Tragic Josh sprays rainbows of musical beauty over the disenfranchised youth of today. Come revel in the glory of his select aural spectrum of love.

2. Electric President – The Violent Blue

I can't honestly say that I think this dude is the best advert for this band, but I do like this song. It takes it's time and knows how to carry it's momentum. The last third is probably the best.





3. White Birch – The New Kingdom

These guys are incredible. But apparently all Norwegians sound like Erlend Oye.

4. Vic Chestnutt – I Flirted With You All My Life

Never really heard much of his stuff, bought an album once but was kinda disappointed, but this is just a beautiful song.

5. The Antlers – Atrophy

I'm sure you're all aware of these guys so this really isn't news to anyone but myself. I overlooked them amidst all their hype, but have recently come to appreciate what a wonderful record they produced thanks to a number of other blogs. An old dog can in fact learn new tricks after all.

8. First Rate People – Girl’s Night

Infectious and fun, just what pop should be like.





9. Herb Albert – Rotation (DJ Harri Edit)

Old school brilliance. This was what Ibiza used to be about.

10. Cold Mountain Child – Of Self

Something reminiscent of classic Dire Straits. OK, and a fair chunk of Iron and Wine as well!




11. Spirit Spine – Enchanted Island

Incredibly simple and sparse. and short. too short. but that's good.

12. Liars – No Barrier Fun

Great vocals, and a fantastic arrangement. Love the beat and the cello.
