Teeth Mountain :: “Keinsein”

Listen to “Keinsein” on MySpace.com.

Teeth Mountain

In “Keinsein”, Teeth Mountain demonstrate the synergy of opposing forces. And it’s not like two opposing forces as in a war–it’s more like many opposing forces like in a market, a market of delights brought from all corners of the world, except of course, this theoretical market would only use a newly-invented teleportation device to transport its goods so that no extreme waste of resources in shipping would occur. Also, all local growers would somehow receive enough money to live comfortably. Do I hear all that in this song? Yes. What do you hear?

Deastro :: “Light Powered”

Listen to “Light Powered” on MySpace.com.

Deastro

Have you ever wanted to go clubbing at a place where the theme song from Dr. Who was turned into freaking awesome dance music? Then here’s the plan:

1. Buy a club.

2. Play nothing but Deastro’s “Light Powered”.

It’s not the Dr. Who theme song, but it reminds you of it well enough. And, it’s freaking awesome, baby!

Pwrfl Power :: “Tomato Song”

Listen to “Tomato Song” on MySpace.com.

Pwrfl Power

There is just something ultra-charming about a person who can sing about tomatoes so honestly. In “Tomato Song”, Pwrfl Power is earnest, simple, direct, and so, so, so, adorable in a heartbreaking way. Poor tomato thrower! Juice gone to waste.

Black Ladies :: “Tonya Harding”

Listen to “Tonya Harding” on MySpace.

Black Ladies

Black Ladies are nothing if not suited for a basement party. And this is exactly the kind of music that can’t be beat when you’re drinking bad beer and stepping on people’s feet and getting sweat dripped on you. This is what you want to hear! This is what you want to hear! This is what you want to hear! Well, it is. “Tonya Harding” is precisely what you want to hear.

The Avett Brothers :: “Paranoia in Bflat Major”

Listen to “Paranoia in Bflat Major” on MySpace.com.

The Avett Brothers

In “Paranoia in Bflat Major”, the Avett Brothers invite you in through their front door, give you the best seat in the living room, thrust a nice friendly drink in your hands, and tell you all about the neighbors. That’s how intimate and warm “Paranoia in Bflat Major” (from the album Emotionalism) is. And they don’t even know you!

Armatronix :: “Charm Against a Wen”

Listen to “Charm Against a Wen” on MySpace.

Armatronix

Whistle away, foul progenitors of quasi-filth and anti-cultured despair. Now there’s something…not meatier. But definitely more experimental and more interesting and more … good. More good than the garbage shoved down the mouths of sheepbotlings. Here is the answer to sheepbotling programming: deprogramming. More specifically, Armatronix’s “Charm Against a Wen”. Wen? Wen. Wen? Wen. Wen?

Psapp :: “Tricycle”

Listen to “Tricycle” on psapp.net or watch the video here.

Psapp

Psapp’s “Tricycle” will take you for a bike ride in the park. It will take you for a jog on the moon. It will take you on a quick plane ride over Magical Dessert Land. “Tricycle” (from the album The Only Thing I Ever Wanted) will tire you out. (But in a good way.)
