Hey Everyone
Honorable Mention:
American Armada - Let’s Party
Superdrag - Industry Giants
Ben Kweller - Changing Horses
Teenage Bottlerocket - They Came From the Shadows
The Lonely Forest - We Sing the Body Electric
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Future of the Left - Travels With Myself and Another
Monsters of Folk - Monsters of Folk
Black Roc - Black Roc
I’ve created a Grooveshark playlist of 11 songs from the top 10. There are 11 because I couldn’t help myself from putting two Dananananaykroyd songs on it. You also might be really tired of hearing “1901” by Phoenix - it’s in a Cadillac commercial - but you should give them another shot. Watch at least one of these videos from La Blogotheque: http://www.blogotheque.net/Phoenix,5179.
Additionally, while the albums in my honorable mentions didn’t make it into the top 10, I encourage you to check out Let’s Party by American Armada who are from Pittsburgh. You can listen to their entire album here: http://americanarmada.bandcamp.com/.
Cheers.
