Flight of the Conchords - Carol Brown from the record I Told You I Was Freaky.
Spotify link: http://open.spotify.com/track/0nlNf6h6vQANi1VSlh3Aau

Arctic Monkeys - Pretty Visitors from the album Humbug.
Spotify link: http://open.spotify.com/track/7LQYHt7q67kKlNNkEiiAZI
I’m traditionally a pretty big Arctic Monkeys fan, I really enjoyed their last two albums. I must admit that I was a bit let down by Humbug (I don’t think the influence from Josh Homme, Queens of the Stone Age, was of positive nature), but [...]

The rules are simple: I’ve created a list of 24 great tracks from albums released this year, and I will create a new post for each day, hopefully containing a spotify-link to the track if it’s available there. I will also [...]

It’s the final countdown. Let’s begin.
3. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
The self entitled debut album from this five-piece band from Seattle is astonishingly well done, and should be on everyone’s top album lists of 2008 (and it is on most of them). The album features great vocals, great musiciansship and great melodies. There are no [...]
