Does It Offend You, Yeah?- Let's Make Out
From the album You Don't Know What You Are Getting Yourself Into (2008)
The UK gives their version of !!! meets Death From Above 1979 at a Muse show. Half dance punk, half electronic rock, this song won't to let you just stand there listening with your hands in your pockets in your favorite statue-like pose.
Margot & The Nuclear So and So's- On A Freezing Chicago Street
From the album The Dust Of Retreat (2006)
Indianapolis shows that indie folk doesn't only come from the UK or New York's East Village. This song offers a story of two people who seem to care about their own vices more than they care eachother.
The Gutter Twins- Seven Stories Underground
From the album Saturnalia (2008)
Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) and Greg Dulli (Afghane Whigs) join forces for this stoneresque track, that sounds like it could be on a QOTSA record. The song has a way of being haunting and comforting at the same time. Well, I guess kinda like getting stoned.
