashweesh"

Sometimes, strings speak louder than words.

Patrick Wolf - "Hard Times"

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

Jon Hopkins - "Light Through The Veins"

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?
