'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.

'Pharaohs & Pyramids' by Cut Copy

Album: Zonoscope

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative electronica

Man, this one has all the makings of a classic off their new album. On the CD, the tune changes tempo - I love that, especially when things keep getting better.

Unfortunately, the embedded sound track is a remix which doesn't do it justice. If I can find the original I will gladly re-post.

'Miss You' by Foster the People

Album: Torches

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative funk

Don't really know how to explain this one by LA's Foster the People. You'll have to listen for yourself.

Anyway, the show looks fun and I wish I was there. But I am there, at the Masquerade tonight.

'Lights and Music' by Cut Copy

Album: In Ghost Colours

Released: 2008
Theme: alternative electronica

Fresh music from this Australian band formed in 2001. A friend asked me today if I've posted anything by Cut Copy and I thought I had - but that's not the case . . . until now.

These guys have an 80's feel that's very smooth yet funky. More to come.
