I haven't done this in a year or so...this is inventory from the past three or so months:
1. "Against All Odds" - The Postal Service: Well, we all know I love Phil Collins and maybe not as ironically as I pretend. Although Su-su-sudio makes a great, hillllllllarious ringtone, Against All Odds makes a great song and The Postal Service does some cool things with it.
2. Sentimental Heart - She and Him: This song is as adorable as a sleepy golden retriever puppy. Zooey Deschanel has a lovely pop voice and again, I love Matt Ward's old-timey musical sensibility.
3. Shut Up and Let Me Go - The Ting Tings: Oh, iPod commercials, where would music be without you? The marketing worked again, as I rushed to the computer moments after seeing the commercial featuring this super-fun, dance-y song.
4. New York, I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down - LCD Soundsystem: Another song reminding us that Central Park is just a parking lot when you're lonely in New York. I like the slow, mopey build to this song and the stripped-down vocals - it really gets that feeling of melancholy loneliness that I've begun to understand.
5. One (Blake's Got a New Face) - Vampire Weekend: Sometimes I feel like my music taste is a boring stereotype of a 23-year-old who shops at Urban Outfitters and reads the AV Club and Nylon. Am I a sucker for liking Vampire Weekend? Probably. Regardless, their whole album is summer-listening perfection.
