Cheat Sheet #3 - Fall and the Start of School
Music for the season: Noise seems to be what my ears are finding attractive. There are some great pop tunes here, but they are all buried beneath noise, echo, and feedback.
Radio Dept. - New Improved Hypocrisy
Swedish band that has been around for some time, but I just learned about from this most recent album Clinging To a Scheme. The above track is just a random post but it follows in the same vein as the album. I think the whole album is worth checking out. It's soft, mellow music for the fall. I would have expected a bigger pop sound from the Swedes, but these guys must come from the part of Sweden that does not get sunlight. It's not depressing just reflective.
Black Mountain - Old Fangs
Black Mountain - Hair Song
The last Black Mountain album lost me, it was just too heavy. These tracks are for fans of Sabbath who are now older and gentler.
Thee Oh Sees - Go Meet the Seed
Nice lo-fi jangly sound. I love the psychedelic echo on the guitar blasts and the ba-ba-bas on the chorus.
Crocodiles - Sleep Forever
Crocodiles - Billy Speed
I like the whole album. Just a great pop racket!
Sundelles - Dead Youth
Make a joyful noise - success!

Cheat Sheet #3
Just need to rattle off some new things you should be listening to since I just got back from a trip to Florida:
Arcade Fire - Sprawl II from the new album The Suburbs: Everything I have heard from this album so far has been great . Looks like Arcade Fire knock it out of the park again. For this track all I can say is "once I was in love and it was a gas;" in slo-mo. Here are 2 more tracks I just found from the album also:
Arcade Fire - We Used To Wait
Arcade Fire - Rococo
Best Coast - When I'm With You from the album Crazy ForYou: Been out for a couple weeks but it is a great summer soundtrack. I must have listened to this track about 20 times on my week long trip to FLA. My wife also digs it so they get 2 votes in the like category. Here is another Best Coast track, a remix:
Best Coast - Boyfriend (Ghostwaves Edit)
Menomena - TAOS from the album Mines: This album almost didn't happen - the band was fighting, they were doing other projects, and getting divorces. I'm glad they pulled it together because I loved their last one Fried or Foe.
Ra Ra Riot - Boy from soon to be released album the Orchard
Jens Lekman - The End of the World Is Bigger Than Love one of my favorite song writers, even though he crones a little too much.
I'm off now to go and listen to the new Arcade Fire, just got it from http://www.amazon.com/ for $3.99!
