Watch “How We Go Out Version 2″ on YouTube.

It’s true, Leslie Hall gets major points just for graduating from the same high school as me. She still had to create an absolutely mesmerizing video, however. I mean, sure, at first I was somewhat horrified, but I just had to keep watching. And there is definite charm in this one. Oh yes…. Definite charm. The only thing stopping you from admitting that, is your desire to fit in. Let it go!

Listen to “Light Powered” on MySpace.com.

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!

Listen to “Dance Floor” on MySpace.

Is this decade’s dance scene lame and pathetic? You bet it is! And no other song points this out with such clarity and hilarity as Pootychop’s “Dance Floor”. Come on. Get out there. Yeah, baby. You’re lame. That’s what it’s all about! And if you think Pootychop looks a lot like Cunt (like a) Tree, then you might be on to something. Besides, anyone who makes good music in Tulsa deserves to be reviewed twice.

Listen to “Pretty Krinkled” on MySpace.

The Color Bars will help you adjust your color by giving you exactly what you need: feel good romps of music that you can move to (if you want) or just smile to. “Pretty Krinkled” (from the album Kairos At Infinity) is catchy, so you should have no problem catching on.

Listen to “Loredo” on MySpace.

If you ever had the slightest notion that, while you were playing the old, classic video games, you were somehow a part of a thing of great beauty? Adventure gives you proof that you weren’t just having delusions of grandeur.

You can listen to “Cheerleaders vs. Drillteam” on MySpace, but you should really watch this live video on YouTube.

Totally Michael is more concerned with putting on a good show than with putting out good music. Yet, there’s something catchy about unrestrained enthusiasm. In “Cheerleaders vs. Drillteam” (from the album For You), Totally Michael leads you in an all-out dance brawl, so choose your side and dance to win.

Listen to “North American Scum” here.

You can’t get any more cool than LCD Soundsystem, because they are just that cool. How do you get to be that cool? Lay down the catchiest beats possible, keep them simple, and have fun. Their lyrics chronically make fun of stereotypical notions of cool, too, which only makes them that much more cool. And they do it by simply being themselves, which is the coolest form of coolery. Cool. “North American Scum” (from the album Sound of Silver), then, is the definition of being cool the natural way.

Listen to “Mondo ‘77″ here.
If you ever make a pact with the devil that forces you to be on the dance floor shaking your booty every time you hear one particular song, I hope that that particular song is “Mondo ‘77″. Brought to you by Looper, a side project of Stuart David from Belle & Sebastian, “Mondo ‘77″ (from the album The Geometrid) starts with a simple keyboard riff that sends your body into a repetitive beat tapping frenzy. By the time the horns come in, you should officially have your passport stamped by a Cloud 9 border agent. In a world submerged in negativity, this anthem of happiness is the definition of unchained joy.
