CEX.
the song, "los angeles," was the entertainment of a 20 minute car ride to and from work often. the crazy beats really just puts you in the mood for a crummy summer job. http://www.mediafire.com/?exjpaczm9ro
FLATBREAD KIDS.
the voice and the words to this song are sad, but entracing.

RILO KILEY.
one of the albums i was most looking forward to this summer.. is the upcoming release by rilo kiley, "under the blacklights." this song "silver lining" is off that album.. and it is exquisite. http://www.mediafire.com/?epzlbmqocos
"dreamworld" is also off their upcoming album. http://www.mediafire.com/?2nzmzyzn3xm
KINGS OF LEON.
ha.
YES, AGAIN. the song "knocked up" is very appealing. this summer i had the liberty of seeing kings of leon twice and BOTH times this was the stand out song. plus, when caleb sings the lyrics "i don't care what nobody says i'm gonna be her loveerrr," it's rather perfect. http://www.mediafire.com/?azopwdtzol2
MASON JENNINGS.
yes, his voice is a bit monotonous. and yes, you've probably heard a song just like this before. but regardless, this minnesota born and bred has song talent lingering in the songs that all sound the same. this is the one stand out, "crown." when i saw him at the 400 bar, my attention steered toward this one man, acoustic guitar/harmonica playing man. http://www.mediafire.com/?5xdgud1vzmh
THE WHITE STRIPES.
let's face it, "Icky Thump," is not only one of the better named albums of 2007, it in itself is a stellar album. Jack White has alway been talented, but he really took it up a couple of notches this time around. "Icky Thump," the first single off this one is really great, and "A Martyr For My Love For You," is one of my other favorite with some of my favorite lyrics. Both are very different as are every track off the album. http://www.mediafire.com/?8u0ymouvwbq http://www.mediafire.com/?79xjjwxnxhb
RYAN ADAMS.
there's something about desperation. and the desperation in this song, "tonight".. well.. enough said. http://www.mediafire.com/?6bkd2qxvp34
MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA.
they opened for kings. they were fresh and i liked a lot of their hooks. http://www.mediafire.com/?8tsyzzmlbtz
THE KOOKS.
"she moves in her own way." the poppy feel to this song really screams summer. http://www.mediafire.com/?5fxb1m3jd40
