[quote=quitmyscene]i've decided using playlists as recommendations are easier than real recommendations. so here's one i made the other day.

1. jimmy eat world- a praise chorus
2. of montreal- the party's crashing us
3. belle and sebastian- for the price of a cup of tea
4. stars- elevator love letter
5. third eye blind- wounded
6. the get up kids- mass pike
7. the snake the cross the crown- the sun tells the moon
8. every time i die- the new black
9. the format- tie the rope
10. the elected- would you come with me
11. the smiths- ask
12. the american analog set- the kindness of strangers
13. the shins- girl inform me
14. say anything- we will erase all life on earth but us
15. the weakerthans- aside
16. minus the bear- fine +2 pts
17. hey mercedes- the boy destroyers
18. days away- keep your voices down (old, more rocky version)
19. the promise ring- happiness is all the rage

Stream the EP Lost in Landscapes by Holy Roman Empire which has former members of Arma Angelus, Rise Against, Shai Hulud, Hope Conspiracy, and The Killing Tree. However this band doesn't sound like any of their former bands, but the songs are really good. Alternative Press likened them to Longdistancerunner, Veda, and Rainer Maria.

Voxtrot- Pretty cool indie band from the Austin, Texas area. I have been listening to their EP Raised By Wolves alot lately. Check out a song here

Beerjacket- Singer-songwriter from Scotland, Peter Kelly. People have described him as a "lo-fi Rufus Wainwright". You can download his whole album "The Great Unhappiness" Here. ALl of these songs were recorded by him on a 4 track

so i guess now that i'm awake i'll do some real recommendations.

architecture in helsinki - this band is cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.
re-cognition - support the boston folk scene. please.
novi split - this is david j's (kind of like spitting) band/solo project.
therefore i am - last night was the last time i'll ever see brandon davis in tia. well, probably not. but it was the last time i'll ever "officially" see him in tia. (he drums for vanna.)
m. ward - i don't know what it is i love about him, but there's something (or everything).

well I've been listening to Hear Music's (starbucks record label) Sweetheart Love Songs compilation's all week so I guess I'll just recomend my favorites off of that.

Aimee Mann- What The World Needs Now
Clem Snide- I don't want to set the world on fire
Nada Surf- Au Fond Du Reve Dore
Ron Sexsmith- Moonlight Becomes You
Josh Ritter With Blake Hazard- Tonight You Belong To Me
Sarah Harmer- Home Soon (The Cherry Song)
Iron & Wine- Ab's Song
Rufus Wainwright- My Funny Valentine
M. Ward- Let My Love Open The Door
Neko Case- Buckets of Rain
Calexico- Love Will Tear Us Apart
Old 97's- She's Got Everything
Madeleine Peyroux- Give Your Moma One Smile
Sondre Lerche- The More I See You
Joseph Arthur- There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Mindy Smith- A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

These are probably my favorite songs off both compilations. Every one of those songs is a cover song from equally amazing artists from bob dylan to the smiths. I would recomend checking everyone out on that list plus the original songs of the ones they are covering.

oh yeah, and listen to animal collective

aw, m ward covered let my love open the door? i'll have to look for that. rilo kiley's cover of it is one of my favorite covers i've heard.
