I think the song you are referring to, it's called "Death and all his friends"

Nah, it's the song on the Prospekt's march EP, with vocals and everything.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
whooops!!!! sorry about that one.didn't know such song existed. just heard it now though...btw, why wasn't it on the damn album? it's better then most,if not all the other songs and it would be a great way to close the album. then again, coldplay are not exactly a concept band, so there was no way they would do something so obvious to everyone else.

Yeah I went to see them live like December 11th and they opened with this and I was like :o what is this. ha

David Byrne and Brian Eno - Strange overtones


I didn't much care for the album but this song is fantastic.

In no particular order:

Electric Feel - MGMT
Kids - MGMT
Collapsing At Your Doorstep - Air France
June Evenings - Air France
Losing Touch - The Killers
Jubilee - El Perro Del Mar
Miami - The Tough Alliance
Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa - Vampire Weekend
M79 - Vampire Weekend
Sebali - Amadou & Mariam
Sunset Blvd - Pacific!
Numnber One - Pacific!
L.E.S. Artistes - Santogold

It's actually Sabali and I totally agree. It's not really indicative of the sound of the rest of the album, but it's a fantastic electro-pop tune. No idea why they don't have a proper video for it yet.

Keep Yourself Warm - Frightened Rabbit
Kissing The Beehive - Wolf Parade
Torn Blue Foam Couch - Grand Archives
Dogsday - Augie March
Traveling With Hello Saferide - Hello Saferide
Mingus - I'm From Barcelona
Blank Slate - The National
Tall Saint (Demo) - The National
Far Away - Cut Copy
The Lightning Strike - Snow Patrol
Floating In The Forth - Frightened Rabbit
The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit
Untitled #27 - The Twilight Sad
Knee Deep At ATP - Los Campesinos!
All Your Kayfabe Friends - Los Campesinos!

That'll do.

Oops, I knew that, really. Typo. :/ And it's not perfectly representative of the rest of the album, but it has some of the same sound. Merging Western African music with electronic and pop elements.

It's been mentioned before so I will say it again. This:

That's Red sock pugie by the Foals for anyone interested...;)

I didnt post the name or title as it will be ignored as usual so I used the post as an excuse to listen to a great song.

Closer by Kings Of Leon is one of my faves.

There's been some brilliant stuff. but lately I can't stop listening to 'Tired of England' by dirty pretty things as well as rest of album

PWEI. :love:
