First up, a fun new group from Japan called
PINE*am with the song "Do I Know You" from their album
Pull the Rabbit Ears (
iTunes,
Amazon) most of which sounds like it could be heard during an anime film where the main characters just play video games all the time. Then one of the most consistent bands ever, Los Angeles' Celtic/Punk
Flogging Molly did "What's Left of the Flag" from their 2002 album
Drunken Lullabies (
iTunes,
Amazon). Next was the UK band
Research with their funny new song "I Love You But..." from a two-track EP called
C'mon Chameleon (
7Digital,
Amazon,
Eil.com). And finally, going back to 1997 for a classic
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds song called "People Ain't No Good" from the album
Boatman's Call (
iTunes,
Other Music,
Amazon).
