Comment:

1 down sarah shannon
Joe Shannon used to teach painting at MICA; Sarah is his daughter, and she used to be the lead singer of Velocity Girl. This is from her first (and best) eponymous album.

2 come monday night god help the girl
This is one of Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch's new projects, where he auditioned singers by YouTube.

3 cherry in your tree andy partridge
Andy Partridge, lead singer of XTC, is a seriously weird dude. This song was supposedly originally on a kids' album, but I am extremely dubious....

4 picture book the kinks
The Kinks are new to me (and I am loving them). This is a very catchy song.

5 here i am baby the marvelettes
The Marvelettes are one of the 60s girl groups that more people should know about.

6 like i absolutely love you go home productions
Jon, you may find this sacrilegious, but I hope not. This, in a nutshell, is the BEST mash-up EVER. EVER. You may not think Scritti Politti and Justin Timberlake would be two tastes that taste great together, but they are...they ARE.

7 that's not the way that it's done the minus 5
From the great album "Down With Wilco." Jeff Tweedy, Peter Buck and a sack of locusts are in the band too.

8 know your onion! the shins
Ronnie pointed out that the shins are channeling XTC with this song.

9 i was made for you she & him
This is actress Zooey Deschanel and musician M Ward's project. The album itself is very spotty, but there are a few gems here, and this is one of them.

10 for the last time bella
A Canadian band that I like a LOT. Very dancy and cool.

11 stupidly happy XTC
I heard a interview on NPR with Andy Partridge for the release of Wasp Star: Apple Venus 2 and he said that this song was built on a Rolling Stones-esque riff.

12 meantime east hundred
East Hundred is one of my favorite "new" Philly bands.

13 baby you're my light richard hawley
A really lovely song...apparently Richard Hawley was part of the group Pulp, and is now a producer of other singers (like A Girl Called Eddy).

14 greetings to the new brunette billy bragg
I used to think this song was called "Shirley"

15 awkward age joe jackson band
So, so catchy and relatively recent...Joe's still got IT!

16 the sweetest thing camera obscura
Another awesome Scottish import. They've moved out of the shadow of Belle & Sebastian and into their own light

17 not about to lose ron sexsmith
I had forgotten how much I liked Ron Sexsmith's album Retriever (which is where this song normally lives).

18 look me up georgie james
Former Q and Not U frontman John Davis's new duo.

19 the way to your heart soulsister
A really random song from the late 80s that I loved then and now.

20 dolce vita ryan paris
This very obscure Euro-Pop/Disco song was played in the next to last scene of "The Last Days of Disco", one of my favorite movies EVER.
