1. LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends
Just an incredible tune. The Franz Ferdinand version is also nice.
2. Spoon – Get Yr Cherry Bomb
The Underdog should give Jon Brion a grammy for best production, but this is THE song from the beset album of the year.
3. Okkervil River – Plus Ones8 Chinese brothers? There may be one too many references here, but that’ll never keep me from loving this song.
4. Jaikishan- Title Music From Merchant Ivory's Film Bombay Talkie
From the Darjeeling Limited soundtrack, it’s an amazing tune.
5. Lucky Soul – My Darling, Anything
Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skipping this song would be a crime (sorry, I had to). I drove my friends crazy repeating this part of a song on a roadtrip.
6. Justice– D.A.N.C.E.
7. Ted Leo & the Pharmacists – La Costa Brava
8. Beirut– Forks And Knives (La FêTe)
9. Radiohead– House of Cards
10. Oh No – Heavy

Screw iPod, this is still an awesome number.
12. The New Pornographers – Unguided
13. Jens Lekman– Sipping on the Sweet / I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You.
