First up New York City's The Ladybug Transistor treats us to some of the finest 60's inspired indie pop this side of the Atlantic, with their song "Today Knows" from their 1999 album The Albemarle Sound (iTunes, Amazon, Other Music). Next was king of convenience Erlend Øye and his song "The Talk" from his quality album Unrest (Amazon, Other Music). Then we heard They Might Be Giants with their brand new song's "Alphabet of Nations" and "Flying V" from their new children's CD/DVD Here Come the ABCs (see videos listen to other samples) which isn't as good as one of their non-children's releases, but still has gems, like these (theymightbegiants.com (their own little iTunes but better quality files), Amazon, iTunes). And finally, and I mean finally The Postal Service has released more material, albeit not much, so we heard the unreleased b-side "Be Still My Heart" from their new We Will Become Silhouettes single (iTunes, Amazon, Other Music). Be sure to check out the new music video for this song, which you can see along with some of their other videos here.
