Justice - Planisphere Part 3 Recently Justice created a four part song for the Dior Homme Summer Fashion Show. This is part 3 of the set. Nothing wildly different, just the same good stuff that Justice is known to put out. All four parts are up on their Myspace or you can download here… http://asianmandan.blogspot.co m/2008/07/jusice-x-dior-homme. html http://www.myspace.com/etjusti cepourtous

Sam Champion - Dead Moon Great song from their lively new release. These guys have a classic sound and tons of energy. www.samchampionband.com/ http://www.myspace.com/samcham pion

The Wood Brothers - Fall Too Fast One of the Wood brothers is Chris Wood from Medeski, Martin and Wood. These two brothers have tremendous music talent. Not quite country, not quite folk, not worth missing out on… http://www.thewoodbrothers.com /

Bon Iver - Skinny Love This guy is a serious musician. He spent a few wintery months at his father's remote hunting lodge in Wisconsin recording this album by himself. This song is his first single, but the whole album is solid. http://www.boniver.org/ http://www.myspace.com/boniver

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Being Bad Feels Pretty Good British Electro-Pop at its finest. Check out their songs "We Are Rockstars" and "Dawn of the Dead" too. http://www.doesitoffendyou.com / http://www.myspace.com/doesito ffendyou

listening to "Didn't I - Darondo" : so so soulful

The Walkmen - In the New Year Total rock and roll… http://www.marcata.net/walkmen /

Darondo - Legs It's a funky song about legs! I've heard this guy referred to as Al Green if he was an alcoholic pimp… http://www.myspace.com/darondo

Sleepy Sun - Lord I know some of these guys and can say from experience that they put on one hell of a show. You will find their new album in the staff picks on iTunes. While this is one of their soulful tracks, these guys can totally bring the noise. http://www.myspace.com/sleepys un http://sleepysun.net/

Beck - Orphans Just saw this guy at Outside Lands. He's still got it. http://www.modernguilt.com/

Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance Thank you Sweden for another awesome artist! Get into this while it's still fresh… http://www.myspace.com/lykkeli

Howlin' Rain - Nomads Tip: Play this on a road trip or during an extremely mellow introspective moment! http://www.howlinrain.com/
