Peter Bjorn and John

If you're going to take my advice on one thing this week, it should be....
Peter Bjorn & John's new album: Living Thing (released 3/31/09)

Songs of the week:
The Republic Tigers- Buildings & Mountains

Sensual, Beautiful, Emotional... this song is my favorite off the bands album "Keep Color." 

Cut Copy- Far Away

"One thing that I just can't conceive
is how to let you go.
These days await if we believe
I'll make it to the show.

And you could say "br

ing your love to me,"
but I was far away.

And you could be handing love to me
but I was far away."

Peter Bjorn and John- Paris 2004

This is the cute "2 Days in Paris"-esque song you want to sing to your new and short term Parisian love. 

The Band of Horses- The Funeral

Extremely popular song used in the media- it captures the essence of a wake up call followed by a spontaneous trip to the airport to stop your true love from GETTING ON THAT PLANE! ha ha

Florence and the Machine- Postcards from Italy (Beirut Cover)

Why wouldn't I love any Beirut cover? sounds especially purty with girly vocals :)

Chairlift- Planet Health

"We're feeling great tonight."

A Hawk And A Hacksaw- Song for Joseph

In my cry for new Balkan influenced bands, I was introduced to A Hawk and A Hacksaw. Mostly instrumental with occasional vocals, shouts and cheers; the band has toured with The Olivia Tremor Control and Beirut. Give me accordions, give me violins and I'm HOOKED like a junkie on H. 

We Are Scientists- Ghouls

Perfect song to kick off the songs to follow on the album "Brain Thrust Mastery"

"It's impossible to know or so it seems

What I'm supposed to do with you on anything
I know that playing this time is going to fall on me
'Cause we all recognise that I'm the problem here"
