Did a little web-searching on Chicago-by-way-of-Sweden's Love in October and found previous comparisons to a bunch of bands that I'm too old to enjoy (The Plain White T's, Motion City Soundtrack, blink-182). This made me a bit leery of checking out LiO's newest EP, Love in October II. But considering the lack of investment (the EP is available to download for free through Feb. 8), I'm glad I checked it out. While the band's earlier influences have been Alternative Press cover boys in the last 10 years, it's as if Erik and [...]
Here's a little bit of trivia for you readers out there: did you know that the first List Addicts was posted way back in 2008 as a New Year's songs list ? Bet you didn't know that - and rightly so, since this is practically useless trivia. Putting the year into perspective though, I can't believe that this site has been chugging away that long and is still alive today (considering that it's basically held together by duct tape and craft glue). With probably one of the roughest years I've ever had, I consider it an internet [...]
Throughout 2010, and every week for 50 weeks, IRC readers and visitors have determined the Top Ten Songs based on all of the songs that had been featured on the site the week before. As a result, the Top Ten Songs page has become one of the most popular indie songs 'charts' on the web, [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
I won't pretend this is a comprehensive list of the great songs of 2010; I could spend a month re-listening to and evaluating all of this year's tracks. However, these are definitely /some/ of the great songs from the past twelve months, ten tracks that have impressed and stuck with me. Consider it one volume [...]

Okay, here's how it works: We each prepped a list of the 32 best songs of the year, and seeded them into a 64-track Tournament Bracket. We wrote a short descriptor of each track (we are limiting ourselves to 140 characters, in honor of the Tweet's natural brevity) and will attach a copy of each track to the [Read Full Post...]
Amanda and I have each prepped our lists of the 32 best songs of the year, as defined by our impeccable tastes. Instead of blathering on and on and forcing you to come back each day to see the subsequent portions of the list, we are taking the best annual contest currently in existence (NCAA [Read Full Post...]
For better or worse, my listening habits for new music lately have tended to be more song-based than album-based. So today I would like to highlight some of the songs that really stuck with me throughout 2010. This is not complete list of favorites exactly - I chose not to include any songs found on my upcoming favorite albums list or ones that I have covered on the blog in the past months. Instead, what follows is a list of songs that found enjoyable as well as interesting, memorable, underappreciated, or some combination thereof, which I [...]
La mattina del 13 dicembre le ragazze scandinave indossano vesti candide e una corona di candele accese. L'oscurità della notte di Santa Lucia , che secondo il Calendario Giuliano era la notte più lunga dell'anno, è ormai alle spalle e la luce può ritornare. Ci si scambia doni, si preparano dolci tradizionali, si canta in coro e prende il via il periodo delle festività. Come già gli anni scorsi , anche polaroid ha deciso di entrare nello spirito natalizio e di provare a farvi un piccolo regalo. Ho chiamato un po' di amici e di band e [...]

Whether it's the melody or lyrics, the catchiness or repeatability, the party starter or the emotive heart tugger, a song has to make a connection with you. It has to stop your mind whirling and say -- rather, demand -- "Stop and listen!". Of the hundreds of tracks we posted (and hundreds more we listened to) this year, these were the ones we most connected with. The ones that made us stop and listen every time. A quick note on the rules we followed. Basically, like last year, nearly everything released in the year - whether from [...]

You know those perfect weekends. They peak at the height of Saturday nights more often than not dancing to some golden pop, hanging with a random crew who for a few hours are the ONLY people in the world you want to be with. Then things slow a little, people gather to continue elsewhere and you mellow out in a taxi to a place you've never been where some good people calm you down with some easy tunes, a cheeky late drink or even a welcome cup of tea and toast. Then it's 6am, someone throws a duvet over you [...]

The fact that I discovered this song is just another reason to be a fan of "World of Jenks" on MTV. Yes, folks, there is a legitimate program on MTV, I don't believe it either. Don't get me wrong, I'll watch The Gauntlet/Duel/Challenge til the cows come home, but this show is better for society as a whole. Andrew Jenks does a surprisingly good job of getting people comfortable enough in a short amount of time to talk to him about just about everything, and in the meantime we learn about some underrepresented piece of [...]
Shout Out Louds discoveries Per ora, più che un documentario, fa un po' l'effetto filmino delle vacanze, ma stando a quanto raccontano i nostri amati Shout Out Louds è soltanto il prologo di una serie di video chiamata Discoveries , dall'obiettivo tanto vasto quanto semplice: "we'll show some of the things we come across". Non c'è bisogno di aggiungere altro, io li seguo. >>>(mp3): Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard (Datadamen remix) - *
>> Devotees of lo-fi stalwart Captain Polaroid likely weren't expecting a shimmering shoegaze ballad with a convincingly Death Cab -esque vocal layered over it when they downloaded the Birmingham, England artist's recently issued Beat Nostalgia EP4 . But that's what they got with a newly recorded version of "Jigsaw Of Planet Earth." Add in a spoken vocal track a la Michael Stipe in R.E.M. 's "Belong," and Captain Polaroid has turned out one of his most stirring tracks to date. All the more surprising because Mssr. Polaroid's brand of scrappy, home-recorded guitar pop [...]
+MP3: Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) [Thunderlust Remix] ~ I never thought I would see an Arcade Fire remix, let alone be posting one. But "Sprawl II" is an electronic cut that is practically begging for the remix treatment, and Thunderlust does an amazing job taking the song's dancey groove and fleshing it out even more. Works like a charm. MySpace +MP3: Caribou - Sun [Altrice's "Only What You Gave Me" Remix] ~ A couple of months ago, Caribou [...]
