	Sed diam. Ut a arcu eget nibh rhoncus pretium. Sed nec urna ac eros gravida porta. Ut rhoncus, tellus quis ullamcorper accumsan, massa est viverra justo, ut bibendum mauris sapien vitae velit.         Sonic Youth     Taken from the new SYR6 release titled Koncertinas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui, this song is a recording from a live show. It's great SY noise - experimental, out there, and chaotic. Courtesy of Sonic Youth     Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui                   The Plastic Constellations     A little bit punk, a little bit indie, very catchy. Courtesy of French Kiss Records     Sancho Paza                   The Earlies     It starts off innocently enough, but after the first chorus, you hear the drums kick back in and you know this is serious music. Experimental, indie pop, DIY and one part distinctly unidentifiable. Courtesy of Secretly Canadian     Morning Wonder                     The Earlies     An underground, overhead mix of many sounds and bands. One hour in length and completely interesting. Secret, stealthy, covert, clandestine, furtive, surreptitious. Courtesy of Secretly Canadian     Secret Broadcast #1                   Mellowdrone     You know when you wander outside of your comfort zone, and you get that sort of adrenaline feeling of being uncomfortable and exhilarated at the same time? That's Mellowdrone. Courtesy of Redmusic     Fashionably Uninvited                   Black Mountain     We've had enough of your modern music and fake painted smiles. We're all looking for a little more. Courtesy of Jagjaguwar Records     Druganaut                   The Subways     They were just on the O.C., so don't hate them because they're one of the beautiful people. This is three minutes of amped up, energetic, breathing, three chords coming out of a Fender amp on a chair punk music. Courtesy of Warner Brothers Records     Rock And Roll Queen                   Get Hustle     This is messy, schizophrenic, turned inside out, experimental, off the wall and hedonistic. Run, don't walk, to get this song. Courtesy of Three One G Records     Pharoah's Horses                     New England Roses     Artified electro stylings of detachment and clarity. Courtesy of Doggpony Records     The Good Wife                   Headlights     Indie pop with a subtle blend of electronic subterfuge. Courtesy of Polyvinyl Records     Tokyo                     The Skygreen Leopards     Byrds-era guitars that sound like an electrified, distorted sitar laid over a steady pop rythym. This is a cool song. Courtesy of Jagjaguwar Records     Julie-Anne, Patron of Thieves                     Tristeza     Bright and clean sounds from their new album, A Colores. It's surreal and happy and haunting, all at the same time. Courtesy of Better Looking Records     Bromas                     Sabrosa Purr     This goes back and forth from intense raw edges to quiet whispers. It's like a modern day Jane's Addiction lost in a time warp, playing songs from the Smashing Pumpkin's Gish album.     Goddamn You                   Mogwai     Taken from their live performance at All Tomorrow's Parties in 2004, this captures everything that the band is live: a massively loud onslaught of beautiful noise, harmonies, subtleties, and nuance.     2 Rights make 1 Wrong (live)                     El Ten Eleven     Instrumental and meandering, with a slow build in intensity.     Lorge                   Art Brut     Powerful pop with an edge. And a british accent. Courtesy of Darla Records     Formed A Band                   Hella     Experimental and high-powered. Courtesy of Kill Rock Stars     Madonna Approaches R&B Blonde...                     Comet Gain     Jangly, poppy and indie rockish good times from Comet Gain. This is the kind of song you catch yourself singing after you're done listening. Courtesy of Kill Rock Stars     Just One Summer Before I Go                     Linda Perry     She used to write big songs for big performers and now she's back to making her own music. This is lively, off the beaten path and charged with life. Courtesy of Kill Rock Stars     Freeway                     The No Neck Blues Band     This sounds like a Velvet Underground Sonic Youth lovechild. It's experimental & intstrumental. Courtesy of Kill Rock Stars     The Doon                   World Leader Pretend     Dry piano set against a backdrop of sparse rythyms. It's got some strings and a grandiose feel to it, it really ends up sounding kind of fresh.     Bang Theory                     Chad Van Gaalen     This guy gets better with each download. Supposedly a Lou Barlow-home recording kind of guy, this song has a strong chorus with strong guitar and an oscillation between quiet and loud. Courtesy of Sub Pop Records     Echo Train                     Kinski     Kinski and the feverish instrumental workout. Where do they get all of their energy from? It's quick, upbeat, distorted guitars, and has a big sound to it. Courtesy of Sub Pop Records     Hiding Drugs in the Temple (Part Two)                     Bloc Party     From the new Silent Alarm remixed album. It's got funky schizophrenic keyboard riffs and is one of the better songs on the album.     Banquet (Phones Disco Edit)                     Castanets     Slow, methodical, determined, ambient, and almost eerie. The label calls it avant-country, but it kind of defies categorization. Courtesy of Asthmatic Kitty Records     All That I Know                     The Hold Steady     Hear the long and winding road of a bar band singing on the opposites of life. The Hold Steady are indie storytellers - and the music's good too.     Your Little Hoodrat Friend                     The Very Hush Hush     It's long, and it's slow, and it's surprisingly good despite the afformentioned traits.     Ex Adult                     Cranes     This came out in 2004, but listen to it and you'll know that the Cranes never stopped making great music.     Here Comes the Snow                   Ladytron     New music from Ladytron off of the new album Witching Hour. It's sleek and high-strung.     