Next time it would be easier on both parties if you put all the songs you want into a new file, zip the file, then just upload the one file as a whole.

2. "Dear John" - I Monster - A Dense Swarm of Ancient Stars
3. "Awake!" - Devin Townsend Project - Addicted!

1)Drank Like a River – Whiskeytown
Because this song is awesome and it reminds me of a friend’s band who used to cover it. Good memories, good song.
2) Can’t Hardly Wait - The Replacements
I just absolutely love the Replacements. Love the horns in this song. It’s really catchy and I think you’ll all enjoy it.
3) Stuck Between Stations - The Hold Steady
Amazing band. I love Craig Finn’s voice so much and his lyrics are always amazing. I enjoy the narrative style song writing thing he’s got going on. I really like this album (Boys and Girls in America). For a fun/cute song, check out the “chillout tent” for an amaaazing song, one you have to pause and catch your breath for check out “first night”
4) Fables – The Dodos
Everyone needs some fun indiepop songs.
5) Angel on my Shoulder – Melvern Taylor
Love it.
6) Stray Dog and the Chocolate Shake – Grandaddy
Good band, good song, really catchy.
7) Five Years Time – Noah and the Whales
This song makes me so happy. And, yayyy ukulele!
8) Nothing to Worry About – Peter Bjorn and John
Really cool song. These guys have some good stuff. The music video is worth checking out.
9) Come Pick Me Up – Ryan Adams
Oh man, this song just kills me. Banjo, yes. Harmonica, ohh yess. Sexy voice, god yes.
10) I and Love and You - The Avett Brothers
“three words that got hard to say: I and love and you” with lyrics like that, how can you not love this song?

If you’re digging alt-country right now, like I am, then def check out # 1, 9 & 10

aw how come??

It's like... everything bad about indie pop rolled into one song. I love their second album though! You should definitely check it out, it's a lot more mature than their first.

The title track off their second album absolutely razes me to the ground. It's amazing/gorgeous. In fact, I almost put it on this:

No Particular Theme, Just Stuff I Like

1. "Sunset Studies" [5:34] by Augie March, from Sunset Studies (2000)
Such a pretty band, such a pretty song. It just sort of drifts along on a sort of melancholy melody and some absolutely lovely lyrics ("In a den of quitters, in a hall of hosts/between warn out waltzes and wedding toasts...").

2. "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" [5:25] by Wilco, live at Bumbershoot (2002)
An early version of the song that relies on some deliciously autumnal guitar and completely blows away the album cut, IMO.

3. "In a Sweater Poorly Knit" [5:26] by mewithoutYou, from Brother, Sister (2006)
There's a driving urgency in this one I quite like--it's emotive but without being too fussy or histrionic about it.

4. "Ghosts" [3:55] by Siobhan Donaghy, from Ghosts (2007)
One of my favorite pop albums ever, largely because underneath the mainstream danceable gloss, there's a willingness to do something a little groovier and weirder, best exemplified by this, the ending/title cut.

5. "Wake Up" [4:26] by Roddy Hart, from Home Tapes (2003)
One of the most lovely and articulate break-up songs I've ever heard, the second verse in particular.

6. "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight" [3:21] by Ida, from the Poor Dumb Bird 7" (1997)
A spare, melancholy-yet-energetic cover of the Richard & Linda Thompson classic by a greatly underrated band.

7. "Funeral Singers" [4:10] by Califone, from All My Friends are Funeral Singers (2009)
One of my favorite songs from last year, full of bittersweet images and a loose, pulsing, organic arrangement. It just swells up and envelops you--wonderful.

8. "The Piano Song" [3:59] by Kenny Young & The Eggplants, from Even One is Quite a Few (1996)
A tender, straight-faced ballad from a band more accustomed to weird little comedy songs. The sweetness here absolutely kills me.

9. "Above the Ocean" [1:29] by Foot Ox, from It's Like Our Little Machine (2008)
An all too brief little track that combines a deceptively engaging melody, skewed lyrics ("Horses*** is flowing out of my mouth in the form of words to you") and a surprisingly dense, blustering low-fi arrangement.

10. "Workin' Hard" [2:21] by Retribution Gospel Choir, from 2 (2010)
Alan Sparhawk, from Low, getting his rock on. What's not to love?

Couldn't think of much else to do with this mix I just made, but I've been this kinda mood today and I haven't put anything in this thread for an age or two, so here goes. Plus, it's not really a beginner's guide either...

Footstompin'

Linky!
1. James & Bobby Purify - Shake a Tail Feather
2. Shirley & the Shirelles - Look What You've Done To My Heart
3. The Superlatives - I Still Love You
4. The Bandwagon - Breakin' Down the Walls Of Heartache
5. Sam & Dave - Can't You Find Another Way (Of Doing It)
6. The Contours - Baby Hit and Run
7. Larry Williams & Johnny Watson - A Quitter Never Wins
8. Gladys Knight & the Pips - If You Ever Get Your Hands On Love
9. Cindy Scott - I Love You Baby
10. JJ Barnes - Our Love Is In the Pocket

Simply a collection of my favourite soul footstompers - uplifting as just about anything out there and just the ticket to get a chap in the partying mood. If you wanna check out the songs before hitting the link, I've hotlinked a couple of them to their youtube clips.

Anyway, enjoy! Here's a video to put the pretentious title into context...
