'Rush' by Big Audio Dynamite

Very cool band let by former Clash front man Mick Jones. Also, very fun to see live as the show stays hopping beginning to end with recorded dance music played between songs.

'Paradise Circus' by Massive Attack

Another sultry post from MA. At first I liked the intensity of this song - then I saw the video . . .

Warning: the video is racy.

'Stay Up Late' by Talking Heads

I don't know how I missed Talking Heads during the 2+ years of this blog.

Anyway, this is one of my favs by the band. Enjoy.

'Eyes Be Closed' by Washed Out

I'm sticking with the Washed Out theme to sooth you on a Monday night. Listening to this is like a full body massage for the soul.

Interesting background behind the band (click to get).

'Amor Fati' by Washed Out

Tune flows thru clouds and I feel good

'Need You Now' by Cut Copy

Album: Zonoscope

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative electronica

I like the subtlety of this tune and think the live video captures the coolness.

Damn, this band and album are good.

'Days Are Forgotten' by Kasabian

Album: Velociraptor!

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative rock

New stuff from this English band. It's not bad; like the big beat, baby.

Thanks Eli.
