So I’ve been on a bit of a music hunt lately and somewhere within that I found it necessary to post a blog about the treasures I discovered.

1.Nrrrd Grrrl- MC Chris

I wish my rhymes were this clever.

2.The Devils Music- Hospital Bombers

Irony is always entertaining.

3.Electric Feel- MGMT

Definitely has a cool disco-y vibe. Think along the lines of the Scissor Sisters.

4.Electric Feel (MGMT Cover)- Katy Perry

So typically I’m not a huge Katy Perry fan, but this song has a completely different sound than the Katy Perry I’ve known. Acoustic and very raw sounding. Not to mention that it sounds especially cool if you listen to the original song first.

5.Wishful Thinking- The Ditty Bops

Very bubbly folk rock. I’m a big fan of simple lyrics.

6.Astronaut: A Short History Of Nearly Nothing- Amanda Palmer

If you are not already familiar with Amanda Palmer or the Dresden Dolls then I advise you to dash over to your nearest cd supplier and purchase as many albums of these glorious folks as possible. These lyrics are incredibly clever, the piano incredibly raw and the vocals incredily sharp.

7.Paper Planes (M.I.A cover)- Panda Riot
