Father John Misty - "Do You Realize??"

Real Estate - "Green River"

Stepdad - "Must Land Running"

We Are Scientists - "Impatience"

Jim James - "A New Life"

Van Stee - "When the Hammer Comes"

Heard these guys on a podcast. The song is about the singer losing his dad in a car crash. They're from Minneapolis.

Postal Service - "Tattered Line of String" (this means new album!)

Andrew Bird - "Beyond the valley of the three white horses"

I invited Lauber and Wroble to the blog - just saw them in Omaha. Couldn't resist!

Ducktails - "Under Cover"

Amazing.

Hot Chip - "I Feel Better"

There is a vast chasm between what I assumed the lead singer of Hot Chip looked like and the way he actually looks.
