The first set of bands are my favorites… in my opinion all of their songs are equally good– i will try to be as specific as possible- more than likely if you myspace them you will find their hook songs. At the end are a few individual song recommendations. Many of these bands are a mix of piano/ electronic and just anything tasteful. I really have a thing for happy/ modern music.
-Metric- (album Old world underground, where are you now is great especially song Combat Baby and Dead Disco)
-Mum –(the icelandic band mum not the american band)
Mums best album is finally we are noone– every song on this album is a 10 you probably wont find it on their official myspace…. look for songs -Green grass of tunnel— and —We have a map of the piano—-If you like icelandic music/mum then you will also like Sigur Ros… they are newly popular… but the new music is not as good as their older album Ageatis Bjyrn , the entire album is incredible, my favorite song is Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa
-Mew- This band will make you want to fly and is in my top 5
hook songs– snow brigade, special, apocalypso, envoy to the open fields
-Mgmt- funky, modern disco type ??? songs- the youth- weekend wars
-M83- electronic musician, this is another one that will make you wish you were hang gliding– my favorite song is Dont save us from the flames—- the albums can be repetitive but this one song is worth it. on m83 myspace the song -we own the sky
-Thee More Shallows- album book of bad breaks-WOW!
-Enon- electronic, very happy, strange ( i like the old stuff)
-Slowdive- shoegaze from the 90's , myspace
favorite song- souvlaki space station
-Tycho- electronic, this is the coolest music ever-myspace it
These are individual song recommendations
-Voxtrot- the start of something
-Joshua Radin- star mile
-Cary Brothers- ride
-Snow Patrol-chocolate
-Owl city- designer skyline (if you like deathcab or postal service then this song is for you)
-Bright eyes- take it easy love nothing, and gold mine gutted
-Abstrackt Keal Agram- Riviere- —french electronic music— not so easy to find but worth it— youtube has a version
-Love is chemicals- —- I really like their song titled Meet me on the tarmac- to find this song search in Myspace music for an artist called Scared American- it is a fan site that happens to have the song
-Royskopp- remind me- song from the caveman geiko commercials- lyrics—everywhere i go, theres always something to remind me of another place and time….
