mogwai • katrien this is a quiet start from a loud band out of scotland. we’ve seen them a bunch of times. they are exceptional, and exceptionally loud. it is a song that helps craft a mood or element. it’s a raw tune that still has a melody. i think it just rocks…

dawes • i can’t think about it now so, these guys keep making the list. there is always some repeats, but i hear their stuff, can’t stop listening to it, and then think, yeah, definitely on the list (again)…

beck • jack-ass from mr. versitile, beck hanson. he contributes to soundtracks. favorite of the moment, nacho libre. damn stupid funny.
haley reinhart • can’t help falling in love so, this commercial comes on in our house, and everything seems to stop. i have many versions of this song and it was a real struggle to select the one that should be on the list. i guess, i love the song because of what it means…
