Bumping the thread to add [Tabla Toy](http://youtu.be/NUC8izazhyU) by Beats Antique. I love bellydance-type music, and this has a nice modern flair. ---

Keep in mind: My brain? It’s a strange place. [But…this…this is my latest ‘heard it, loved it, OMG, had to have the album’ song](http://youtu.be/j87ZVjF2KHY). (Green Day’s Basket Case, as covered by Japanese voice actress Haruna Ikezawa.) It…it’s just…there are no words, aside from ‘wat?’ and ‘love!’ Not my favourite song on the album (Puncolle - Voice Actresses’ Legendary Punk Song Collection), but the rest I listened to because of that one. Some other good ones: Mai Kadowaki’s take on [Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)](http://youtu.be/DzD76g4BlQA), Kaori Shimizu’s [Blitzkrieg Bop](http://youtu.be/PN-NtEDYT3U) (Oh, Goddess, that intro!), Haruko Momoi doing Blondie’s [Call Me](http://youtu.be/URVCBebg5mI) (which is a rather straighter take than the others), and just to totally break your brain, let’s hear her do the Exploited’s [Sex and Violence](http://youtu.be/TukMwYXQ3wE). There’s just so something awesomely bizarre about the whole thing. ---

[Somebody That I Used to Know](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY) By Koyte, featuring Kimbra. I’d never heard of either of them, but immediately fell in love with the song when I first heard it yesterday. ---

Aphrodite’s Child - The Four Horsemen I was listening to a mix tape of prog rock or might have been a compilation, I knew the song was a keeper even before the amazing guitar solo kicked in just by the wacked out delivery of the lyrics by what was obviously a non english speaker. Amazing song. ---

Hope this commercial counts as a song. I’ve got a new Strat and can’t get over it. Have to fess up to a crush on the girl too. I’ve done the Google-foo on her already. [Education Connection.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYS5NtRXlZQ&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLEE5AA23D76698534) ---

[Pendulum - Set me on Fire](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeOJDgAu4LE) Your enjoyment of this song strongly correlates with how much you turn up the base. I listened to song constantly for about a week then got sick of it. BUT I did like it instantly. ---

Anything by Pitbull. Sure his lyrics can be a little savagey at times but he has an amazing talent for coming up with original melodies. I must’ve downloaded 30 of his songs. And not exactly recent but never forget Albert King - best blues guy of all time. ---

I like Pumped Up Kicks, too! I heard some of it on the radio and spent an inordinate amount of time on the computer later trying to find out the name of it. I liked Time Bomb by Beck when it played during closing credits of a True Blood episode. (that seems to be how I find most of my new music - songs in the background of TV shows.)
