More of the year's best music.

The Dodos - "Fools"

Pounding drum beats + accoustic guitar + anti-apathy lyrics = One heck of a song!

Gavin Rossdale - "Love Remains the Same"

Great to see Gavin back, and with a beautiful song, too.

Vampire Weekend - "A-Punk"

I knew Vampire Weekend was destined for greater things after hearing this song.

Death Cab for Cutie - "Cath . . ."

Great song from Ben Gibbard and company.

Santogold - "L.E.S. Artistes"

Ah yes, Santogold—thank you for making music exciting again!

 

No Kids - "I Love the Weekend"

From the album “Come Into My House,” the greatest album no one has ever heard of!

Shwayze and Cisco Adler - "Corona and Lime"

Okay, so Shwayze isn’t exactly the most skilled rapper in the world. But thanks to Cisco Adler (who proved to be more than just another rich kid with this song), this is the song I could not get out of my head this summer.

Brooke Fraser - "Shadowfeet"

Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, beautiful video. Just beautiful!

Check out Port O’ Brien. Their song called “I Woke Up Today” was my number 1 for 2008. Such an amazing song. I think with the choices you have posted you’d really dig it.
