> [@hazynlazy](#): > > If you like Florence and the Machine, check out The Gossip. Here’s the song Standing in the Way of Control: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRur9D354W0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRur9D354W0) I know it’s subjective, but I think the new album “music for men” is much better. The tunes have better hooks and the production is so much slicker. I decided to a search before I posted to see if anyone had mentioned “2012” from the new album. Damn I love that song.

“The Patient Ferris Wheel” by Gaslight Anthem, aka my New Favourite Band. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PntdBxJ9tW0/hqdefault.jpg "The Gaslight Anthem - The Patient Ferris Wheel") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PntdBxJ9tW0) Checked out their albums and I like _every single song_. How does that even happen. Flew down to Baltimore for their show at Rams Head Live and had a freakin’ blast. ---

> [@Spoke](#): > > [Pumped Up Kicks](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTZ7iX4vTQ&ob=av2e), of course. That song is catchy as hell. Yep, a masterpiece of its genre. Fuck You by Cee Lo Green. ---

[Vuroien taa](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxKx9GHPrzk&feature=share) by Indica, a Finnish pop band. I just stumbled across them on YouTube last night and I’m hooked. I already bought four of their songs off iTunes. Also, [Linnansa vanki](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybK0rqaW8-w&feature=share) from the same band. I’m hooked, like I said, and I don’t even have the first idea what they’re singing about. It’s all in Finnish, which I don’t speak or read, so my enjoyment is purely musical and not due to any “deepness” to their lyrics or anything. I have to admit I do like the gypsy/dark fairytale/gothish type image they’re cultivating. ---

> [@vivalostwages](#): > > “The Calamity Song” by the Decemberists [snip] I was just listening to that an hour ago. Such a great song. Mine is Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. I loved it before the lyrics even started and when they did the question became when, not if, I would download the song. ---

[This Italian dark-ish pop number](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXVisGJotsk&feature=g-like&context=G25a8a43ALTuuhggAEAA) was thrown up by YouTube as a recommendation. Normally its recommendations are quite bizarre, I but I’m totally stuck on this. Help, I can’t stop, help! ---

[Booty Swing by Parov Stelar](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xsoCki4pTk) - I saw/heard it in a commercial and I immediately had to look it up to find out about it. In looking into it more, it’s a resampled/modernized version of a recording from the 1930’s - [Oriental Swing by Lil Hardin & Her Swing Orchestra](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMDBluSMUas). Some of the lyrics are a bit… “old-fashioned” with regard to race. ---

I just downloaded the new Chickenfoot album and [Different Devil](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvE8esemx8o) grabbed me right away. Sammy Hagar in fine voice, Joe Satriani on guitar. Nice, catchy melody. Throw in Michael Anthony and Chad Smith, and you’ve got a fine piece of music by some veteran musicians that Masta Shake would approve. ---
