Shake That Devil - Antony & the Johnsons
Everybody's favorite gay house disco diva. I'd really like to know what Mssr. Antony sounds like just ordering his coffee in the morning. Does he sound normal or does he sing everything, Broadway musical-like?

Re: Brains - Jonathan Coulton
Absolutely brilliant. The tale of two cubicle zombies, one of whom becomes a real zombie. Be sure to make zombie noises after the chorus - it's much more fun that way.
"I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough -
You never had the head for all that 'bigger picture' stuff.
But Tom, that's what I do,
And I plan on eating you, slowly."

Real Love - Lucinda Williams
If I ever reach 50, I want to fall in love with a real woman like Lucinda. All gravel and plenty of road miles but a sweet engine with plenty of purr.

New Kind of Love - Plants and Animals
A bit of the bombast of the Spree, a touch of the glee. Mostly though, just great indie music. There should be a joke about their band name right here, but someone ate my brains this week.

Bust Your Windows - Jazmine Sullivan
Neo-soul, in the Amy Winehouse way, but without the crack whoreishness.

In the New Year - The Walkmen
Happy New Year. See ya'll next year. Thanks for listening.

Happy Thanksgiving - love MGMT

I love this performance on French TV. My question: did they explain at all why they were dressed up like this?
