Johnny Foreigner - Salt, Pepper and Sinderella



RAPE THE REPLAY BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hail to the Thief or OK Computer...argh I don't think I'll ever be able to choose.

ENJOY THIS MASTERPIECE. I know everybody is aware of Radiohead, but we could always have some motivation to go back to their awesomeness. I know I hadn't listened to them for a bit, and that's a mistake.

Thom Yorke is a genius

A first “electro-string” album dexterously mixing the clanging violins of “RondoParisiano”, as baroque as they come, the lofty soul of “ Little bit of feel good” and the heady pop bubbles of “5 AM” (with the young west coast rap singer K.Flay) : twelve masterclass titles uniting a very 70s Easy Loving (Francis Lay style, enough to make Dimitri From Paris jealous) to the pent-up wrath of “Dies Irae”, a warlike march of unimaginable beauty, a hybrid both deeply melodious and radically electronic, a daring fusion of universes which have long been on a quest for each other and which, thanks to SALM, finally prove to be a match made in heaven.

More SALM

A beautiful, beautiful song performed live by an amazingly talented artist, in my opinion.

A Norwegian indie electro band, Lemaitre. I discovered them several years ago on a norwegian indie music site called "urørt" (trans: Untouched), and they´ve developed into a MGMT/Daft Punk/Justice- like hybrid since then

[CBarca]

I like it.

EDIT: I REALLY like it. Great find.

Also, it's ALWAYS important to realize that while The Killers are hardly indie, that they are amazing, and if you don't occasionally go back and give them a listen, you are missing out.



NOT actually sure if we are human or dancer.

Tomorrow I'll post some songs by a great band called The Lumineers.

The Lumineers





Ho Hey is such a nice uplifting song. The type of song that would be fantastic to listen to if you were in a good relationship.

@ Thimmy, I really like that Lemaitre band. They've got some great stuff.

[Thimmy]

I´m glad you like them

I tend to listen to this song while driving in the rain. It makes the weather seem less depressing

[Thimmy]

MEW! One of my favorite bands

[CBarca]

Stars!







This band is really weird. I really like them, but I don't like a good 30-40% of their songs. Which is infuriating, cause I like a lot of their songs but then there are a good amount I'm just so "meh" about.

[Thimmy]

I like this song, but I´ve never heard of the artist before. It´s a proper feelgood song

Metric is a Canadian indie rock and New Wave band founded in 1998 in Toronto.[1] The band has also at various times been based in Montreal, London, New York City and for a short time Los Angeles. Metric consists of vocalist Emily Haines (who also plays the synthesizer and guitar), guitarist James Shaw (who also plays the synthesizer and theremin), bassist Joshua Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key.

Wikipedia - Metric







Canada has quite a few bands similar to Metric (like Stars just above)
