First up the UK's
Libertines did "Horror Show" from their 2002 quality-rock album
Up the Bracket (
iTunes,
Other Music,
Amazon). Then the Grand Rapids twee-poppers
The Icicles did "Margie" from their
Pure Sugar EP (
Other Music). They have a brand new album,
A Hundred Patterns (
Poppolar), which was recorded at
The Ladybug Transistor's studio, so you know it's gotta be good. Next was Scotland's
Dogs Die in Hot Cars who have been heard on
The Sounds in My Head before, but are good enough to be heard again, and they are with the song "Godhopping" from their 2004
Please Describe Yourself (
iTunes,
Other Music,
Amazon). And finally, another favorite band of
The Sounds in My Head, Los Angeles'
Rilo Kiley did their song "Plane Crash in C" from their first album
Take Offs and Landings (
iTunes,
Other Music,
Amazon).
