Post #2 for today

The interwebs at work are too slow to listen to pandora radio, so I've been frequenting WOXY.com as well as listening to songs on youtube. Here then, are some recent favorites.

You can find all of these on youtube, and I was nice enough to provide links

1) Phoenix - Lisztomania
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BJDNw7o6so
These guys are from France, and while they've been around for a while, they've recently re-invented their sound and have gone from being a Jamiroquai rip-off band to something more fun. The lead singer has a great way of inflecting his words making me wonder what is English and what is French.

Phoenix are so good, that here is another one of their songs

2)Phoenix - 1901

Yes, this is the song from the Cadillac commercial. Don't judge, life in France is expensive, and the boys need to eat, look at how skinny they are.

3)The Go! Team - Jr. Kickstart

Mrs. Pacman meets 70's cop show. Enjoy this one. The Go! Team are my favoritest band lately.
I hope Josh, Rob, Gene and I can get our yet unnamed band to be this funky

4) Spoon- Don't You Evah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPdP1jBfxzo&feature=fvst
I love Spoon almost as much as The Go! Team. This is very minimalist music, but its groovy as hell, and Brit Daniels has the coolest voice.

More spoon? OK

5) Spoon - You got Yr Cherry Bomb
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4cgryW0q9U
Its like Sun Records never went away. Sigh...

None of the above would have been possible without....

6)James Brown - Get Involved/Soul Power
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHYnW8njGis
YES! Thats right, at around 2:30 you see the man's "cape attendant" come out. If that isn't Rock&Roll, than I don't know what is

except maybe

7)Chuck Berry - Maybellene
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y3-NSalpKI
The real granddaddy of Rock&Roll.
Maybe we can someday get 100s of people together to duck-walk all over Elvis' grave.

one more for the road. Ear-worm warning!

8)Band of Horses-The Great Salt Lake.
