"Can't Hardly Wait" by Justin Townes Earle Little late in posting this--sorry! Son of legendary singer/songwriter, Steve Earle, Justin Townes Earle has quite a pedigree, but he's got an easy folk sound all his own. Earle turns the popular song by The Replacements into a grea...

'Jai Ho' Remixed By Pussycat Dolls India's richest asset is its people. A billion of them. Not all of them are from the slums, or rich. But the rags-to-riches love story of 'Slumlord Millionaire' was a sure winner at the Oscars last night. Just like at the Golden Globes, Slumdog Millionaire got the ...

"Young Adult Friction" by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart NYC indie dream pop band of the moment, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, has a sound that's a bit of a late '80s college radio throwback, but that's what I like about it--a mix of My Bloody Valentine mi...

"Jungle Drum" by Emiliana Torrini Icelandic-Italian pop/folk/trip-hop vocalist Emiliana Torrini is well-known in Europe, much less so here in the States. She's got a unique, dreamy, sometimes almost breathy voice, that I like a lot. Her latest album, Me and Armini, has been enjoy...

"Olympic Airways" by Foals This post-punk dance group from Oxford, England owes much of its droning, yet upbeat and hook-filled sound to Bloc Party, but I might actually like the Foals better. NME's cover article on Foals earlier this year created buzz (regardless of your opinion of NM...

"You'll Find a Way" by Santogold Yes, I'm jumping on the Santogold hype bandwagon. Brooklyn-based Santi White went solo after doing a lead singer stint in the punk band Stiffed and the sound on her first album which I totally love is a cool mash-up of dub, '80s New Wave/Ska and alt-p...
