Of Montreal did "Requiem for O.M.M." from their brand spankin' new
The Sunlandic Twins (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music) which is more like their last album than any that preceded it. Next was Brighton, England's
The Go! Team with their song "Ladyflash" from their insanely good debut album
Thunder, Lightning, Strike (
iTunes,
Amazon). Next we heard a few songs by Scotland's often-
Looper-esque
Ballboy. First was "I Lost You, By I Found Country Music" (featuring
Laura Cantrell) from his
Past Lovers EP (
Poppolar), then "A Europewide Search for Love" from his album
A Guide for the Daylight Hours (which contains the original version of "I Lost You, But I Found Country Music" without
Laura Cantrell making it absolutely amazing) (
Amazon,
Poppolar). And finally
The Ladybug Transistor did "Perfect for Shattering" from their 2002 album
Argyle Heir (
