songs you need to put on your ipod right now

01 MGMT

I know the song "Time To Pretend" is being blasted all over the place right now, but there are 2 tracks off of the EP that i think are better tracks. "Kids" is on their full length "Oracular Spectacular" as well but "Love Always Remains" is only on the EP. I highly recommend going out and picking up this album, especially if you like these tracks:

>>Love Always Remains

>>Kids

02 Medeski Martin & Wood

MMW is a jazz trio with kind of a trip-hop twist. very cool stuff. their latest album "Let's Go Everywhere" reminds me a lot of They Might Be Giants somehow. The album is somewhat geared toward kids, and something you can play with youngsters in the car and still be hip if your windows are down.

>>Let's Go Everywhere

>>Pat A Cake

03 Melody Club

Yeah, they're another swedish pop band. but they're been around since 2002, so they aren't really new-comers. I've been really enjoying their 2006 album "Scream". Good, catchy pop music.

>>Feed On Me

>>Fever Fever

04 Novika

On last.fm I occasionally listen to radio stations of rather obscure genres. One day i happened to be listening to a Polish DJ station and I came across Novika. Apparently she's one of the most well known dj's in Poland and has rather large body of work and if you go to her site she has some really great live sets available. Worth checking out for sure.

>>Common Tear

>>California Dreaming
