    Mine is my cousin's band (we're a little nepotistic in our family), Jkextrvaganza. Based in Chicago, kind of punk/ska/whatever, they're the only band I listen to that no one's ever heard of :)

    The song "Naive" by The Kooks, as well as Goldspot, The Explorers Club, and Oppenheimer (bands)
    Also, how did I JUST NOW think to start using Pandora? It's amazing!

    I am quickly falling in love with Owl City ( http://www.myspace.com/owlcity )! His songs are sososo catchy and adorable and makes you want to either dance or make something cute. Maybe both at the same time.

    Anything by Kathleen Edwards. She's an amazing Canadian singer who sings about pain and heartache in the most beautiful way. Check out the album "Asking for Flowers" and listen to "Buffalo."

    Definitely Owl City, I really like the song "Fireflies" especially. Ohhh and the playlist created by Pandora for the song New Soul by Yael Naim is really good, including songs like Little Romance and Can't Help Falling In Love, both by Ingrid Michaelson, and Eet by Regina Spektor.

    "what is your current music obsession?"
    I stumbled upon LENKA many months ago. She was exactly what I needed - upbeat singer/songwriter/folksy music. She wasn't soulful, it wasn't about love, it just WAS (breakups suck, by the way). I still dig her - big time! I was a bit irritated when I heard her played on 90210, but hey, good for her. That's great exposure!


    Can be a song or a group name, add a link if you like. I've been looking for some new tunes lately, this will totally help me out :)

    Bark Cat Bark, don't miss this. We all kind of wish we lived in Paris don't we? Well this nicely crafted French pop will wisk you away into a beautiful arrangement of traditional french instruments and an overall sharpness that makes you believe, yes... they are better than us.

    Now for the main goal of this post- yay music!

    Gotta go back to the classics...

    ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin is a cure all

    zztop.com ("Pearl Necklace" is my current obsession)

    ledzeppelin.com ("Whole Lotta Love" is a popular choice)

    For a new bluesy edge with a sound of the old, try...

    The Derek Trucks Band

    derektrucks.com (The entire "Songlines" album is fantastic)

    Happy musical hunting!

    My current obsession is Florence and the Machine.
    I am in love with their cover of Flake by Mystery Jet. You really really should download their album called Lungs.

    Hypem.com is a great site to use when you are searching for music to listen to.
    Enjoy!

    P.S
    If you want to dance, I would suggest listening to Muscles.
