Do You Love Me? by Amanda Jenssen

Did Amanda Jenssen ever get to be a smash hit pop star? Maybe Do You Love Me? came around just a bit too late to cash in on the Amy Winehouse wave. But the overblown pop production and excellent singing make it a winner here.

White Nightmare by Daniele Torelli

In all likelihood, White Nightmare will not fill you with dread, horror, or crippling anxiety. The soft 4/4 beat and slowly shifting melodies will probably lull you into a relaxed trance before they send you to nightmareland.

If I Only Knew by Jeff Hanson

If I Only Knew is quite a bit different from Jeff Hanson's other tunes over on kill rock stars. It's a full production, with banjos and brass and thumping drums and oohs and ahs galore.

Noil by Sleepy Town Manufacture

Noil is one of my favorite ambient tracks by Sleepy Town Manufacture. It's full of rolling noises, rhythmic squeaks and squawks, tied together by a fading electronic melody.

Shrink To Fit by Milemarker

Shrink to Fit has great, bratty punk rock vocals with plenty of catchy hooks to keep toes tapping and fists shaking.

Terapolis Nightclub Fantasy by Ugress

Ugress gives phenomenal dance. Terapolis Nightclub Fantasy skitters into oblivion for a second near the end, then comes back, and that's just the highlight of quick dance track that's solid throughout.

The Objects Don't Need Us by Phon°noir

If the The Objects Don't Need Us, does that mean they will continue making beautiful noises without us around to appreciate it?

Violet Wants It Her Way by Brother Machine

A sweet little pop song running just under a minute and a half, Violet Wants It Her Way has Hope singing beautifully with the Brother Seth mainly backing her up.

Girlfriend Is Worse by Ex-Models

Girlfriend is Worse is a deliciously short, sweet rock song that made it into overplay at oddio a few years back.

Recognition by if:then:goto

A good lot of The Standard Model album by if:then:goto sounds vaguely like some blend of early Radiohead and the Beatles. Recognition is one of those songs. It runs through five minutes of layered pop.
