there's sadness written on every corner

The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage
Whoever this Geoff McFetridge guy is, he is so damn brilliant, doing all the hand drawn animations. It really fits well with the whole song, tune, beat and all.

Neon Indian - Terminally Chill
First, it was Deadbeat Summer, now there's Terminally Chill. Is this how taking psychedelic drugs feel like? The wailing rise and fall of synth beats was particularly good, drew me into the song.

Passion Pit - Folds In Your Hands
Feeeeel it rainnn, feeeel it rainnn.

ohh and i bet you guys already know, Moth's Wings was used as the closing song on Gossip Girl on Episode 4 - Dan de Fleurette!

A Fine Frenzy - What I Wouldn't Do
From her new album "Bomb in a Birdcage", from which was probably taken from the lyrics of this song. What would we do without these female singers? Anyhow, I noticed that the female singers/groups like to use the hand clapping beat thing. It's here in this song, Au Revoir Simone uses it quite a bit as well. Love them.

i was a train at the point where the railroad ends

La Roux - Tigerlily

A Fine Frenzy - Blow Away
This is from her latest album, "Bomb in a Birdcage".

Hot Chip - One Pure Thought

this day's a spinning circus on a wheel

A Fine Frenzy - Think Of You

A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover

A Fine Frenzy - Ashes and Wine

Listening to Lush 99.5 unearthed this singer and the first song, and subsequently the other songs on youtube. Different from other singer/songwriters like Priscilla Ahn or Meiko, who play the guitar, in that she plays the piano, she's got quite the good voice like them. But somehow I feel that her songs are more polished? Maybe it's because she's signed to a major record label. Her new album, Bomb in a Birdcage is set for a September 8 release. Meanwhile, Blow Away was the first single released from that album.
