1. My Party (Kenna & Chad Hugo Remix) - Kings of Leon (Purchase Because of the Time)*
Neptunes' other half and Kenna team up to teach these good ol' boys to dance.
_______________________________________________
2. Handle Me (Bjorn Remix) - Robyn (Purchase Robyn)*
Like a lolly pop that's fallen on the dirty floor. What!? It's still good, 3 second rule!!!
_______________________________________________
3. Fleur de Saison - Émilie Simon (Purchase The Flower Book)
French pop is so hot! So what if she's singing about a flower!
_______________________________________________
4. Australia (Peter Bjorn & John Remix) - The Shins (Purchase Wincing the Night Away)*
The album version's sullen, dissonant twin.
_______________________________________________
5. The Underdog - Spoon (Purchase Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga)
Horn blowing, hand clapping, tamborine shaking goodness.)
_______________________________________________
6. I Feel it All - Feist (Purchase The Reminder)
Feist is a bit over exposed at the moment... and I can't think of anyone more deserving. Let the world know of her brilliance!
_______________________________________________
7. Simple X - Andrew Bird (Purchase Armchair Apocrypha)
I don't remember which blog I read it in, but someone once described this song as sounding like "...a Radiohead B-side... in the best possible way." Well said, sir or madame!

8. Consolation Prizes - Phoenix (Purchase It's Never Been Like That)
I've been meaning to share this track for some time now. This seems as good a time as any. Let the hip shaking commence!
_______________________________________________
9. Lake Michigan - Rogue Wave (Purchase Asleep at Heaven's Gate)
I've been there once. This song is way better than that visit.
_______________________________________________
10. The Prayer - KT Tunstall (Purchase Drastic Fantastic)**
Possibly better than the original by Bloc Party. Recorded for Radio One Live Lounge. Duh!
_______________________________________________
11. Buttons - Sia (Purchase Day Too Soon)
No, this is not a Pussycat Dolls Cover. Shame on you! Oddly enough, reminds me of "They Don't Know" by Tracey Ullman. Not sure where that's coming from.
_______________________________________________
12. La La La - The Bird and The Bee (Purchase The Bird and The Bee)
Daydream pop at it's very best!
_______________________________________________
13. Foundations - Kate Nash (Purchase Made of Bricks)
She's not even trying to hide her cockney accent and it's all the better for it! The line "You say I must eat so many lemons, 'cause I am so bitter" wouldn't work any other way!
________________________________________________
14. Breakin' Up - Rilo Kiley (Purchase Under the Blacklight)
If the video for this doesn't take place at a Roller Rink I will be sadly dissapointed!

Have you heard "Under the Blacklight" in it's entirety? I've quite enjoyed it. Different than they're other stuff, but I like it.
i'm sorry, did you conclude the title of this album with the word "Mix"? i thought we addressed that jeff. i thought we made changes. both of us. do you want me to start wearing gel in my hair again? cuz i'll do it.
I can't seem to download "My Party" or "Australia".
Please fix.
