Bands: Liars
Album: They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top
Released: October 30, 2001
Home Town: Brookyln, NY
Why is it on here?: Nowadays, Liars would be called experimental rock or art rock or just plain weird really. This song from their first album, has more of a dance-punk sound....still weird though.

Head First - Goldfrapp
Band: Goldfrapp
Album: Head First
Released: March 22, 2009
Home Town: London, UK
Why is it on here?: This song is awesome. Goldfrapp must have hopped in a Delorean, gotten up to 88mph and hopped back to 1985 to record this one. Seriously, this could have been the title track to an 80s movie that was never made. I can just picture Cory Haim now (RIP) riding through town on a motorcycle as the credits roll while this song is playing.

Apple Pie Bed - Lawrence Arabia
Band: Lawrence Arabia
Album: Chant Darling
Released: 2009
Home Town: New Zealand
Why is it on here?: Heard this jam a few times in the past couple days, I've been humming it the whole time....and also craving apple pie....and a nap. This obviously isn't the real video, they do have a real video for it but its appropriateness is questionable.

You Wont Know - Brand New
Band: Brand New
Album: The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me
Released: November 20, 2006
Home Town: Long Island, NY
Why is it on here?: I needed some intensity today and Brand New always brings it. This song follows the theme of the album - the juxtaposition of good and evil as Jesse Lacey the lead singer struggles internally with his personal feelings about Christianity and whether or not he belongs in heaven despite his sins.

Album: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Released: July 7, 2007

Why is it on here?: Spoon's songs all have a nice groove to them, you find yourself tapping your foot whether you mean to or not. These guys are definitely on my "want to see live" list.

Why is it on here?: This band has a great sound, reminds me a little of Arcade Fire with vocals like Band of Horses. I heard this song on the college radio station on my way home from work and knew it was my song of the day.
