the last stand is for the lawman

Practically every day that I go to the gym I think, you know, I should blag about some of the songs I like. This is not a music blag, but maybe folks would be interested in listening to some music here every so often. So here it is!
(n.b. I’m going to link to these songs, so if the links break because the other sites’ owners take them down it’s not my fault!)
The Postmarks: Goodbye — I think I heard about these kids on the indiepop list. This is a great sweet catchy pop song. I especially love the horns + strings. But I don’t like any of the other songs they have on their site. Very odd. Also odd: Jonathan heard this song in the Lowe’s when he was buying plumbing stuff a few weeks ago.
Annemarie: Apple (suicide on your stereo set) — These kids are from Singapore, I think? And I think a friend pointed me to this song. Very twee + singable (except that I can’t figure out what they are saying!).
The Consultants: Hollow-Bodied Evening — An oldie from my friend Ed’s excellent Shelflife label. Wistful but catchy pop, with enough BPM for the gym.
Best Fwends: Skate Or Live — You may remember that these funny crazy Austin kids were one of my fave (and only!) live shows this year. Even after 6 months I still love this song. Good for the morning, will wake you up! For some reason I couldn’t find an mp3 for this so here is a video.
MJ Hibbett and the Validators: Easily Impressed — This song is really fantastic, especially if you are tiny bit depressed. Possible downside: you may giggle out loud at the lyrics, provoking stares at the gym. Whatever. Linked from my friend Punk Rock Karl‘s blag.

Indeed, it kicks! I must admit that I’ve been too busy for close reading of it lately, but it’s been invaluable in scratching my new music itch since my kid was born (= no time for live music, record stores, etc.).
Nice to know the indiepop list is still alive and kicking.