Destroy Everything                   Spacepod: The Spacelab Podcast     Bloc Party to head back into the studio in February; Minus 5 announce tour dates, album release; Explosions In The Sky reissue first album; Tristeza announce tour dates, will release A Colores at the end of November; Celebration release new album, tour the U.S. with Calla. Get the latest music news from Spacelab on the Spacepod podcast.     Spacepod - October 23rd                     Tristeza     This is from an older release but they have a new album coming out soon. This song is a cool instrumental with a complex arrangement - You'll probably like it from the beginning but it will grow on you as you listen to it more. Courtesy of Better Looking Records     Golden Hill                   Explosions In The Sky     From the bands recently rereleased first album. Slow, instrumental, melodic, determined, and will completely change gears 2/3 of the way through. Courtesy of Temporary Residence     Look Into The Air                   Deerhoof Remix tracks - a.k.a. Deermix     Now you can be a knob twister, or at least a Deer in the headlights. Deerhoof has decided to give you the individual tracks to Rrrrrrright, a song off of their latest album. Remix the tracks and send them back to the band. It's interactive music making for the modern age. Courtesy of Kill Rockstars     Rrrrrrright remix tracks                   Cat Power     Chan Marshall releases new stuff as Cat Power. It's from the upcoming album titled The Greatest. It sounds epic, big, and full of the intensity we've all come to love from Cat Power. Courtesy of Matador Records     The Greatest                     Early Man     Wow. Somebody's been listening to early Black Sabbath. This rocks out a little more than earlier Early Man - it's great for those rural cornfield drinking parties wher there's a keg and someone has a Camaro with a loud car stereo. Or just good old head in the speaker head banging. Courtesy of Matador Records     Death Is The Answer                   Dungen     The coolest band touring America right now. Pronounced Doon-yin, these guys play the most internationalist indie rock with Swedish lyrics, great guitars, and that incredible magic something that most bands chase but never find. Courtesy of Kemado Records     Panda                   Metric     One of those mystic Canadian bands that's floating around right now. They just released an album with sophisticated, contemporary, edgy, indie, alternative, complicated music. I'm out of buzzwords for now, but the music is deep and worth listening too. Courtesy of Last Gang Records     Monster Hospital                   The M's     Part garage, part indie, part pop. The band just signed to Polyvinyl Records and will be releasing new music next year.     Holding Up                     Explosions In The Sky     Surreal, esoteric, and lofty, all in the best way. This is the music played on Mount Olympus or at the ends of the Earth. And you have to hear the ending, it's the best part. Courtesy of Temporary Residence     Memorial (Edit)                   Deerhoof     Everyone's favorite indie rock darlings are back - and this time they're trying to redefine your notion of what indie rock is. They're doing a good job of it. Courtesy of Kill Rock Stars     Wrong Time Capsule                   Wolf Parade     Wolf Parade is back with a new album called Apologies To The Queen Mary. The first single is called Shine A Light. It's a dry vaccuum of Bowie musings and keyboards. Super crisp and super cool. Courtesy of Sub Pop Records     Shine A Light                   Kelley Stoltz     Almost a post-Beatles Paul McCartney sound, tunneled through indie rock experimental vibes. Courtesy of Sub Pop Records     The Sun Comes Through                     Deerhoof - The Covers Album     The band has received so many versions of people covering their music that they decided to compile all of them and release them to the public. For free.  Courtesy of Kill Rock Stars     The Covers Album                   Chad VanGaalen     Indie rock pretending to be indie pop while actually being REALLY GOOD MUSIC. Courtesy of Sub Pop Records     Clinically Dead                     Cloud Cult     Quirky, experimental, poppy, sounds like nothing you have heard before.     Living On The Outside Of Your Skin                     Cloud Cult     Experimental Indie pop. Unconventional: acoustic guitar played over distorted drums that build up in intensity.     The Man Jumped Out The Window                     The Exit     Alternative pop that builds up into an echoey distortion-filled climax. Courtesy of Wind Up Records     Don't Push                     Letters In Binary     Grindcore, techno, hardcore, fast, loud, angry, death, throbbing, if this is your thing, click on the link.     Theme Of Crown                   TV on the Radio     In response to the government reaction to Hurricane Katrina, TV on the Radio have offered a free download. They are hoping the song will raise awareness, saying "it is our hope that this song inspires, comforts, fosters courage,and reminds us... this darkness cannot last if we work together." Courtesy of Touch and Go Records     Dry Drunk Emperor                     Dandy Warhols     The Dandy Warhols have launched a new multimedia player called Dandy Vision to let people hear their album before it's release on September 13th. This isn't a download, but you get to hear all of the tracks and watch old movie footage.     Launch Dandy Vision                     xbxrx     Sharp and pointy, loud and noisy, and they know when to trim it all back and stay right behind the edge of the threshold. Courtesy of Polyvinyl Records     Beat Rolls On                   Iron and Wine     Tribal gypsy music played with an acoustic guitar, organic rythyms, haunting vocals. Quietly subversive and resonating. Courtesy of Sub Pop Records     Woman King                     Fruit Bats     Pure indie pop with Beatle-esque vocals. This song is hard to resist. Courtesy of Sub Pop Records
