My Doorbell
Last year at the beginning of the summer I heard a song that was so catchy and infectious I just knew I would play it all summer long -- that was Float On, by Modest Mouse. This year, now that the summer is finally over, I've got another song of the summer: “My Doorbell” by the White Stripes (lyrics/iTMS). Catchy. Infectious. Great when played very loud.
So when you gonna ring it?
And since y'all gave me so many great recommendations last summer (Killers, Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand and more), what should I be listening to now to make Paris Hilton say “that's hot”?
Oh, and speaking of listening to things, check out the latest Legal Underground Podcast for some great bits about John Roberts, blawgging, and podcasting. But also listen to check out how polished and professional the podcast sounds—it's amazing! When I said I was going to try to record more podcasts I didn't realize the quality bar had been raised so high since the early early days when I was just playing around. Yikes. But, well, I'm thinking I'll remain an amateur and just leave the pro field to Evan.
(Note: None of those old podcasts are currently available b/c of a server issue that is supposedly being fixed. I'm going to move them all soon to eliminate this problem and then I'll post the new links. Sorry about that!)

Thanks for the kind words! As for the "professional" issue, I once did a post about that at Blawgcast. It's okay to keep it simple!

It's not an album or anything.. but Miss Kittin does mixes and puts them on her site (find them- here). Check out the summer 2005 mix.

"Heart Attack, " by The Moaners isn't necessarily a summer tune, but you can shake a tail feather to it and smile. Their CD is great for road trips.

The Fruit Bats (I would call them a cross between the Flaming Lips and the Shins)
Andrew Bird (I see you liking "Skin Is, My")
Of course by now you've heard the nastiness that is Peaches, haven't you?
American Analog Set
Stars
It's mostly pop with a soft swoon center. You know me.

Oh.. and check out the 22-20's, if you haven't already. It's big, ballsy, bluesy, British rock and it's GREAT. (even though they toured with the Black Crowes) Since I am too lazy to html-- www.22-20s.com

ok, i wasn't going to post anything, but i changed my mind. i just heard Emiliana Torrini's "acoustic folk" song 'Sunny Road' and thought it would make a nice addition to my itunes.
