First up Ann Arbor Michigan's
Dykehouse with their song "Lost Holiday" which sounds like it belongs on the
Lost in Translation Soundtrack, but can actually be found on their new album
Midrange (which you can get some of in
iTunes, or the whole thing from
Amazon). Then we heard the musical perfection that was
Combustible Edison with their song "Cat O'Nine Tails" from their final album
The Impossible World (which is in
iTunes, or at
Other Music or
Amazon). Next was the shout-singing charmers
DQE with their two, short songs "Go Bananas" and "Cigarette Song," both from their 2001 album
Queen of Mean (which
Amazon carries). And finally
Koufax did "Bright Side" from their hit-and-miss-but-best-to-date effort
Social Life (which is all up in
iTunes, and also at
Amazon and
Other Music). They have a new album coming out August 11th, so if you dig "Bright Side," be on the looky for that one.
