♫ New Pornographers - Your Hands Together mp3
"The first mp3 from the forthcoming New Pornographers album Together is up on the Matador blog this morning. I like it, but I’m holding out for more exciting material. My early opinion is that it’s nice, but in terms of lead singles, it’s not exactly a “The Laws Have Changed” or “Letter From An Occupant.” The blog also the tracklisting for the album. I would be kinda let down if “Valkyrie at the Roller Disco” is not a Dan Bejar song." via http://perpetua.tumblr.com

♫ Snoop Dogg f. Kid Cudi (prod. by Diplo) - That Tree mp3
Wait wait wait, you mean to tell us that Snoop Dogg linked with Kid Cudi to record a song called “That Tree” and it’s NOT about weed? What is going on here? Basically, the two hooked up with Diplo to record a song about the people closest to them over a beat that alternately sounds cold and alienating (think Neptunes’ “Drop it Like It’s Hot” era blowing-on-an-empty-milk-bottle drums) and fittingly warm. “That Tree” is from the expanded, re-released edition of Snoop’s Malice N Wonderland. via FADER

♫ Dan Black - Symphonies mp3
Dan Black - Symphonies is a pretty great, simplistic and catchy pop song. He first gained acclaim in the UK via his Myspace-only song "HYPNTZ" where he rap-sang Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize" over Rihanna's Umbrellla song.

♫ Uh Huh - Wu Tang vs. The Beatles mp3
This mixtape is pretty exceptional. If you haven't picked up a copy yet, I would definitely recommend doing so. Seems like the page over at Tea Sea records has been taken down, but with any luck its you can find it making the rounds on the interweb.

♫ Hot Chip - Thieves In The Night mp3
"I’m not sure if there are many pop songs that I would describe as rational, generous, and thrilling in equal measures, but that’s pretty much what is going on in “Thieves In The Night”, on on Hot Chip’s new album in general. They’ve always toyed with presenting warm emotions with a chilly affect, and though that sometimes results in merely lukewarm results, their gems have a wonderful balance and tension to them that is more nuanced and human than flat and robotic.." -Matt Perpetua http://www.fluxblog.org

♫ Spoon - Is Love Forever? Live mp3
I absolutely adore this song off of Spoon's new album Transference - "Is Love Forever". It's hard to find any of the new Spoon mp3s online from this record.. I think there's been a lot of takedown requests from Matador peeps. Here's an older, live version that seems to have survived. Enjoy!

♫ Beach House - Walk in the Park mp3
Beach House's "Walk In the Park" is the perfect introduction to their new album Teen Dream, SubPop's first release of 2010. I finally gave this record a chance the other week after reading the rave reviews and it definitely lives up to the hype.

♫ of Montreal - Plastis Wafers mp3
"“Plastis Wafers” was the big revelation of the night. It was leaner, tighter, faster, funkier. This could be a matter of projection for me, but it seemed much sadder than usual. What had once sounded like pure desire now felt more like hopeless desperation. When Kevin sang “You are such a fucking star,” it was like admiration mixing into resentment. The song sounded like an elegy for something that was dead, or dying. “It’s so painful when they amputate the ego.” No kidding, man...." -Matt Perpetua. http://www.fluxblog.org/

♫ Phoenix - Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands mp3
"Aficionados should realize that this is a Bob Dylan cover, but the boys from France make it their own. Pending their commercialization post-Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, it is nice to see them still creating surprises while peddling Cadillacs.".. http://www.baeblemusic.com/musicblog/1-27-2010/mp3:phoenixsadeyedladyofthelowlands

♫ Spoon - Trouble Comes Running mp3
"By now, you know exactly what a Spoon record – any Spoon record, every Spoon record – sounds like. One part jittery drum pattern, one part slithery bassline, one part Mercybeat, one part late 70’s Stones tight acoustic guitar, two parts undeniably infections guitar and/or piano melody, two parts Motown, one hundred thousand parts hipster vocal detachment. If you’re looking for the curveball, I’ve got news for you: it’s not coming. Spoon has a formula down, the formula works for Spoon, Spoon is sticking to that formula. End of story. Thing is, the formula does work. There is not a bad Spoon record. Some (Gimme Fiction, Kill the Moonlight) are better ..

♫ The Knux - Floozy mp3
This is a sick track off of the new 5-track EP from The Knux. This track is my favorite because its hilarious and it has a smooth old school rhyme scheme. The rest of the EP blends electro beats with the same sort of smooth intelligence. If you like the stank of a foul funk or miss the boys from Outkast, this might help tide you over.

♫ Charlotte Gainsbourg - The Songs That We Sing mp3
Charlotte Gainsbourg was born into the kind of life that lots of girls dream about. The daugher of French musician/lothario Serge Gainsbourg and English actress/singer/fashion icon Jane Birkin, who are best known for their racy duet "Je t'aime… moi non plus". She started acting at just 13, and released an album Charlotte For Ever just two years later (with music written by her father). "The Songs That We Sing" was a single that Charlotte released in 2007 and I think its pretty fantastic just like her 2009 release "IRM" produced by Beck.

Vampire Weekend are back early in 2010 to drop their anticipated follow up to the very successful Self Titled from 2008. This album will hit stores on Jan 12th, so go check for it on itunes. The track I am posting here was a big stand out for me. For fans of The Faint, Just Jack, Peter Bjorn & John. via http://www.HillyDilly.com

♫ Hellogoodbye - When We First Met mp3
Daytrotter: What you're about to open up here is a new experience, a way of hearing this Huntington Beach, California band that calls itself Hellogoodbye, other than the one that you were expecting. It's an experience that goes easy on, almost absent of the group's electro-clash pop sound that it's been heard and fond of charming us with for almost 10 years now. This session and the three brand new songs found in it - some of which were written in a scary house in Big Bear, out in the mountains and woods on an all-dudes hang-out weekend - are an awakening to the pure elements of songwriting and musical prowess that this crew of young men have within them... Hear more so..

Black Noise - Jackin My Fresh
Stumbled across this randomly. The beginning is a little weak, but the beat drop at :42 is sick as shit. Pretty sure the first time I heard this song was walking into a strip club and it was amazing in every way possible. Worth listening to for the skinny jeans diss alone.
