i am loving in no particular order:

mer du japon / air
no cars go / arcade fire
23 / blonde redhead
north american scum / lcd soundsystem
wet and rusting / menomena
dashboard / modest mouse
heimdalsgate like a promethean curse / of montreal
gronlandic edit / of montreal
the past is a grotesque animal / of montreal
she's a rejector / of montreal
i know / sally shapiro
my moon my man / feist

lots of others... yo

A few I've been enjoying lately:

Arcade Fire- "Intervention"
Blonde Redhead- "Publisher"
Besnard Lakes- "You Lied to Me"
The Broken West- "Shiftee"
Do Make Say Think- "The Universe!"
Grinderman- "Electric Alice"
Kings of Leon- "My Party" (kick-ass groove/guilty pleasure?)
Malcolm Middleton- "A Brighter Beat"
Panda Bear- "Ponytail" (gorgeous harmonies--makes me think of The Association for some reason)
Patrick Wolf- "The Stars"
Radical Face- "Wrapped In Piano Strings"

So far these songs have become my favorites. Each has it's own reason for being part of this list.

All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem (Amazing)
No Cars Go - The Arcade Fire (Outstanding)
Antichrist Television Blues - The Arcade Fire (Captivating)
Parting of the Sensory - Modest Mouse (Epic)
+81 - Deerhoof (Fun)
Turn On Me - The Shins (Lovable)
Sleeping Lessons - The Shins (Giddy)
The Birth and Death of the Day - Explosions in the Sky (Emotional)
Waiting For The 7.18 - Bloc Party (Noisy)
Time Won't Let Me Go - The Bravery (Catchy)

The Icicle's Gedge's Song is the most sickening, candy coated, sleepy-time-xylophone-twinkling, female-on-female harmonizing twee song I've heard.... well, since boy least likely to (except The Icicle's have the sexy girl-on-girl action). I mean, c'mon, it's a song about a cat that wants to be let outside to play and be wild but it's an indoor cat so it's stuck on the inside looking out.

But, just like Boy Least Likely To, I just can't get enough of it.

Gross.


Oh. And, The Field's "From Here We Go To Sublime" is probably my favorite electronica track of the year so far(the only track rivaling it would be almost any of Sex Change's tracks).

Blonde Redhead's Dr Strangeluv and 23 are still my favorite songs of this year (so far) though (I change my opinion so often though, it's impossible to know for sure)

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Who Do You Love?
Menomena - Rotten Hell
The Apples in Stereo - Energy

I actually enjoy the entire Menomena Cd but I think Rotten Hell is my current favorite. I'm thinking tomorrow's favorite will be Duel though.

of montreal -- the past is a grotesque animal
arcade fire -- my body is a cage
type o negative -- she burned me down
the good the bad & the queen -- kingdom of doom
rush -- far cry

Someone other than me actually purchased Dead Again!? Cool.

"the past is a grotesque animal" by of montreal is by far the most amazing song i have heard in years.

No apology necessary, gh. I forgot to delete the other thread once you found your way over here, so thanks for the reminder.

Now Playing: "Don't Come Back" Mary Weiss Dangerous Game

McFearles and On Call by Kings Of Leon are amazing.

Wasn't this song from the late 70's or early 80's?
