Good Old Clyde by MC Frontalot

Once upon a long time ago MC Frontalot crafted a song from the drumbeat of one of the most sampled drummers ever, Good Old Clyde Stubblefield.

Enjoy the sounds of the funky drummer in ogg vorbis format.

Futures by Zero 7

Ordinary grocery store commodities mutate and morph hypnotically into each other to the tunes of Zero 7's Futures. The downtempo pop is catchy but the visuals alone are worth the experience.

DVNO by Justice

If you want music to dance with and make the girls sweat, I recommend four capital letters: DVNO.

Golden Cage by The Whitest Boy Alive

Golden Cage is a relaxed indie rock track with a stream of consciousness animated video involving doors opening out of doors and people falling through their skateboards.

Joy Comes In The Morning by Xploding Plastix

Xploding Plastix's electronic jazz often sounds like the soundtrack for an action thriller. So it just makes sense that the video for Joy Comes in the Morning is an action packed duel between a bunny controlling a giant robot and a cat monster. It makes the song sound more like the soundtrack for an animated short instead of the animation seeming like a video for the song.

If I Had A Heart by Fever Ray

Cliptip's post tells me "If you were waiting for a new The Knife record, you will be pleased with the debut of Fever Ray." I am waiting for a new The Knife record, and If I Had a Heart is satisfying. The video's slow, organic, dark visuals mirror those qualities in the song.

Chandelier Searchlight by Deerhoof

Chandelier Searchlight is one of the cutest videos ever. It's paper cutout stop motion animation, showing the many torments of a ghost on a journey. The song is cute in a very Deerhoof way, with less energy and more relaxed than I typically find their music.

Staring At The Sun by TV On The Radio

TV on the Radio's first big hit was Staring at the Sun, is at base a catchy pop tune, distorted and layered with effects to become something unique. The video mirrors the song, messing with the band-playing-the-song formula using images of the performers as a base for experimenting with colorful effects.

Spalding Gray Is Missing by Lemon Party

There's a tragic dearth of songs from Lemon Party. Though Spalding Gray is Missing is not the best of them, and even though it features high school level Spanish lyrics, it's still a fun, upbeat, quirky rock tune.

Like Weather by Jomi Massage

Like Weather is like some experimental folk mood piece. It creeps forward with a slow, beautiful awkwardness.

Klavier Aparat by Ugress

One of the things I love about Ugress is his diverse styles. Klavier Aparat is more playful and cute, but maintains an edge of mystery too.

Why I Try To Look So Bad by Comet Gain

As I write this post, there are girls in the bathroom putting on makeup and I can't help thinking that Why I Try to Look So Bad is an apt title. Comet Gain's song is unrefined rock, rough around the edges. A rough look to match the sound can also be charming.

New Brain For Mad Clone by Sleepy Town Manufacture

New Brain for Mad Clone is perfect creepy ambient music. It keeps things interesting with a dynamic build up, powerful drums, subtle tinkling tones, and squealing electronics. The dissonance ebbs in and out, building and releasing tension, hiding behind melodies and beats.

Cur by The Cow Exchange

It's difficult to make a mess of sound into something that resembles catchy, but to my ear Cur manages something like that. It was an impressive enough feat to get The Cow Exchange within one vote of a Song Fight win.

Little Sister by The Walt

Little Sister is one of those rock songs that rides along a simple, prominent bass line. The other main attraction is the passionate sing/scream of the lead vocal. Great for warming up the blood a bit.

Nobody Waits by Track N Field

When I listen to Nobody Waits I find myself floating calmly on an empty beach, or drifting calmly through the city streets. It's superb downtempo music.

Mo Song by Brandon Patton

I can't help but speculate who the Mo addressed in Mo Song is. Half of Duboce Triangle, probably. Mob01d, perhaps? Maybe they are one in the same?

The song itself gets some good mileage from the line "please don't put your cigarette out on your shoe, because it burns your sole." Clever.

Slice Consume Pronounce by The Apartment

Slice Consume Pronounce is a lot like its title: vague, unclear, sinister. Electronic music meets Nietzschean angst.

Leap Year Birthday by Podington Bear

The classic birthday tune seems like a horrible place to start building a piece around, but that's probably only from hearing it sung by a tuneless choir time after time. Podington Bear makes a pleasant ambient piece of it. It's a Leap Year Birthday.

Walking Distance by Anti-Hero

Walking Distance covers hypnotic rhythms with a moody electronic melody and acoustic flourishes. It ebbs and flows through its five minutes with a strange, ethereal presence.

My Sister by ADD

Many of ADD's songs, including My Sister, have a slight echo to the sound that combines with the simple guy with electric guitar setup to create a sort of nostalgic vibe.

Brown Boxes by Puce

Brown Boxes was Puce's third Song Fight entry. He was trying to make an elaborate production of it. The song is simple but the orchestration is satisfying.

Canto Morno by Aline De Lima

Canto Morno is a subtle and beautiful song. Aline de Lima's voice is smooth and lovely, with an arrangement featuring subtle guitar against a samba with the occasional flourish.

Glass Eye by Max The Cat

Max The Cat is just waiting for the other shoe to drop. His situation is unstable, like looking through a Glass Eye.

The Blitz by Glenn And Rachael

This one goes out to all my teetotalers out there. The Blitz advocates all the benefits of alcohol use. What's a little self-destruction when you get to escape responsibility and can finally approach the opposite sex?

Backyard by New Flesh

Backyard has a formula aiming straight for the dance floor: start with a hot beat, mix in reggae inspired rapping and lyrics about sex. Watch the booties shake.

Discipline by Nine Inch Nails

Anyone who's interested in a free Nine Inch Nails album has probably already grabbed The Slip. But even if you're not a fan, you still might enjoy dancing to Discipline.

Bag Of Hammers by Thao Nguyen and Get Down Stay Down

Thao Nguyen has catchy hooks and clever lyrics. Bag of Hammers still soothes like a lick of ice cream.

They've also made not one, but two videos.

One Beautiful Summer by Ants (Invisible)

Ants (Invisible) produce an epic choral performance for One Beautiful Summer. Beautiful indeed.

What We Need More Of Is Science by A Kid Named Ace

Religion bashing is always good fun, and when Song Fight hosts a fight titled What We Need More of Is Science it's nearly obligatory. A Kid Named Ace obliges, with some catchy indie pop.

This Is Old by State Shirt

A sentiment for the new year: This Is Old.

If it is not old yet, wait until tomorrow when Remix fight posts their remix entries for you.
