The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Ditch: Fun song from the exciting blues explosion.

Boomtown Rats - Nothing Happened Today: The early Rats always had an urgency to their music that I find very compelling.

Brian Tyler - The Mummy's Eye: It has been a while since the Bubba Ho-Tep soundtrack made an appearance here. This is a wacky dysfunctional collection of banging and noise...I guess a mummy's eye would bring terror (the mummy is coming, and he's looking at you...better walk faster...).

Cabaret Voltaire - Jazz the Glass: I don't know enough about the band to understand why they sometimes sound dancy and why they sometimes sound like The Residents. But I like The Residents sounding tunes.

The Beta Band - B + A: Another band I don't know much about, but I really like The Three E.P.'s release that this tune is from.

Pit Er Pat - Uh-Oh: A simple-sounding band that just goes off in strange enough directions to be very entertaining.

Cursive - The Road to Financial Stability: After a Cursive song appeared here a few weeks ago, I've been listening to the latest Mama I'm Swollen release pretty much non-stop. I didn't care for that release much at first...mainly because it wasn't The Ugly Organ which is simply fantastic, but now I'm starting to think Cursive gets better with every album.

Subtle - Call to Dive: If this trend keeps up, one might think I have a lot of songs from this decade on the iPod. Go 21st century...
