JJ's "Ecstasy"

Sounds Like... The Lonely Islands "I'm on a Boat"
So I know "Ecstasy" samples Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop"
And "I'm on a Boat" parodies rap songs in general.
So does that cancel this Sounds Like out?
You be the judge...

Gregory Pepper and His Problems' "7ths and 3rds"

Sounds like... Ben Kweller meets Postal Service meets Calvin Harris.
With a straight up Eddie Murphy rip off at the end.
Where did this guy come from? I love him and I'm moving to Canada.
Click on the link and get 3 free downloads. This song is one of them.

Enjoy!

Bat For Lashes

Sounds like... Heather Nova meets Bjork with a sprinkling of Kate Bush.
But just a sprinkling.

Black Lips

Sounds like... the hazy dream like drug culture 60's rock of Velvet Underground and now Brian Jonestown Massacre meets new age surf town Punk.
I know that's a mouthful. But this band is a handful.
I was lucky enough to get to see them Live at the El Rey in LA back in May.
Who said LA crowds are lame? I haven't seen this much stage diving since 91. And I sure as hell haven't seen a mosh pit like that, in a small club, since at least 92. Anyway, It's a show to check out. Just stand back a little further than you normally would and if you're over seas, watch out for the urine and the vomit. That's not to much to ask... is it?
This right here is my Jam. Gives me the chills every time.

Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks"

Sounds like... Okay yes the Piano sounds very very similar to Dr. Dre's "Still"
But this band is going in a totally different direction.
And honestly after watching the video...
I don't care about anything but crawling into my bed and pulling the covers over my head.
Damn right I'm scared. That shiz was creepy!

The Strokes' "Razorblade"

Sounds like... Mandy by Barry Manilow.
Fab must really love his dog too.
Except I think at one point he tells his dog to drop dead.
Now that's just not nice.

Phoenix's "Too Young"

Sounds like... Michael Jackson meets Bruce Springsteen meets Electronic Music.
I know that seems crazy right?
But it's true.
Everything I write is actually proven fact.

M83's "Kim & Jessie"

Sounds like... it either was or should have been in every John Hughes movie ever made.

Peter Bjorn & John's "Nothing To Worry About"

Sounds like... a Jay Z song for a a second there.

Here We Go Magic's "Tunnelvision"

Sounds like...one of the many sides of Broken Social Scene
