You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm

Some current favorite songs:

"Suddenly Everything Happens" by California Snow Story (song on MySpace)
This song is a dreamy and sublimely twittery hummingbird hovering around my eardrums.

"Night Majestic" by Au Revoir Simone (sample on music player at MySpace--not the regular MySpace player but the Snocap player below)
It's like a Casio gem, but about racehorses!

"Selfish Jean" by Travis (YouTube video, featuring Demetri Martin!)
Travis created some of my favorite Brit-pop songs of the last 10 years, and this year they came back with a great new album.

"The Party Punch" by Oh No! Oh My! (song on MySpace)
"Stick you toes all up in the air--come on, it'll be fun!" The acoustic guitar plus the weird background hoots and "Way to Go!"s make this a special song.

"Pom Pom" by Matthew Dear (song on MySpace)
This is dance music unlike any other, and Dear's album Asa Breed is one of the best albums of the year.
