[Angela McCluskey-It’s Been Done.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4K2VTLZ7qc) I love her squeaky saxophone-esque voice.

[Lloyd Cole- The Young Idealists](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYGkHVwONnE) “Raging through the forests and the streams/Breaking into your laboratories/Still supposing we could make a difference”

[The Owls-Air](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF6IIfMGEQY&feature=related) Another Minnesota band. They’re a bit reminscent of Belle and Sebastian. “There is only air, where i used to care﻿”

[Richard Buckner-“A Chance Counsel”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1ogVMnqCBY&feature=related) -To be honest, I have no idea what this song is about and I’ve listened over and over to it. The melody with the beat always hypnotize me into just enjoying it.

Great thread idea, and finally an opportunity to post my favorite “unknown” song. It’s a rather obscure single by the Everly Brothers from 1969 that went nowhere in its time, recorded with Clarence White and Gene Parsons. I discovered it about two years ago and think that it’s one of the best Country Rock songs ever recorded, two and a half minutes of sheer perfection:

Everly Brothers - [On My Way Home Again](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHACTKhrlG0)

The B-side is not bad, either:

Great thread Taomist.

This stuff isn’t new, but it’s all new to me recently.

[MGMT - Kids](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe4EK4HSPkI)

[Mumford & Sons - The Cave](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6rYPHmSzcE)

Both of these versions of ‘No One’s Gonna Love You’ are great.

[Band of Horses](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7_s9H0BRrU)

My husband and I saw **[Circa Paleo](http://www.circapaleo.com/)** at the **[Muskogee Ren Faire](http://www.okcastle.com/)** last month. They are excellent live! Here’s a youtube [**video**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ocBQzDQOaA) with one of the songs we saw them perform. (The person who made the video took the album version of the song and put it over footage from the Ren Faire the live performance of this song was WAY better!)

I am a huge Roger Manning nerd. I have most of his stuff that’s available in the US: Moog Cookbook, Lunar Lounge, Malibu…

Nice to find a kindred spirit:)

> Another chill number. This is not a new album, it was released in 2008. If you didn’t hear it then, you need to hear it now. The song builds to an incredible climax. I have to sit in silence for several minutes after the song is over to get back my composure. Oceanlab is Justine Suissa.

And Above & Beyond. Great stuff.

I’ve only been been kinda randomly picking & choosing, but this is what has stood out to me:  
Low  
Here Come the Mummies  
Tuung (maybe I just love the idea of folktronica, but “Out the Window With the Window” was great).

But I haven’t heard anything I’ve not really liked.

And the next time someone posts about no one making good music nowadays deserves to be punched in the nuts. Hard. If anything, there’s too much good music around. It’s impossible to know all the good stuff. So much good stuff in so many great genres. This might be a golden age of music. Yeah, lots of great stuff doesn’t quite have a huge impact on pop culture, but it’s not **that** hard to find in this age of modern communication.

A few more things I like:  
Marina and the Diamonds - [I Am Not A Robot](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_oMD6-6q5Y)  
Reminds me of Lene Lovich and Kate Bush.

Grouplove - [Tongue Tied](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x1wjGKHjBI)  
I get a bit of an Arcade Fire vibe.

Azam Ali - [Endless Reverie](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRT7L3913BU)  
Middle Easter/Indian with modern influence. Gorgeous voice. If you like this, check out her other projects, Vas & Niyaz.

Gaia (Armin van Buuren) - Tuvan  
Dance music. Trance, kind of pop-ish.

Obligatory Ke$ha mention:

this live version of [The Harold Song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2jnbxP3vsk&feature=related) (a heartbreak song)

Is there a Doper last.fm group, by chance? If so I’d like to join! If not one of you should make one 🙂
