The New Pornographers - Your Daddy Don't Know
Neko Case sings the crap out of this one, guys. Seriously. Plus, it's catchy as all hell.

Phoenix - North
Schneestern gave this one to me, and it's so soothing. All instrumental, kind of...hypnotic without being trance or sounding manufactured.

Sufjan Stevens - The Dress Looks Nice On You
Typical Sufjan being awesome. Surprise!

Seasick Steve - Cut My Wings
Okay, this guy was on the Hootenanny and he wore overalls without a shirt and played his own percussion by thumping his foot on a box. It was so fucking awesome. He jammed like you wouldn't believe. If you can find it on youtube, link me, I want to watch it over and over again.

Feist - Honey, Honey
This is the sort of song you expect to find playing in the background of a really atmospheric make-out scene.

Mazzy Star - Wild Horses
This was on Buffy! Grounds for downloading, right there.

Jenny Owen Youngs - Fuck Was I
Considering what Jenny looks like (a sixteen year old Catholic school girl, if you were wondering), this song is really mature and wry and clever. Kind of reminds me of a polished mix of Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple.

Patrick Wolf - The Railway House
This song, inexplicably, makes me think of John and Rodney as train hopping ragamuffins. No, really, it's a great song, though.

Mildred Bailey - Everything Depends on You
AHA! Ahaha ha! A while back, I sent Sofie on a mad google search for the song in the "Missed The Saturday Dance" trailer, but we couldn't get hold of a proper sound bite because it was so rare. Then I went out and bought her CD. It's everything I dreamed it would be.

The Boy Least Likely To - Be Gentle With Me
So charming! I'm charmed. Also this was given to me with the comment, "Reminds me of Rodney!" so. You know. <333
