The new EP album by The Foxboro Hot Tubs. Which, okay guys, very cool. Now can you please go and record your next album? The Green Day one?

Pink Spiders' "Going Steady." It's about as close to how I feel about today as anything else right now.

I'm digging on Mark Ronson's cover of "Just" with Alex from Phantom Planet. It's so much fun, and the video is a whole lot of hot in one place with multiple Marks and one Alex to boot.

"This Will Be Our Year" by The Zombies. I've also got the cover by OK Go but I've decided I prefer the original by The Zombies. Their version has horns!

That song is so addictive! I remember hearing it at H&M and not being able to get outta my head for days afterward!

I'm actually into "Stop Me" myself.

Ohh, that one, too. I'm pretty much into his whole album, but I think if I put it on repeat at the office one more time, someone's going to have my head.

I am so in love with this ridiculously-named Japanese band called Bump of Chicken (see?!), it borders on not even funny. But it is, because: BUMP OF CHICKEN.

Anyway, their music is gorgeous, and despite my not being able to say much more than "thank you" and "sorry" in Japanese, there's something about them that just reaches out and grabs hold of me. Which sounds sooo smurfy, *shame.* The first song of theirs I ever heard (and which I am listening to obsessively again, lately) is "Hybrid Rainbow," which is actually a cover of another J-rock group, The Pillows. There's no actual video for it, but you can listen to it here. (And enjoy photos of the band being adorkable. Aww.)

Addicted, by Amy Winehouse. I'm, er, addicted.

Northern Sky, by Nick Drake. It's the swee-*test*-('"), simplest song, and I love it so very, very much.

"Just Fine," Mary J. Blige. I liked it well enough when I first heard it, but it's grown on me even more.

I need to stop listening to "Falling Slowly," as it has been on repeat since last night's Oscars. Well, except for when I was at work and while I was watching Clue.

The Sunday Smile by Beirut.

So beautiful.

"Miss Free Love 1969" by the Hoodoo Gurus. It makes me think of summer.

"Rooks" by Shearwater. Now I've even MORE impatient for their new album.
